About Zoe

Meet Zoe, the quiet little lady who knows exactly what she wants. She may not crave the spotlight, but her calm, gentle nature is sure to win your heart. At nearly 13 years old, Zoe enjoys life’s simple pleasures—a leisurely stroll, a cozy place to nap, and some quality cuddle time. This sweet girl even transforms into a tiny dancer when it’s time for dinner, prancing about joyfully. Zoe loves peaceful walks, lounging on laps, and relaxing at home. Her easygoing personality means she's independent enough to enjoy some time alone, yet she knows how to ask for affection with a soft little bark. She communicates when it's time for a potty break as well. She’s fully house trained and has good leash manners, though she isn't crate trained—so her new home should have management in place for that. While Zoe can happily coexist with other dogs and cats, she prefers calm companions who respect her space—no wrestling matches please! She's been gentle with children too, making her a wonderful fit for a family that respects her gentle disposition. In her ideal world, Zoe would thrive in a quiet, loving home where she can settle in, cuddle up, and be part of the family. This gentle, uncomplicated dog doesn’t ask for much, just a warm place to rest and people who appreciate her sweet nature. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
