Hi, I’m Zoey – and I’m proof that even the hardest beginnings can lead to beautiful new chapters. I’m about 6 years old, and I’ve already lived through more than most dogs ever should. When I was rescued, I was nearly hairless, painfully itchy, and extremely underweight from long-term neglect and untreated skin infections. I was uncomfortable all the time, and honestly, I had forgotten what it felt like to just be a happy dog.
But then everything changed.
With lots of love and care, I began to heal, inside and out. My skin is getting healthier by the day, my fur is growing back soft and shiny, and I feel better than I ever have. I’m finally gaining weight and discovering just how wonderful life can be when you’re safe, loved, and given the proper medical care.
Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m still one of the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet. I LOVE people AND dogs alike! I’ll wag my tail for anyone who walks by. Although I love to play with other dogs, I can also give dogs space when they need it. Walks and naps are my favorite things in the world (don’t make me pick between them!), and I’m already housebroken, great on a leash, and don’t need a crate. I’m just an easygoing girl who wants to be close to her humans.
Now, I’m ready for my forever family. I dream of a home where I’ll be cherished and never have to worry about being neglected again. I’ll need a family who will continue to keep me healthy. I still have about 5-10# to gain and my lush fur is not quite done growing, so I will need some extra attention until I am back to my best! In return, I promise to give you so much love, joy, and gratitude – every single day.
If you’re looking for a survivor, who still LOVES life, I’m your girl. 💛
