Story
This handsome hunk of golden love is Brodie, a 10-month old, male, cream-colored golden retriever surrendered from a commercial breeder. Brodie was under-socialized when he arrived to the rescue and had very little experience or education in how to be a confident, playful puppy. In his foster home, Brodie has been closing this gap and his spirited, bouncy, and joyful personality is emerging a little more each day. He will need a steady and patient home who is prepared to work with him to continue to build his confidence. He is very biddable and wants to be a good boy, he just needs the right coaching. Brodie's foster 'siblings' have been instrumental in helping him learn how to be a dog, and he lights up around them. Brodie is gaining confidence during independent walks and experiences, but another self-assured resident dog who has a playful attitude would be an ideal fit in his new home. While Brodie has almost reached his full size, he is still very much a puppy in spirit. His new family should be prepared to engage him in play and daily exercise, and provide an outlet for his youthful energy (a tired puppy is a good puppy, as they say). Tennis balls are a new-found love and Brodie has been demonstrating a natural inclination for retrieving in the yard when the ball is thrown for him. He really enjoys hiking and being around water, but also settles down well when back in the house. Brodie has been doing well with crate-training, and rests in crate when his foster parents are at work. He is becoming increasingly reliable with house-training, but some regression is normal in a new home, and establishing a routine for him will help him to continue to be success in this area.

If you feel like he would be the right fit and addition to your family please visit our website at www.Zoeshouserescue.com to apply. Zoes House, Inc Kennel license # 9117 Po box 2372 Reading pa 19608

Story
Do you have room in your heart for a sweet senior looking for a second chance? If so, Crystal is your girl! Crystal was adopted from Zoe's House several years ago. Unfortunately, her owner passed away and she is looking for a new home for this second phase of her life. Crystal is an 8-year-old goldendoodle who is about 50 pounds. She has a beautiful golden retriever-type coat and does shed like one. Like your typical doodle though, she loves a good spa day. Don't let Crystal's cute frosty face fool you - she's still got some spunk! Crystal is the perfect mix of playful and calm. She loves to sleep by her foster mom's feet while she works from home. But when work's done, she's ready to go outside and play or walk around the neighborhood. At night, she loves to snuggle on the couch. Crystal's biggest joy in life is being with her family. She has never met a person she hasn't liked, and she absolutely loves kids. Crystal lights up when her foster family gets home and loves to follow them around the house. She even helps her foster dad with the yard work! This girl doesn't need toys... she just needs you. Because she loves to be with her people so much, she would do best with someone who is home a lot. Crystal's still working on learning that her crate is not scary, but a safe space for her to hangout. While she barks when she first goes in the crate, her foster family set up a sneaky camera and sees that she usually settles down 10-15 minutes after everyone leaves. Initially, Crystal was very hesitant and scared around her foster family's other dogs. After a few weeks, she is slowly warming up to them... she even played a bit outside! She would love to be your one and only because you'll never have a better companion than her. However, she could potentially live with other friendly dogs if she has a very understanding owner who is willing to take it very slow. Crystal is housebroken and is used to living in a home. However, adopters should keep in mind that such a big change could cause potty training regression. Accidents during the adjustment period are quite normal. Crystal is one of the sweetest dogs who has been through a lot. Please consider adding her to your family as she will fill your life with love! Adopters will be required to travel to her foster home in Lancaster, PA with all family members for a meet and greet. Kennel License #9117 PO Box 2372 Reading. PA 19608

Story
Taffy is a 5-year-old mini-Golden Doodle who was rescued from a commercial breeder. Taffy is a very mellow gal who loves taking walks, (check out her video) laying on her dog bed and hanging out on the sofa. Taffy is still learning to trust that she is loved & safe, so she is looking for a special family who will be patient and give her the time that she needs. Taffy was very matted when she came, so she was clipped pretty short when she was groomed, so she is all ready for Summer! Her new family will need to make sure she gets regular grooming. Taffy does well in a crate, although she doesn't need it anymore. She rides well in the car. Taffy gets along with her foster sister, a Golden Retriever and ignores the cats. Because Taffy gets nervous with too much excitement, no younger kids for her. She would love to have a fenced in yard to play in and a dog sibling to help her continue her journey of becoming her best self. She is a wonderful house guest! Taffy is potty trained, although we say that regression is common in new situations. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her shots. If you are looking for a couch potato or walking buddy, please fill out an application for Taffy. She is a lovely girl! She is being fostered in Strasburg, PA.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.A NOTE FROM MEEKA'S FOSTER:I have been fostering Meeka for several months. She is adorable and charming. This love bug is eager to find her forever home where she can be the center of attention. Meeka is not just cute, she's incredibly smart, a little bit mischievous, and loves to please her person. She'll snuggle with you, play with her toys, and keep you entertained. Meeka will thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention, which is why she would do best as the only pet in the household. She loves being the star of the show and having all the love and attention to herself. While Meeka is incredibly loving and awesome, she prefers a calm and serene environment, making her not suitable for small children. She craves a peaceful atmosphere where she can relax and enjoy the company of her favorite humans. Meeka is house broken and does fine being left on her own in the house. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a pup who will shower you with love and loyalty, Meeka Is the perfect match for you! Meeka is going to need a home with a 6 ft privacy fence around the yard.  If you are interested in Meeka please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! ***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 16, 2024, 11:15 am
