My story

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

Hi!! I'm Blanche The Bichon. I am 4 years old and I was surrendered from a commercial breeder. I've had a few litters of puppies but no more pups for me. I've been spayed and have all my vaccines.

I am enjoying life in my new foster home. I'm a little timid and shy at first but I am learning what it's like to be loved. That petting thing is pretty nice. I really like the resident puppies here. We cuddle together. They have been teaching me what it's like to be a dog. I really like the warm jacket my foster mom put on me. It keeps me toasty warm.

I'm learning to potty outside but sometimes I don't like going out in the cold. I am learning to follow my puppy friends outside. I've learned a lot so far but need a family who will be patient with me as I continue to learn. I really like to lounge. I enjoy being in my crate. I feel safe in there. I haven't quite figured out what toys are or how to play with them yet but I have such a sweet disposition.

Blanche would do best in a home with another calm dog and no children under 12. A small fenced area would be best too as Blanche doesn't know how to walk on a leash yet.

During her spay, we removed a small mammary tumor that was grade 1 cancer, but the good news is that it was caught early and the margins are all clear! Blanche is being fostered in Berks County.

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!
