PUPDATE: Adopted!

Meet Zoe 💛 I’m a sensitive soul looking for a very special person who understands that the big, wide world can feel a little overwhelming sometimes. I may be shy when we first meet, but once I know I’m safe with you, I’ll become your most loyal companion, happily following you from room to room just to be close. I’m what you might call a selective snuggler. I don’t give my heart away right away, but once we’ve built trust, I absolutely adore gentle pets, belly rubs, and spending quiet time with my favorite person. I enjoy getting outside for walks, especially peaceful “sniffari” adventures where I can explore at my own pace. I don’t have endless energy, though, so shorter outings suit me best. Because new people, unfamiliar dogs, and busy environments can be a little scary, I sometimes bark to ask for space. I’m looking for a calm, patient family that will let me build confidence at my own speed and celebrate the little victories along the way. I’m also still working on my potty training, so I’ll need a family committed to using gentle, positive reinforcement to help me learn while keeping me feeling safe and supported. I may be a work in progress, but if you’re willing to give me the time and understanding I need, I’ll reward you with a lifetime of quiet devotion, unwavering loyalty, and a heart that’s truly yours. Could you be the one to show me that the world isn’t so scary after all?
