Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Zoey and I am about 4-5 years old and weigh 5 lbs. Not sure what happened, but one day I ended up in the shelter and was terrified of everyone.
I am super sweet with my foster mom, but I am still learning to trust strangers. I will need someone that understands me and is willing to be very patient and work with me on building up my confidence and learning to trust.
I have just started playing with squeaky toys, and I love chewies and treats. I am housebroken, but you have to keep me on a regular schedule and carry me outside now that the weather is so cold, but I will also use piddle pads if they are down. I will need a fully fenced yard as I can be an escape artist and a runner!
I would do best with another small dog to help me trust and learn the routine. I love to burrow under blankets to sleep and keep warm.
If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet girl like me and you have experience with small insecure dogs, please email your application to slarl@yahoo.com
