My story

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

Hey there! My name is Freckles, I'm a 5 year old beagle and I am looking for my forever home!

I love to give kisses and snuggle! I'm trying to learn not to jump but I just love people so much! A typical beagle, I love to investigate ALL the things. My foster mom says I'm smart and curious. I learned my name in only 2 days! I adore my human foster siblings but I've had some disagreements with my doggie foster siblings. We've decided I would probably be best as the only dog in my new home so I can be queen of my castle. I currently live with 4 cats and I don't understand them, so sometimes I chase them and bark to see what they do. If my new home has cats, they would need to be dog savvy and willing to deal with my curiosity.
Because I am so curious, I tend to try to dash out the door any chance I get, so I need a home with a fenced in yard and family who will be cautious when leaving without me. I walk pretty good on a leash, unless I find a fun scent and then I forget my manners and tug to follow the smell I find intriguing.

I would really love a home with kids because they are my favorites. My foster mom is cool, but I cry when the kids leave for school. I know basic commands and would be willing to take classes to learn new tricks or maybe an agility course. I don't like my crate and I cry and try to break out when I'm stuck in it. I much rather sleep with my human foster sister. She let's me steal the covers and even her pillow. Overall, I pack a lot of personality into my petite body and I would love to be your new furry family member.

I tested positive for lymes on intake but I've been treated. I'm UTD on vaccines, spayed, chipped and ready for my forever family! If you think that could be you, please visit zoeshouserescue.com to apply.

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!
