My story

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



Hi!! I'm Gloria, the sweetest female Bernese Mountain Dog. I was tied out at the local humane society by a farmer and left there and Zoe's House took me in because I wasn't doing good in a shelter environment. I'm about 110 pounds and they say I'm 8 years old but my foster mom says I seem younger!

I'm loving my new foster home. I get along with all the other animals (cats,dogs and guinea pig too), but I require slow introductions at my own pace. Also dogs that understand clear boundaries. I would do great as an only dog! (No dog parks or face to face meets for me).

My foster mom sometimes calls me a velcro dog cause I like to be by her side (especially at dinner time). I do take some time to trust as I wasn't treated very nicely for most of my life. When I first came to foster I would cry at human touch. I have not ventured into the second level of my foster home as I prefer to stay close to my crate.

I am housebroken and understand rules well. I listen when my foster mom says no but I don't really break any rules except trying to steal food . I will happily go in my crate and I love to have that safe space but my foster mom says since I'm a good girl so I can go wherever I want in the house. I didn't grow up with any toys so I don't really understand what they are. My love language is treats and meal time! I even have a cute food dance.

I'm a very low energy dog. My foster family has a fenced in yard so I like to walk around and explore when it's outside time but I usually go back to lay on the porch. I don't really require long walks. But I walk very well on a leash.

I can't wait to meet my forever family!! My foster mom already says I'm going to be really really hard to say goodbye to because they love me so much. As I have come a long way in foster.

- Gloria has a clean bill of health and is spayed and UTD on her vaccines. She also had a dental.

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!
