Zoey's Second Chance

Welcome everyone! Zoey Rey is our special needs Border Collie mix, and I hope that by sharing her story, I can help other people with special needs dogs, as well as people thinking about getting another pet, and might be uncertain about whether to take on a special needs animal. She is the sweetest and most resilient dog I've ever met, and even though she's not the dog we were looking for at the time, she is absolutely the dog we are supposed to have! I hope her story serves as an inspiration for you and other pet owners.

Zoey's previous owners accidentally ran over her when she was 3-months-old, and it broke both the right side of her pelvis and her left femur. As a result, she has needed multiple surgeries to repair her left back leg. We named her Zoey Rey because Zoe means life in Greek, and she got a second chance at life. Also Rey from Star Wars also had a rough start to life and got a second chance, and we wanted a name that represented a second chance at life.
