My story

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

"Looking for someone to be the new love of your life? Look no further! I am your girl! I like laps and snuggling, and sitting on the porch watching the birds and squirrels. I am a calm lady, not a rowdy puppy. I am about 4-5 years old.
When I came to the rescue I had a badly damaged eye from being attacked by another dog. I am now wary of other dogs and I take a long time to warm up to them. I could live with another dog if it is a calm companion who will not pester me. I am not reactive or aggressive, but I do avoid new dogs until I see that they know how to be polite. I have made good friends with other dogs in my foster home, it just took a little bit of time to warm up.
My eye needed to be removed to relieve the pain it caused me. I am feeling so much better now!
I am a gentle and sweet dog who likes all people. I am very tolerant and love to be held. I let my foster mom bathe me, brush me, and trim my nails - what lady doesn't love a good spa day? My foster mom says I am a really good girl."

Indigo is sweet and affectionate, and craves attention. She was surrendered to the rescue by a commercial breeder. She is a very good natured dog. She has met men, women, and children and was politely happy to greet all of them. Indigo definitely wants to be a lap dog, so someone who enjoys quality couch cuddle time is on this girl's Must Have list. She is learning to play with toys, but still isn't sure what she is supposed to do with them.

Indigo walks well on a leash. She is used to a fenced yard, but could adapt to leash walking for potty breaks. While Indigo is does not have accidents in her foster home, she is still newly house broken and her adoptive family should expect to continue teaching her to go potty outside. Accidents in the house are common in dogs who have just been adopted.

Indigo is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been treated with monthly parasite preventatives. She is being fostered in southern Lancaster county PA and prospective families must be willing to come to her foster home twice. Once to meet her with all members of the family, including resident dogs, and once more to take her home.

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!
