My story

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

Looking for his perfect match!

Name: Emmett
Age: ~7
Sex: Male
Breed: Chi/Jack Russel Mix
Looking for: Adult only-home
Love Language: Balls & ear scratches

Good with:
Kids: Not preferred
Cats: Unknown
Dogs: Yes, low energy, non-playful dogs


"I am a small, middle-aged boy who is in his PEAK years! I prefer an adult-only home because I don't trust kids... can you blame me?

Some would say that I have commitment issues so apparently, I need someone who I can trust that will ensure I am never let down by a human again. I am iffy with new people but will eventually warm up and then I'm super clingy.

When it comes to other dogs, I am not a paw-ty animal by any means, and I require a nice long handshake and butt sniff before letting you join my circle. I guess I'd be willing to share my human with the right pup....I'll let you know.

I like to take things slow: trust, love, and pets. DON'T ask me to clean your gutters, I live by the "feet on the floor" rule and am a little scared of heights, so I prefer not to be picked up. All I need is a ball to chase or a comfy spot on the couch or on your lap. Don't take it personally but I LOVE my crate. Sometimes it's nice to have alone time.

I have some quirks...AKA don't touch me where I don't want to be touched - but once you learn my "DNT Spots, you can give me love everywhere else!

Listen, I'm a gutsy guy who is looking for someone who can handle my big personality in my tiny body. I'm UTD on my vaccines, can't get anyone preggers, I'm chipped so that you can stalk me & have a clean bill of health.

If you want to make me yours, you have to apply so my "foster mom can "approve. Can you believe she gets to make the final call?!"

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!
