Adopt: Zoey

A Gentle Soul Who Will Love You Unconditionally 🐾

📍 Woodburn, IN — Indiana | 🎂 5 years, 4 months | ⚖️ 87 lbs

Zoey is a timid, tender-hearted girl who wears her heart on her sleeve — or rather, on her tail, which is always wagging for the people she loves. She is gentle, sweet, and quietly devoted, and she follows her people around like the most loyal shadow you have ever had. She just needs time to feel safe enough to fully show it.

She is still working through her fears — sudden noises and unexpected movements can startle her, and new environments take time for her to settle into. But here is what her foster knows for certain: once Zoey finds her forever home and is given the months she needs to truly acclimate, she will come out of her shell and love her family with everything she has. That kind of loyalty is rare, and it is absolutely worth waiting for.

She does well with cats and may do okay with one other calm, gentle dog — though she would thrive just as happily as the one and only. Children are unknown, so a calm adult home or one with older, respectful kids would be the safest fit while she settles in.

Zoey would do best in a home that offers:

  • 🏡 A calm, quiet home with minimal chaos or sudden disruptions

  • 🐾 Only dog or one calm, gentle companion — she needs a low-key environment

  • 🐱 Cats welcome — she does well with them

  • 👶 Children unknown — a calm adult home preferred while she builds confidence

  • ⏳ Several months of patient adjustment time — she will get there, and it will be worth it

  • 💛 Someone who finds deep reward in earning a shy dog’s trust and watching her bloom

Zoey is not going to greet you at the door on day one. But give her time, give her kindness, and give her the quiet she needs — and one day she will be right by your side, tail wagging, wondering how she ever got so lucky. 💕
