My story

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

Eliza is a 4-year-old miniature dachshund with a unique blue coat and a gentle personality. She had a rough start in life as a commercial breeder dog, which left her with some hair loss on her ears and back. Despite this, her soft coat is beautiful and will benefit from regular grooming.

Eliza is a sweet but very timid girl. She doesn’t enjoy being picked up or held and prefers to keep her distance from people. Her ideal home is quiet, low-energy, and without children. A securely fenced yard is preferred, as she’s still learning to trust humans and can be nervous in new situations.

Though Eliza is reserved, there are a few things she loves—especially snuggling up in a warm coat or sweater and curling into a soft bed. These little comforts bring her the sense of security she needs.

She does well on a leash and is curious about other calm, low-energy dogs. She’d do well with a relaxed canine companion or as the only dog in the home. She’s also comfortable around cats. Eliza is mostly potty trained, but she may have accidents if startled or picked up.

Eliza needs patient adopters who will respect her boundaries and work with her at her pace. She’s spayed, had a dental, is up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to find a home where she can feel safe and secure.

If you have a quiet home and the understanding to help Eliza come out of her shell, she could be the perfect match for you.

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!
