My story

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


Meet Zoe (a.k.a. Bair), your Oversized Lap Dog Extraordinaire

Looking for a loyal shadow who doubles as a space heater? Meet Zoe! The shelter calls her Bair, but she prefers Zoe—because even dogs know branding matters.

At 125 pounds, Zoe has mastered the art of pretending she’s a lap dog. If you’ve ever dreamed of being crushed lovingly while watching TV, she’s your gal. She’ll follow you everywhere—yes, even to the bathroom. Privacy? Overrated.

Why Zoe is Basically Perfect:

• Best in a home with no children under 16 years old
• Leash manners: She’s surprisingly chill on walks, despite her linebacker size.
• Couch potato vibes: She would love to sleep on your bed and hog the couch, but she’s learning boundaries shockingly well.
• Designer Dog naturally: She’s a boutique breed, like a finely crafted cocktail. We think she’s a blend of cane corso, Great Dane, and pit bull.
• Zoe needs to be the only dog in the home due to food-reactivity with other pups, but with humans she’s all love.


Bonus Features:

• Knows her basics: Sit, down, stay—she’s got the classics covered.
• Even keel temperament: She’s calm, steady, and clearly came from a loving home.
• Built-in winter warmer: Forget blankets, Zoe is 125 pounds of snuggly insulation.
• Cherry eye? No worries—ACC will fix it when she’s spayed. Consider it a minor cosmetic quirk, like a beauty mark.

Zoe is the full package: loyal, affectionate, and ready to be your best friend (and personal bodyguard). If you’re looking for a dog who will love you unconditionally, keep you warm, and occasionally flatten you with affection, Zoe is waiting to meet you.
