Yes! 12+ (I’m scared of quick movements) **Zoë has lots of application, hard to believe right? Please hold off for a couple of weeks to apply. Thanks!** Zoë I’m an adorable, joyful, playful but shy little pup looking for a loving home with another dog! History I came from a situation where the people weren’t very nice to me. And while I am absolutely loving learning now that people can be amazingly sweet and kind, I am still quite cautious and will cower or run and hide when humans move too quickly or reach for me (especially over my head). If people let me take my time, watch them from a safe distance, and then come to them when I’m ready, I feel much happier and safer, and…
