DESCRIPTION
Zoey is a 5-year-old Shih-Tzu/Terrier mix. She is a social and sweet little girl. Zoey loves attention and seems to like the company of everyone. A house with adults and/or dog savvy kids ages eight and up would be fine for her. Zoey does well with other dogs and enjoys a game of chase with them in the yard, but does not like rough and tumble play. She also seems to do well with confident cats. She would probably not do well with smaller critters (guinea pigs, birds) as she wants to chase them. Zoey walks well on a leash and her potty training is going very well. She has some very endearing traits including smiling when she is happy and when she wants attention (seriously… she smiles) and she will watch the television and is very curious when she hears/sees a dog on the TV. Zoey is a little energetic during car rides (wanting to look out ALL the car windows) so a safety harness or crate would be best during car travel. She can be a bit vocal so apartment life would probably not be a good fit for her. While a home with a fenced yard would be wonderful, it is not a requirement as long as she gets regular walks and exercise. Zoey is spayed, had a dental, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heart worm preventative, and microchipped. Zoey’s adoption fee is $350.00
