My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Do you like the Beatles? Would you like a constant reminder of one of their most famous songs? Meet Jude, the charming senior dog who came to Zoe's by way of ACCT Philly after his previous owner passed away. At 14 years old, Jude is a Pomeranian mix, tipping the scales at around 24 pounds, with a mission to shed a few pounds in the loving care of his new family.

Jude needs time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he is very loyal and loving. Jude does not come across as a 14 yeat old dog. He loves to roll on his back in the grass and play, followed by lots of nap time. Jude needs eye drops 4 times a day for dry eye. Even though he was not a big fan of the process at first, now he waits by the treat bag for the drops. (Did I mention treats!) Jude is very motivated by treats and can be trained to do most anything if treats are involved. He will require the eye drops for his lifetime.

Jude does try to, shall we say, control some of his environment, but also can't resist a treat. His foster mom thinks that this leads to the most hilarious times, and he keeps her laughing. An ideal home for Jude is one that is dog savy enough to be consistent in dealing with his attitude and love him for the exceptional dog that he is. Jude's personality is as infectious as his ever-present smile.

Jude is crate-trained (loves his crate), housebroken, and walks well on a leash. Jude did have some teeth pulled after a dental cleaning, but he eats dry dog food just fine. He gets along well with other dogs.

He has a clean bill of health, is neutered, microchipped, and UTD on vaccines.

More about this rescue

Who We Are:
Zoe's House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare group based out of Sinking Spring,PA. We are comprised solely of volunteers that generously volunteer their time, their homes and their hearts. We are dedicated to rescuing homeless, neglected or abandoned animals from high kill shelters or from owners who can no longer care for them. We provide the animals with loving foster care, veterinary treatment and rehabilitation until we are able to pair them with compatible and loving forever homes. At times we also offer permanent sanctuary to those with special or medical needs and that are considered unadoptable.

Zoe's House serves as a resource to our community and to our adopters by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, the importance of spay/neuter, behavior training, nutrition, puppy mill awareness, heartworm preventative and breed education. Our organization also networks with other shelters and rescues. We try to assist other organizations when possible.

Zoe’s House is not federally funded, and relies solely on donations to continue to rescue. Although we are not breed specific, the need to save Dobermans, Rottweilers, German Shepherds and Pitbulls is ever growing; therefore, we have focused primarily on saving the lives of our beloved and majestic strong breeds.

What We do:
There are many people involved in the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of each dog we take in. Our rescue effort starts with the initial intake request for a dog. Whether this be at a shelter of from an individual in the community, we try to gather as much information as we can. We then pickup or transport the dog to safety in rescue. At this time we administer immediate veterinary care to determine the health of the dog and ensure the animal has proper immunizations. We also have bloodwork done for a heartworm check, lyme, fecal and sometimes a blood panel depending on the age and health of the dog. The dog remains in "in-home" foster care and becomes a part of the fosters family for an undefined period of time. We evaluate the dog and work on basic manners and obedience. At times we have dogs for a longer duration due to health and/or age. The dogs in our care come with us to adoption events, home screenings, and ultimately permanent placement. Zoe's House then provides post-adoption follow-up and support and welcomes the new family to the "Zoe's House Family!" We strive to stay in close contact with all of our adopters to ensure the transition and life long relationship continues to be magical. We remain dedicated to the principal that we never want one of our rescues to end up in a shelter or in a home that does not provide a responsible and loving environment for the life of the animal.

We truly believe that one dog at a time... we are making a difference!
