My story

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

Introducing...Miss Adonia!

Addie, as she is affectionately called in her foster home, is a 6-years young lady in the prime of life who maintains a peppy step and a "let's enjoy the day" attitude. Addie was pulled from a local shelter partner when her foster mom saw a video of her sitting in her kennel, quietly observing the loud noises of the shelter with a bewildered look on her face. It was no place for this sweet soul.

In her foster home, Addie has been living with both female and male dogs and has been a friend to everyone. She has not been cat tested, but she does find them interesting from a distance, so she is probably best in a canine only home.

Addie's list of things she hopes for in her forever home (with foster mom's notes):

- Addie loves people, and is welcoming to both men and women. Her foster parents do not have human children so she has only met a few, but did well with them. She has not shown any resource guarding or grouchiness, and take surprises and new situations in stride, so a home with children (age 6 and up for sturdiness sake) is a definite possibility. She does like to give kisses!

- Someone who enjoys a daily stroll at a moderate pace. (One longer walk, or a couple shorter walks are generally good to fulfill her daily exercise needs. She walks nicely on leash and has the cutest Tigger-bounce when she is happy. She is not the dog for you if you like to run long distance).

- A cozy spot to nap. (During the day, Addie rests in crate while her foster parents are at work. She is totally fine with this and spends the time catching zzzz's. She is not a couch creeper either. She actually seems to prefer the floor or her bed, though if invited, she would definitely love to snuggle on the couch with her person. When given free-roaming time in the house, she prefers to lay near where the people are and chill. She appreciates attention, but doesn't need or constantly demand it).

- Snacks. (Addie has shown that she is praise-motivated when training and she has a biddable nature, but snacks always sweeten up the deal).

In short, Adonia is a mild-mannered and level-headed sweetheart who enjoys the simple things in life. She is looking for someone who will appreciate her soft snores when she is in the midst of a solid nap, and enjoy a late afternoon walk with her.

Addie is spayed, micro-chipped, up-to-date on her vaccines, and is on flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. She is crate-trained and housebroken (although regression is common with a change of environment).

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!
