Josie is a 4yr old spunky little cocker spaniel with a huge heart and an incredible capacity for love. Once she bonds with her person, she is deeply loyal and happiest when she can stay close by their side. She’s a true cuddle bug who enjoys lounging, napping, and soaking up attention throughout the day.
Josie likes going for walks and spending time outside, but she doesn’t need constant activity. She has a medium energy level and is content playing with small toys or relaxing around the house. When Josie was first rescued, she was very shut down, but she has made remarkable progress in foster care. She is still learning how to “be a dog,” and it’s been wonderful to see her discover the fun parts of life—like toys (and learning which items are not toys 😄).
True to her cocker spaniel roots, Josie has a bit of a diva side—she loves wet food, which has also been a helpful motivator as she learns new things.
Because of her background, Josie does have some sensitivities. She appears to be fearful of men, especially those with beards, and may also be uneasy around hats. While this could improve over time, Josie will be most successful in a home where her primary caregiver is a woman. She has lived in a foster home with a toddler and does not show fear around children. Josie does well with cats and tolerates other dogs, though she can become jealous when sharing attention. She is very much a “human dog” rather than a “dog’s dog” and would thrive as the center of someone’s world. She may do best as an only dog or with a calm companion who doesn’t compete for attention.
Josie is still working on potty training and currently uses pee pads. While she may be able to transition to going outside in the future, she spooks easily, so for now her adopter will need to be comfortable continuing pee pad use and working at her pace. She is crate trained for bedtime and when her humans leave the house.
Josie does struggle with separation anxiety and will bark when left alone. She is currently taking Prozac daily as prescribed by her veterinarian to help manage her anxiety. She also has a sedative prescribed for use as needed during longer periods of being left alone. Both medications are very affordable. Because of this, Josie would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time or has a flexible schedule.
If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and unbelievably loyal little companion, with a touch of diva flair—Josie may be the perfect match. With patience, understanding, and a loving home, she will continue to blossom into the wonderful dog she’s meant to be.

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!
