Meet Zoey, a sweet 1-year-old, 10-pound salt-and-pepper Miniature Schnauzer with a big personality! Zoey was surrendered by her family, but she’s ready to find a new home where she can truly shine. This affectionate little girl absolutely adores kids (even though her former owner’s child threw her off a bunkbed to another child breaking her leg. Her leg has healed now thankfully. No more tossing her around! Zoey does have a strong streak—she’s a resource guarder who prefers to keep her toys and food all to herself. Because of this, she needs an experienced dog owner who understands how to create a safe and balanced environment for everyone in the home. She’s both house and crate-trained and is thriving with her foster family, who have other pups and children. While she’s calm and cooperative at the vet, grooming can be a bit scary for her—those clippers make her nervous! With patience and gentle guidance, she’s learning to feel more comfortable. Zoey is looking for a confident, loving person who knows what it means to be the alpha in the home and can help her blossom into the best version of herself. If you think you’re the perfect match for this spirited sweetheart, be sure to ask for Zoey when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Her adoption fee is $400.
