My story

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

Calling all Chiweenie fans! Looking for a lap dog? Well, here is the perfect dog for you! Rocky is a 10 year old little gentleman. Rocky is friendly and becomes very attached. He will follow you wherever you go. He likes to be close by or ON his person. He loves laying with his foster mom on the recliner.

Rocky is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and a dental completed already. He was surrendered to a local shelter by his family when they could no longer care for him and then made his way to Zoe's.

Rocky is a chill dude who just wants to cuddle. He's not really interested in playing. He is okay with the other dogs in the foster home but could take or leave them. He really just wants to be with people. It is unknown if he was around kids. Rocky would prefer to be in a quiet home without a lot of commotion. He would be ideal for a retired person who is home all day or someone who works from home. Rocky stays in a crate at night but is not crazy about it. He does not require a fence. All he needs is a nice lap!

I am being fostered in Schuylkill County so any potential adopters will have to travel to meet me. If you believe that I am a good fit for you, please apply at https://www.zoeshouserescue.com/adopt.

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!
