My story

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


Dottie is a gorgeous and super special 10-year-old Dalmatian with a heart as big as her signature spots. She arrived to us very pregnant, and while she tragically lost her puppies, Dottie has shown nothing but strength and sweetness through it all.

This gentle girl adores every human she meets. Whether it’s greeting you at the door with a wagging tail or curling up beside you for a snuggle, Dottie’s favorite place in the world is right next to her people. She’s a self-proclaimed cuddle expert who will happily soak up every bit of affection you offer.

Dottie is a little chubby, which only adds to her charm—and she’s more than ready to enjoy leisurely walks and belly rubs as part of her journey to a healthier weight. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and currently finishing her medicine for Lyme disease, so she’ll be all set to start her next chapter of life.

One thing Dottie is certain about: she does not want to share her home with feline friends. But with people, her love knows no bounds—she’s the kind of dog who makes every day brighter just by being there. Dottie is indifferent about canine friends. She is currently fostered with 5 other large breed dogs and does fine.

At 10 years old, Dottie is past the puppy chaos and perfectly suited for a calm, loving home where she can relax, snuggle, and be adored. She is crate trained but prefers not to be crated overnight.

Could you be the one to give Dottie the happily-ever-after she deserves?

Dottie is being fostered in Sinking Spring PA. A meet and greet including all family members is required.

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!
