My story

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

"Hi, I'm Vincenzo. It's nice to meet you! I like to run around my foster home's fenced yard, and I am learning to pick up toys to play with! I'm a good eater and very food motivated. My foster mama is teaching me to walk on a leash and some basic training. I can be fearful of loud sounds and new experiences. Because of this I will need a securely fenced in back yard at my forever home. I really like my crate, it makes me feel safe and secure. I do bark when I want something, so apartment life probably isn't for me. I didn't get enough love in my young life, but all that has changed since coming to Zoe's. You see, I was born in a kennel and no one paid attention to me, and when they did it was usually to do something I didn't like. Zoe's volunteers have been teaching me that hands are for holding and laps are for love. My foster mom spends a lot of time with me and has taught me that I can trust people."

Vincenzo is a true kennel puppy. He spent the first 6 months of his life in a small cage without much human contact. He needs a very patient and gentle family who will give him time and guidance. We do require that you have fence for this sweet boy! The good news is that at 6 months old, he has a whole lifetime ahead of him for good experiences! He loves treats and is easily bribed with food. Vincenzo is not too keen on being carried around, but likes to be petted and will allow himself to be picked up. Vincenzo displays kennel type behaviors such as barking when crated, spinning in circles (both in his crate and out of it), and is overwhelmed by too much space. He prefers to be in a small space like his crate with the door open to sleep, or an enclosed dog bed. He spends a lot of time in his foster's kitchen, only venturing out to the rest of the house when everything is quiet. He likes to explore, but needs to do it on his own time. He would do best in a calm household.

He LOVES other dogs and will need another dog in the home who wants a constant companion. He follows his foster sisters and brothers around like a little shadow. He likes to lick their faces and will bounce around them to get them to play with him.

Vincenco is just a little baby who is learning housetraining. He sometimes has accidents and will need an adoptive home who will continue working on pottying outside.

Vincenzo is 15lbs but still has some growing to do. He is a poodle mix, possibly goldendoodle, but he is very curly and will require regular grooming. He is easy to groom and tolerant of everything.

Vincenzo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been treated with monthly parasite preventatives. He is being fostered in southern Lancaster county PA and prospective families must be willing to come to his foster home twice. Once to meet him with all members of the family, including resident dogs, and once more to take him home.

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!
