My story

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

Hi, I'm Dax and I am a 5 month old male Bichon. I came to Zoe's House from a commercial breeder when I became too old to sell. I am very playful but I am still a bit nervous when the foster people try to pet me. I want attention and love. I just am not used to it yet. I love playing with the other dogs here running around and chasing each other.

I am crate trained and see my crate as a safe place since I sleep and eat in my crate. I run right into it on my own. I am working on housebreaking as this is all new to me. I need a family who will be patient with me as I continue to grow and learn how to be a puppy. I do like to jump up on people when I'm excited. So, no very small children for me. Kids over 4 should be fine. I require a fenced in yard since I love to run and jump and another dog in the home to play with so that I can keep learning about being in a house and how to be a dog.

I am up to date on vaccines and am neutered already.

I am being fostered in Schuylkill County so any potential adopters will have to travel to meet me. If you think that you can give me the love and patience that I need to be a happy pup, 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!
