If teddy bears could turn into puppies, they'd probably look a lot like Zoie! Part of an adorable litter of eight German Shepherd mixes, Zoie 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! One look from Zoie and you'll find yourself handing over extra treats, extra toys, and probably half your side of the couch. 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 alongside the rest of the litter, and then settling down for a well-earned nap once the excitement is over. Like many growing puppies, she has mastered the art of balancing playtime with plenty of beauty sleep. 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. 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. Having canine role models around has helped her continue learning important social skills and puppy manners.
Ideal Home
Zoie would thrive in a family home where she can continue to learn and grow.
Ongoing Health
Zoie is healthy and ready for her new home. All vetting is up to date, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccine. She has also received multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, flea prevention, and a 12-month injectable heartworm preventative. She has tested negative for heartworm.
Training & Support
Zoie is thriving on a structured routine that includes meals, regular play sessions, crate time, potty training practice, and naps. Crate training and pee pad training are both progressing wonderfully, and she continues to learn and build confidence with consistency and guidance. Like all puppies, Zoie will need continued patience, training, and guidance as she grows.
