My story

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

Meet Rocket, a 1 year old male Corgi, who loves LOVE, play, and has a need for speed! Rocket was surrendered from a commercial breeder, so when he landed in his foster home, he was very spooked by electronics, cars, and any other noise he may have not heard in farm setting. He is adapting nicely, but can still be fearful of loud sounds.

Rocket loves going on walks and shows high interest in small animals. Due to this, his forever home should not include cats or small critters. He also is very excited to meet doggie friends and although he comes on strong, he is dog friendly and just wants to play!

He is also just as friendly with meeting human friends! Don’t forget, Rocket is a herding breed, so we suggest a home with kiddos 10 and older.

Rocket is very well crate trained and is quiet and peaceful in his space. He also sleeps very well through the night on his dog bed.

He does not climb on furniture, but would likely sit with you if you gave him permission! He enjoys going on car rides and his Lo-fi tunes get him to relax and take naps. He has learned to stay while his foster parents hide a toy and then he goes to find it—he is very smart!

Rocket also enjoys squeaky toys and being in the company of his people when eating.

Rocket is fully vetted, UTD on all vaccinations, and neutered.

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!
