Story
Meet Zoey! Zoey is approximately 7 1/2 years old and is said to be a Labrador Retriever/Poodle mix.
Unfortunately, Zoey was removed from a home after being kept in unlivable conditions and not able to be outside for activity, nor had she ever been groomed. Because of this, we're hoping to find her a family who can show her just how wonderful life can be!
Zoey was severely matted and needed immediate grooming. Luckily, we had a groomer on stand-by who spent almost 6 hours making sure Zoey was no longer uncomfortable or in pain. Her feet were matted over, her hind end was matted over, forcing urine and feces to stay impacted near her skin, and her entire body needed to be shaved down. We cannot stress this enough: These dogs need REGULAR professional grooming, at least every 6-8 weeks, to ensure their health and wellbeing! Please do not consider adopting Zoey unless you know you are able to provide this for her financially.
None of this mistreatment or neglect has stopped Zoey from LOVING people. She's an absolute sweetheart who loves everyone she meets. She is one of our frequent 'office dogs' who gets to come up and hang out with the office staff during the workday. She just loves hanging out around people!
Zoey has a nice moderate energy level, meaning she would very much love to be included in your daily walking, or even a hiking adventure, but doesn't necessarily need to run a marathon.
Zoey is great at keeping her kennel clean, so we think she'll pick up on the new potty training schedule with consistency and patience. She has met several dogs whom she has loved, but has been seemingly afraid of some other dogs who are more assertive with her, so it may just depend on what kind of personality another dog has in her new home. She should also do well around children as long as everyone is properly introduced and supervised.
Zoey is definitely deserving of the most loving family - if you think that might be you, please follow the link below! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been generally approved:
