Help Zoey find a forever home
Zoey's human passed away with no known next of kin and the police who responded said we could either take her and find a home for her or she'd go to the shelter and likely get euthanized. We're in Hayward and have partnered with a local foster agency that posted her on Petfinder and I've put her on several Facebook adoption groups but no luck. I'm hoping someone in or near Hayward might want this enthusiastically friendly bundle of energy.
She's 34 lbs, around 4 years old, and likely some kind of terrier mix- DNA results should be available in the next week or so. Would probably do best as an only pet and while I've never seen her be aggressive toward humans in the several months we've had her, her energy level might be intimidating for younger kids. She'd excel as someone's running buddy, agility dog, or helper on a farm or ranch. Photos are from a nine mile hike on national forest land where dogs can be off leash under voice control and aside from having to scoop her up to get her out of the way of a mule train, she did really well! Spayed and up to date on shots. We aren't set up to have a third dog in the house but I couldn't stand the thought of such a sweetheart risking euthanasia. She understands basic commands but needs someone with more time to work with her than I have. She will love the heck out of whoever takes her in, so please help me find someone who wants an attentive little shadow like Zoey!
