About Zoe

Zoe is ready for the next chapter of her life. She’s a striking 6-year-old Golden Retriever and Yellow Lab mix with golden hair and an easygoing, affectionate nature. Zoe fits in just about anywhere—she does well with dogs, cats, adults, and children alike, so whether the household is hectic or mellow, she’ll settle right in. She’s house-trained and crate-trained, reliably well-behaved, and easy to live with. Her journey has been anything but easy: Zoe came to the shelter in urgent condition and needed immediate emergency care. She was diagnosed with Addison’s disease, a hormonal disorder that just means she’ll need a monthly shot and a small daily pill to stay healthy. With this routine care, Zoe’s energy and playfulness returned fast, and she now enjoys life like any other dog. She will repay her adopter with devotion, loyalty, and lots of affection. Zoe’s adoption fee is sponsored, and she’s waiting in Houston, TX, for a family to welcome her home. Every animal deserves a happily ever after. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
