Looking for a happy, easygoing, senior gal? Zoey is your woman. Zoey was surrendered by her heartbroken owners after they moved here from out of state and could not find a place to live. Once they did, they were unable to keep Zoey. She was a big part of their family since she was a puppy and was spoiled like a princess. Her lovely personality shows how well she was cared for and loved by them. She has lived with kids and is gentle with them. Zoey slept in bed and under the covers with her family. She likes to play with stuffed animals and any toys that squeak, although the stuffies may not last too long. Zoey does not mind seeing other dogs or even walking by them, but she prefers not to interact with them. She has been like this her whole life and so her new home will need to be one with no other animals. Zoey loves to give kisses and her tail does not stop wagging. She enjoys meeting new people and going for walks. At the end of the day, Zoey likes to wind down on the couch with a nice drink of water and a cookie. She will be a great companion for some very lucky family. Could that be you? If you would like more information about this sweetheart or you would like to set up an appointment to

Zoey is available for adoption through the Worcester Animal Rescue League.
