Story
Zoey is an energetic and lovable dog looking for an experienced adopter! She is approximately five years old, fully house trained, and can obey commands. She is a sweetheart but very anxious, and takes medication daily to help with the anxiety. Zoey loves people, but is timid and afraid around other dogs. Zoey is comfortable being crated and sleeps in her crate at night. We love Zoey and are hoping to find an adopter that can give her the best possible care!
