rcise. She loves cuddling on the couch or is perfectly content relaxing in her crate. The terrier in her has some barking tendencies but she seems to adjust to city noises. She will sometimes bark at people on bikes as they probably look funny to her. She does seem toy & food possessive but there is room for growth beyond this behavior. We think she is partial to female humans but will warm up to males when she gets to walk up and meet them. She is crate trained and loves a squeaky ball over rope. Overall she is a loving and happy dog that wants a forever home that is open to getting to know Zoey and her quirks. Zoey would do best in an adult-only home with owners who can read her behavior signals. She has been friendly with meeting other dogs unless they challenge her energy level and Zoey can hold her own in friendly wrestling match. Name: Zoey Location: Northeast Adoption Center (All our dogs meets are by appointment only - please call ahead.) Breed: Terrier mix (Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label) Age: 6-10 years old Weight: 13 pounds Reason for surrender to shelter: Zoey's owner surrendered her because she could not train her properly. If you are interested in meeting Zoey, please email dogs@phillypaws.org for an application. If you have questions, please email the above address or contact our adoption staff at 215-298-9680, ext. 16.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
