My story

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

Meet Little Miss Kiwi!!!

Kiwi is a 6 month old Boston terrier that was surrendered to Zoe's House due to a leg deformity. Both of her front legs are affected by angular, limb disorder (ALD) but it doesn't slow this little girl down at all.

She is the sweetest girl with just the right amount of sass. Kiwi has learned to overcome obstacles with how she gets around. As she has grown she has adapted and learned new ways to walk. She can get up an entire flight of stairs in the blink of an eye, unfortunately she can't get back down.

Kiwi is being fostered with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats. She loves playing with the other dogs. She especially loves the pitbull in her foster home. She will snuggle with her and suckle on her ears, it's so cute and slimy all at the same time.

Kiwi is used to be in a play yard when she needs to be left home alone and does well. She is still working on her potty training but has been doing amazing. She recently received a wheelchair and we spent the first few weeks just getting her used to it. She is now learning how to move about, she likes that lots of treats are involved.

The ideal home for this sweet little girl would be mainly a single story home with an open floor plan to give her lots of room to use her wheels. Another dog friendly pup is definitely needed for her, she loves having a playmate and someone to learn from. Someone who is home more than not would also be ideal to help her learn and maneuver about.

Kiwi is UTD on vaccinations and on preventatives. She is not altered and will be adopted out with a spay contract to be altered when she turns one. This does come with a 250 dollar fee that is fully refundable once proof of spay is provided. She is in a temporary wheelchair at this time. The chair is made for quad dogs. She will need a new wheelchair when she is done growing that is just for her front legs. The quad chair is adjustable and is teaching her how to walk and get used to being in wheels. Her foster family will happily answer any questions about her condition and her chair.

If you think Kiwi would make the perfect addition to your family apply on our website. Kiwi is being fostered in Berks county and all potential adopters will need to be willing to come to this area to meet her along with any current residential dogs.

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!
