Zoe

We are very sad to announce that our 2021 Alumna, Zoe, has passed away.  Her family, the Hamptons, sent us this beautiful tribute to her… 
“We are saddened to share that our sweet Zoe quietly passed over the rainbow bridge on January 21st, 2025. Zoe came to the SEGSP rescue in 2021 via a kind Samaritan who found her advertised as a “submissive” dog. We suspect she would have ended up a bait dog for dog fighting if our good Samaritan had not stepped in. The SEGSP asked us to foster her until she found her forever home, but it became apparent after a few days that she found it with us. Her soulful eyes and gentle nature made her a foster fail and we are grateful every day she joined our pack.
 
Zoe bloomed into a loving family member, often accompanied us to the local coffee shop, Saturday morning hikes and shopping trips. She was my shadow. Although she never liked thunderstorms, she loved car rides, stuffed toys, playing with her siblings Jagger and Lexie, and at 75 pounds, thought she was a lap dog! She was an excellent hole digger, possum spotter and rabbit hunter.​

Zoe began to have seizures over the past year, and we knew her time with us was limited. The last few weeks of her life were spent laying in the sun and having special homemade dog food. On the night she passed; her human brother Lucas stayed by her side into the wee hours of the morning. We know she did not want to leave us or cause us any pain. Her love for us allowed her to slip her earthly bonds just after Lucas went to bed and cross the rainbow bridge.

She left a dog shaped hole in our daily lives but the same size memories in our hearts
forever.”
