ZOE - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Zoe is a recent owner surrender to Hope Animal Rescue of Iowa. She was surrendered due to a divorce. She is a little over 1-year-old, 44 lbs., and said to be a lab mix although she does like to have some Shepherd in her. Zoe is looking to be adopted by a loving, active, and full of life family to continue growing up with. Being just over a year old she has still plenty of puppy energy and enthusiasm in her. She’s looking for a family who will keep her active and playful. Zoe does great with other dogs and LOVES kids. Her current foster home keeps her busy with dogs, a toddler and infant, chickens, horses, and a barn kitty who only just tolerates Zoe and her active self. So, to say the least Zoe has exposure to a lot. She is working on walking on a leash and is improving daily. Consistent training will be the key to her success as a grown girl. Zoe is mostly potty trained but can have nervous accidents when in a new place. Zoe can be timid and reacts to loud noises when she’s in a new place and wants to hide so desensitization by exposing her to new things in a controlled manner and with a loving hand will be a must when adopted. Zoe is currently being kennel trained and is learning that is safe place to lay down when she gets tired. Overall, Zoe is a good girl without a mean bone in her body but still has plenty of puppy so she will need to continue her training while also getting plenty of love in her new adopted home If you are interested in meeting Zoe, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $250 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.
