About Zoe

Zoe’s journey hasn’t been easy. She came into rescue with both physical and emotional wounds, carrying the weight of a tough past.

Zoe is a survivor who needs someone patient, thoughtful, and willing to walk at her pace. If you can offer a slow approach, celebrating every step forward, Zoe will meet you with trust as it grows. Give her understanding and she’ll reward you with quiet affection. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, making her a gentle addition to a household looking to offer a second chance.
