Zoya came to us from a backyard breeding operation of Mioritic Shepherds that was shut down several years ago. She was returned after 6 years of being in a home at no fault of her own. Zoya is a gentle giant with a heart of gold. She is cautious and sensitive, and many things in the world feel a little scary to her. She needs an adopter who is calm and confident, someone who can take the lead when situations feel overwhelming and help her navigate life with reassurance and patience. With the right guidance and a consistent routine, Zoya truly blossoms. Once she feels comfortable and trusts…
If Zoya isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
A few things we'd have ready before bringing Zoya home, matched to their size and age.
