About Zoe

Zoe is a sensitive, smart mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Pit Bull Terrier who opens up when the world feels calm and safe. She’s cautious in busy or noisy environments, picking up on every movement and sound, and that sometimes spins into anxiety. Around the people she trusts, Zoe turns gentle, sweet, and even playful—eager for affection, deeply tuned in, and ready to connect on her terms. Her favorite way to relax and let her real self shine is a good round of fetch with a tennis ball; she lights up and stays fully engaged until she’s good and tired. Zoe isn’t the type to dive in headfirst—she needs time, patience, and slow introductions to people and new things. Once she’s comfortable, there’s a loyal, affectionate companion underneath her alertness. She’d thrive best as the only dog in a calm home with adults or teens 12 and up, where she can settle into a routine and be her person’s one and only. Zoe hasn’t lived with cats, and she isn’t house trained yet. If you’re looking for a deeply rewarding bond and have the patience for a cautious, loving soul, Zoe’s ready to give her trust to someone who moves at her pace. Born March 7, 2023, Zoe is a Pisces—sensitive, wise, and quietly loyal. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
