Zoey was adopted from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria nearly a decade ago.  Since her adoption, she was cherished by her family.  Her mom, a professional photographer, was happy for Zoey’s gorgeous visage to grace many photo shoots, and good-natured Zoey was always a willing participant.

Three years ago, Zoey was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, and while she may have lost a leg, she did not lose her beautiful spirit.  She is a fighter who enjoyed every minute she got to spend with her family.

There was no question that Zoey would enter the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria’s annual photo calendar contest.  Her story and her captivating photo got the attention of the Alexandria community, who voted Zoey to be our 2018 calendar cover model and Alexandria Animal of the Year.

It is with great sadness that we share that Zoey has crossed the rainbow bridge, but we are honored to have this amazing girl grace the cover of our 2018 calendar and continue to remind us of her beautiful spirit, her fortitude and the love she found wherever she went.

You can see some of Zoey’s calendar photos at the AMC Hoffman Center 22, where a congratulatory video is running before every movie through the end of August.

Calendars will be available this fall with Zoey on the cover!
