If teddy bears could turn into puppies, they'd probably look a lot like Zoie! This adorable German Shepherd mix has the kind of face that stops people in their tracks. Between her soft black and tan coat, sweet teddy bear expression, and those impossibly soulful puppy-dog eyes, it's nearly impossible not to fall in love the moment you meet her! Zoie is a gentle, affectionate puppy with a playful side that shines when she's spending time with her siblings. She loves joining in on games, exploring, and then settling down for a well-earned nap. Zoie is a fantastic sleeper who settles in well at night and enjoys a predictable routine. Whether she's playing with her siblings, meeting visitors, or relaxing after a busy day, she approaches life with a sweet, gentle spirit that makes her a joy to be around. Like all puppies, Zoie will need continued patience, training, and guidance as she grows, but she already has all the ingredients to become an incredible companion – intelligence, sweetness, adaptability, and a heart full of love!
Ideal Home
Zoie has been exposed to children and does great with them, making her a wonderful candidate for a family home. She is comfortable around adults and has been living alongside an adult German Shepherd, with whom she does well.
Ongoing Health
Zoie is up-to-date on all vetting, which includes DAPP with booster, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines. She has also received multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments and flea prevention. She will be spayed, receive a 12-month heartworm preventative injectable, and will be tested for heartworm.
Training & Support
Zoie is thriving on a structured routine that includes meals, regular play sessions, crate time, potty training practice, and naps throughout the day. Crate training and pee pad training are both progressing wonderfully. Having canine role models around has helped her continue learning important social skills and puppy manners.
