Meet Zoe | Rehome With Love Pet Adoption

Meet Zoe, an affectionate and dainty eight-and-a-half-year-old Yorkshire Terrier from Fallsburg, NY, whose tiny 5-pound frame is packed with personality! This sweet girl is looking for a calm and loving home where she can be pampered, cuddled, and showered with attention.

Zoe’s favorite place to be? Right next to you! She’s a little shadow who adores curling up against her favorite humans, enjoying gentle brushing sessions, and playing with small dog ropes. She’s a true lap dog, happiest when she’s snuggled close, making her an ideal companion for someone looking for a devoted little sidekick.

Though she gets along well with other dogs, Zoe is more inclined to bond with women and can be shy or avoidant around men and small children. She thrives in a peaceful environment with a patient caregiver who understands the needs of small-breed dogs. Since she’s used to a mix of indoor and outdoor potty routines, she may need a bit of patience and consistency to help her settle into a new home. Since the addition of a baby in her current family, she started having accidents in the home but there were no issues prior.

Zoe is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations! She does well when left alone for short periods but would love a home where she gets plenty of companionship. She occasionally experiences a slight limp in the morning and has a habit of walking in small circles, but this hasn’t stopped her from being an affectionate and loving companion.

Her ideal home would be with someone experienced with small dogs, preferably in a quiet setting where she can feel safe and secure. A fenced yard would be a bonus for her outdoor time in warmer months.

If you’re looking for a tiny, loyal companion who loves to cuddle and be close, Zoe may be the perfect fit for you! Could you be her next loving home?
