Zoey Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Rat Terrier Mix Ridgway, CO

Zoey has found a foster but is still hoping to find her new forever family.

Zoey is an energetic, loving, and adventurous. She was surrendered due to illness in the family and she desperately wants a human to call her own again. She loves to run and play in the yard, and really enjoys the dog park. She has a spirited play style and will do well with another dog that is comfortable with that.

Zoey weights around 40 lbs. and is around 5 years old.

We often adopt same day as the first visit an interview but it is not guaranteed. Some dogs will take multiple visits and adopters are approved based on the best fit for the particular animal being considered. We do not hold pets during the process.

Most dogs who come from the shelter will not be house trained.

Most adoptable dogs will need some reintroduction into a home, potty training, basic manners and social skills. Please be prepared to provide that training and dedication that will be needed.

We do not have any way of knowing if a dog or cat will do well with all children or all other animals.

It is important everyone in the home is introduced to the new pet.
