A volunteer writes: Any dog who rolls over for a belly rub while in medical getting attention from vet staff while waiting for her rabies vaccination is a rock star in my book!! I mean seriously – how adorable is that!  I should have known everyone would love her as she’s such a smiling wiggle butt you can’t help but fall in love. Well groomed and beyond adorable Zoe hopped out of her kennel ready for a walk and the chance to go potty.  And go potty she did, confirming that she’s housetrained as advised by her former person. Zoe was surrendered to our care for being “too active” but I found her completely appropriate for her age – fun, friendly, lively and affectionate – happy to make new friends, chase a tennis ball and roll in for some petting.   She’s lived with children between the ages of 5 and 16yo, doesn’t guard her things, likes to be bathed and brushed and her favorite activity is fetch.   Her leash manners are good, although we’re told she can pull on her leash when she gets excited.    How cute is that!!!  In her first group Zoe engaged in boisterous play with a male dog jumping over him to solicit play. Friendly and fun, cute as a little bean, Zoe cordially invites you to stop by and meet her today.
