My story

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

Are you a fan of HoTD? Do you love strong female characters? Mastiff type mixes?

How do you feel about a big smooch just after a moose sized dog takes a drink of water?

Still with me?

Baela is a 100 pound bundle of joy, energy and, love. She sees the world as full of fun and adventures. She loves to play fetch, tug and have a good old fashioned wrestling match. She doesn't care if it's with a human or with another playful pup. She is very intense when she plays though, I mean - why do anything halfway, right?! So any potential dogs in her new family will need to be able to match her WWE play style without getting upset.

We don't know her full story but she was found as an emaciated stray in Philadelphia. Her foster mom took one look and knew she needed to become a part of the Zoe's House family.

She needed a bit of medical attention and surgeries, 3 weeks of quarantine, quite a few baths, and a lot of dog food and peanut butter, but she has blossomed into a gorgeous girl full of love and happiness.

Her foster family feels that she will be best in a family with at least one other playful dog of a decent size. No small dogs, cats, chickens or small mammals though because she simply doesn't understand how big she is when she wants to play.

Her adoptive family will also be required to have experience with guardian breed dogs. Sorry, no exceptions here. Baela is an amazing dog and will make a beautiful addition to the right home. She has started training with her foster family and is learning good manners daily. But she is still young and has zero idea that she's not a small lap dog. She is very treat motivated and loves to be with her people. She is a quick student but she is also over 100 pounds so she needs a confident, strong human.

Baela is house broken, crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night. She is friendly with new people and dogs, while also being protective of her yard and home. She is currently living on a small urban farm in Philadelphia with a Frenchie, a pit bull mix two teenagers and some chickens.

Ideally, her adoptive family will have a big yard where she can romp and play.

Baela is UTD on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, on preventatives and ready for a family to call her own. If our big lover girl sounds like she'd be a great fit for your family, please apply only on our website, zoeshouserescue.com.

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!
