My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Fill out an Adoption Application



Zoey (fka Ruckus) came back to MTM after being adopted several years ago and her adopter recently passed away. 
 
She is doing great in her foster home living with a toddler, 2 young kids and dogs of all sizes.
 
Zoey did take a bit to adjust. She is shy at first meeting, but once she settles in, she seeks attention and thrives off of routine. So if interested in meeting her, please understand, she does not show well, but given some time and patience, she will come around and show great affection. 
 
She has begun to engage the other dogs in play and loves to spend time outside in the yard. She does well being left alone with the other dogs, with no concern of messes or destructive behavior.  
 
She does pull on the leash and will need some help with that, but that too needs to be made part of her routine. Zoey is a low to medium energy dog and is content to just hang out. She will pick a favorite bed and that becomes her spot. 
 
Zoey does well riding in the car, was well behaved at the vets office and doesn't mind a nail trim as long as shes being scratched at the same time.
 
She is potty trained and will go to the door or even come wake you if she needs to go out. 
 
Zoey has been fully updated on vaccines and received a dental. She is ready for a new family!

    • If you are renting, and you are applying to adopt a dog that is not a giant breed, permission to adopt an animal must be obtained from the landlord or property owner.

  • We do not adopt giant breed dogs to homes with children under 6 years of age.

    • Homes with children should have a fenced yard.

  • Applications will be denied if anyone residing in the household has a record indicating drug/alcohol abuse, theft, or violence.
