About Zoey

Zoey is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix with boundless energy and a big, affectionate personality. She’s the type of dog who greets everyone with a wagging tail and a hug—sometimes literally, as she still jumps up a bit when excited. Her foster family is working with her to keep her paws on the ground, but her enthusiasm is all love. Play is Zoey’s favorite thing in the world, especially when it involves herding her foster siblings around the yard. She can get a bit nippy during play, so she’d do best with a playful, energetic dog companion who isn’t fazed by roughhousing. Zoey loves kids and hasn’t shown aggression toward people or dogs. She’s house trained, crate trained, and learning leash manners. She thrives in an active household with someone willing to keep up with her busy, fun-loving spirit. Zoey is looking for a family who’ll pour their energy into adventures, continued training, and plenty of love. Ready to add a loyal, playful partner to your life? Zoey’s waiting for you.
