About Zoey

This lovable gal is Zoey! She is a complete love and is currently living in a foster home. Since her foster mom knows her best, here is what she knows: "Zoey is doing great with us! She's such a mellow girl overall but has been getting some spring back in her step recently and is happy and energetic! She is perfect on a leash and completely house trained, plus she knows a number of commands. She likes to play tug of war or fetch but is also very happy to sit on the couch together and watch a movie. She doesn't seem to have any issues with being home alone while we're out for the day. She's been eating well and has no problem taking her pill (Zoey has hypothyroidism). She is just a great dog in every way! I think she's going to be a really great match for someone. She is basically the perfect dog: not too loud/barky, but barks when a stranger comes to the door. Does great on walks, really listen and understands commands, likes to sit with you but isn't super clingy, does fine at home during the work day. She frolics when we go outside and loves to play! She is great on a leash and has been so happy in the Chikaming preserves - she does great in the car too. She hasn't been around other dogs since I got her, but she loves to play tug of war, so I think she might enjoy a playful dog-sibling." -Zoey's foster mom. Zoey has lived with dogs before and did best with dogs who were relatively chill and easy-going. She does wonderful being crate-trained. She knows how to sit, stay, come and lay down. She LOVES treats and is so motivated to work for them. She loves car rides and walkies. Children in the home should be about 10ish and up. Zoey asks for a home without kitty friends. She will need to be on medication given that she has hypothyroidism. The medicine helped her immensely and her quality of life is so much improved since being on it; don't worry, though! It costs less than $1/day; potentially even less if you buy in bulk! Zoey also has a foot drag/stumble sometimes with a bit of a head tilt. We have consulted with a neurologist and, without an MRI to potentially diagnose, we do not know the source of her neurological symptoms. That being said, she is just as capable as any other dog and there are times when her symptoms aren't present or noticeable. Being around Zoey is like an instant happiness booster. We agree with her foster mom-she pretty much is the perfect dog! Please email us at pets@michianapets.org to request an adoption application. Zoey is about six years old, is spayed and weighs around 90 pounds or so.
