My story

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

Piper is a adorable 6-year-old maltese/shih tzu mix. She may be petite at 12 lbs, but she packs a lot of personality in her tiny frame!
Are you looking for a great napping and cuddling companion? There's nothing she loves more than spending time with her person, although car trips are a close second!
It took her a few days to get used to living the good life, but she's been inseparable from her foster mom ever since.

She is low energy, and enjoys taking short, slow walks, stopping often to smell the flowers.
Piper enjoys spending time with other dogs her own age, but would also be happy to be your one and only. She is still scared of most men, but adores her foster mom's dad.
She loves the children in the house, and would enjoy living in a home with respectful children over the age of 8. You might have noticed that she only has one eye, which gives her a distinctive look, like she's giving you a wink!

Piper will intermittently complain when her foster mom leaves the house and she is left alone, so an apartment or attached house probably wouldn't be best.

Piper has been cat tested. After a slow introduction, she does well with cats and enjoys watching squirrels with them. While she is housetrained, she does not 'ask' to go out to go potty, so relies on a regular schedule to avoid having accidents in the house, and regression is expected when transitioning households. Piper has been spayed, received a dental with some extractions, and has been microchipped and vaccinated. She is currently on flea tick and heartworm prevention. Her adoption donation fee is $400.

Piper is being fostered in Wyomissing, PA, so any approved applicants will need to travel to meet her before adoption.

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!
