About Zoey

Zoey is a six-year-old German Shepherd, tipping the scale at a sturdy 75 pounds, and spayed. She’s the kind of dog everyone hopes for: steady, loyal, and truly social. She’s comfortable with people, gets along well with other dogs and cats, and usually has no problem with children. That said, Zoey is not thriving in her current home—she’s overwhelmed by the energy of toddlers, often anxious and unsettled. She’d be much happier in a quieter household with less daily chaos, one where her gentle temperament won’t be stretched thin. Zoey is well trained, reliable, and ready to form a deep bond with someone who can offer her a sense of calm and stability. She deserves a place where she can relax, be appreciated, and give back all the affection she has to offer. Zoey is a courtesy posting and not directly at New2U Rescues; any applications will be sent to her current owner. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
