My story

　　Life’s a hoot with Zoot! Hi pals! My name is Zoot. I’m a happy-go-lucky gal with a heart of gold. I’m a 2.5-year-old, 45-pound terrier mix. I was initially rescued from Mexico in 2021 and adopted into a loving home. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen hardships (unrelated to me), I need to find a new furever family. I’ve proven myself as a good girl and I hope I can start a new chapter with you! Whether it’s paddle boarding, going to the Coronado dog beach, or a trip up to the snow—I’m up for the adventure! I’m a friendly girl who loves playing with other pooches at doggy daycare or at the park. When I’m not greeting everyone, I like chasing after balls and sticks. Sometimes sticks can scare me and I put my tail down, probably due to some past trauma in Mexico. I’m a big fan of all people, kids too! I like chasing after cats and bunnies, so we probably wouldn’t make the best roommates. If I’m not exploring out in public, I like running laps in the yard, going for a swim, and taking good old fashion walks. Even though I’m an active girl, I also adore cuddling with my people. I can be quite the couch potato! I’m happiest whenever I’m with my humans. I’m a well-behaved gal who never has accidents in the house. I can hold it for quite some time if needed.  I have a bark that can scare off intruders, but once I know it’s a friend, I’ll greet them with a wagging tail. I’m a great protector! I do well on the leash and walk with a harness in case I get distracted by a bunny. I can be in the crate for a little while and sometimes I just use it as a place to nap. I am not a fan of sharing my food (honestly, who is?!) so if I’m in a home with another dog, it’s best if we’re fed separately. I’m a good girl who listens to commands and can’t wait to keep learning from you! I would love to be in a home with an active person or family to share adventures with. I think I would do well with another playful pooch or plenty of trips to the dog park! I promise to always be your loyal loving girl in return. I’m the most deserving pooch and would love a second chance at a furever home with you! My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
