My story

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

Meet Sweetie - yes, AGAIN!! Sweetie is a beautiful 8 1/2 month old, 16lb cavapoo puppy who came to us by way of ACCT Philly back in August. She was purchased on a well known Lancaster puppy site by a family in Philly who we assume had good intentions. Unfortunately, Sweetie was surrendered to ACCT with a broken tibia bone in her leg (that happened 3 days prior) and no explanation. We couldn't say no when ACCT reached out for help and thanks to our amazing village we were able to have her leg surgically repaired. Sweetie’s leg healed beautifully and she was adopted in early October and then returned in late November. Essentially, the family wasn’t prepared to handle the antics of a puppy.

Named Sweetie because she is exactly that. There's no better word to describe her. This little one's tail hasn't stopped wagging since the minute we met her. She is the sweetest little love.

Sweet Potato would fit well in most households. She's a social butterfly but a busy one and she’s great at entertaining herself. She would be great as an only child, or with a playful canine sibling, or an active family. She LOVES to run, run, run in her foster's fenced in yard. It’s literally her favorite thing to do so we are requiring a fenced in yard for her. We know this is upsetting to some, but Sweetie has been failed by her humans twice now, we’re not going to let that happen again. A fenced in yard is what’s best for Sweetie. We’re not willing to bend here.

Sweets had regressed slightly with housebreaking since returning to foster care. She’s back on track and has been doing great – although regression is common with a change of environment. Sweetie Pie walks well on a leash, has great recall, is crate trained, knows "sit”, "crate”, "stay”and is working on “leave it”. She is a very smart little girlie! Sweetie is attentive, treat motivated, very trainable and would absolutely THRIVE with continued training or agility. Girlfriend loves to use her brain!

Sweetie is UTD on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. She is living in Levittown, PA with 2 bichons and a big pittie and she gets along beautifully with all.

If Sweetie sounds like she'd be a great addition to your family and you're willing to love her for LIFE - please submit an application today. If you previously applied for Sweetie and would still like to be considered, please send us a message.

*Please note: A separate meet and greet with potential adopters and all resident pets is required prior to final approval.

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!
