My story

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

Hey there! I'm Darby. I bet you can't guess what kind of dog I am... go ahead and give it a try.... I am 4 a year old female English Bulldog/ Poodle! I came to Zoe's House from a commercial breeder where I was bred for my puppies. This was my whole life. I was a very scared when I came to my foster home. I wasn't used to kindness but the lady there was so nice and nurturing that I started coming out of my shell. I have come to enjoy being petted and am excited when the lady comes home. I wag my tail and wiggle until she comes over and pets me. I even give her kisses.

I am looking for my forever home. I sleep in my crate. I know to go to it for dinner time and bedtime. I'm doing good with housebreaking. I sometimes have an accident but I am working hard on this. I need someone who will be patient with me as I continue to grow and overcome my past. I don't play much but like laying on the sofa. I get along with the other dogs in my foster and I am learning from them that life can be good.

I am up to date on vaccines and spayed already. I am crate trained and don't have accidents in my crate. I

I require a home with another calm dog please. I am not sure about young kids. I don't like loud noise or sudden movements because they startle me and make me scared. Older kids 13 and older who can respect that I need patience would be really good for me. A small fenced yard is best since I don't walk on a leash yet.

I'm being fostered in Schuylkill County so any potential adopters will have to travel to meet him. If you think that you can give Darby the love and patience that she needs to continue growing, please apply at https://www.zoeshouserescue.com/adopt.

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!
