October's Dog of the Month: Zoey

Zoey is our first ever dog of the month!

When Zoey first came to PetU just over a month ago, she was skittish, terrible with strangers, and experiencing separation anxiety. She started doing one-on-one sessions with Dennis, and after a few weeks started attending daycare. Her progress was slow, but steady.

A few weeks after starting daycare, she had a breakthrough. I was crouching down petting another dog, and Zoey launched herself at me, trying to cuddle and lick my face. Then, as if realizing what she had just done, she retreated a little ways. But her tail was wagging.

Since then, she has had more little breakthroughs. It is really special to watch her come out of her shell. Zoey is representative of exactly what we strive for at PetU, and we couldn’t think of a better dog to kick off our Dog of the Month!
