Zoe is looking for her forever home because her owner can no longer care for her. She is a sweet girl and is desperate need of a loving home! Here is what her owner had to say about her:

Zoe is a spunky, happy dog full of energy.  She isn't much for cuddling, but loves to be the center of attention.  Zoe will "smile" at you when she's happy... sometimes even on command.  It is the cutest thing!  She loves playing tug of war and will play with anyone willing to pick up the other end of the rope. She will sit and shake.  Zoe loves having her belly rubbed.  She is house broken and crate trained.  With a house of four dogs, I've come to realize she wants to be alpha dog and can come across as a bully sometimes with the other dogs.  I think she would benefit greatly being in a home where she can be "top" dog.

***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
