Story
My sweet Linnie 💗 Linnie is a 10 year old Maltese little lady who was time stamped at ACCT Philly. Her owners surrendered her to the shelter because it was obvious by her breath that she needed a dental and they said they could not afford it. The team at Zoe’s House, with the help of our wonderful community, got her free of the euthanasia list and into a loving foster home. She was determined to have a serious heart murmur but with medication, she was cleared to undergo surgery to be spayed and to have a dental where the diseased teeth were removed. It was also determined that Linnie has some mammary masses, likely from not being spayed early in her life, which are likely cancerous. Her heart and age caution against the prolonged surgery to remove these masses. Linnie is on a daily heart medication and gabapentin for any discomfort. Linnie is unbothered. She is a lady who knows what she likes and what she wants. She enjoys her meals, long naps thereafter and loving in between. She travels fabulously in the car and walks well on a leash. She loves a pup cup 😋She is house trained and cares not for the crate. She doesn’t need it. She is a true lady who is just hoping to enjoy her golden years close by her human. She is being fostered with other small dogs and tolerates respectful interaction but she would love to be the center of your eye and heart. She is a joy❤️ Linnie is being fostered in Collegeville, Montgomery County. A home visit and meet and greet with all residents is part of the application process. She is up to date with vaccines and preventatives. She is microchipped. If you have room in your home and heart for this little lady, apply here >>> zoeshouserescue.com Zoe’s House Rescue Kennel license 9117 Reading, PA 19607

Story
Meet Ozzie. In mid-November, this incredibly sweet little dog found himself in a dire situation. He wasn’t feeling well, so his family took him to the vet. Shockingly, their recommended solution was to put Ozzie to sleep. Thankfully, the vet couldn’t bring himself to go through with it. Instead, he asked Ozzie’s family to release him into his care, and they agreed. He immediately called Critter Cavalry, and Ozzie’s story took a hopeful turn.   After a second thorough exam and x-rays, it was determined that nothing was seriously wrong with Ozzie. He only seemed to have some mild back pain, which resolved after a short course of medication. The moment Miss Dawn arrived home and Ozzie heard the other dogs, his spirits lifted. He happily bounded out of the car, and in no time, he was running around the backyard with his new friends.   Ozzie is a very sweet little man who is 7 years old and 9 lbs.  He is very friendly.  Ozzie gets along great with other dogs.  He does not meet a 4 legged stranger.  He also loves people.  Ozzie would do best in an all-adult home with another small dog to play with.  He is happy boy who just brings a smile to your face.  Don’t you want a similar smile on your face!!     To be considered for Ozzie’s forever family and to request an adoption application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Ozzie is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)December 11, 2025, 7:13 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue is primarily a sanctuary for senior and medically needy dogs.  Every once in awhile you will see younger dogs but for the most part our dogs live out their life at the ranch at the request of their previous owners or their owners families.  We have many sponsorship dogs.  Our sponsors love to keep in touch and know how their sponsored fur buddy is doing :) When we have foster families we are thrilled to be able to take adoptable younger dogs :)  So if you have ever thought about becoming fosters please feel free to go to our foster/volunteer page and fill out an application. The Ranch located at 737 Taylor Rd., Windsor, PA is always looking for dedicated volunteers that will commit to at least a 2 hour shift per week at the rescue.  Volunteers work in play yards, help with laundry and feeding.  Some enjoy landscaping or carpentry projects and some like to bake for the healing center visitors :) Thank you for supporting our mission of caring for the elderly and medically needy souls that need us! Well I was good enough as a puppy and now I am 1 and my owner wanted a new apartment that didn't allow me so she chose the apartment over me :(   Momma Lynn said that's ok since she didn't bother to get me to a vet for vaccines or to be neuter'd Momma Lynn says I deserve much better and she said don't worry she will be very picky about who gets me next YAY!!!  She said she won't send me to a home without a little dog to play with cause I really like having friends here!!  She says I gotta lose those "family jewels" quick though because apparently I am a little "over the top" with being "friendly"  Sooooo she is going to schedule my "nap time" (thats what Mike called it.  He said you take a nap and when you wake up you are missing your "family jewels" but you don't care).  I said OK doesn't sound to bad I rather like naps :) If you would like to meet me fill out an adoption application and we will schedule a play date with your "best friend" and see if we want to be "best friends"Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please fill out an adoption application: Adoption application (Dog) Adoption Application (Cat)   Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5. We do not adopt dogs to renters. Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not. A pet is a lifetime commitment. The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners. We do not take the adoption process lightly, and will do everything in our power to make sure the animal is placed correctly the first time around for your sake and theirs. Thank you for choosing to adopt not shop!

Story
Meet Skippy; a 9.5yr old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) mix who will be 10 in January. He reminds his foster family of a sour patch kid; sweet one minute, sour the next. It all depends on what mood Skippy is in & how tired he may be. He absolutely loves his foster momma, but is hesitant of his foster dad. He will allow his foster dad to play ball or throw toys, but hasn’t allowed him to handle him or even pet him. Skippy is good at letting you know if he is okay with things by either allowing it, or, growling, baring teeth or trying to nip. He definitely has a Napoleon complex, aka little dog syndrome, & likes to try to rule the roost. He isn’t allowed to lay on his foster momma’s lap, but instead has his own dog bed he can lay in further down the couch.  Overnight, or when his fosters aren’t home, Skippy is crated. He does very well in the crate & doesn’t make a peep unless he hears something that alarms him. He isn’t allowed to sleep in bed with his foster family due to his potential to bite when moved. To keep Skippy’s bad habits in check, he gets crated.  Skippy is fully potty trained & hasn’t had any accidents! He is leash trained & walks well with a harness. On walks he may act a fool if he sees another dog, but it’s only his false “big man” bravado that comes out, otherwise does his business & walks well.  Skippy is being fostered with other pups, but has only really showed a liking to a couple; small breed, older, submissive, not wanting the spotlight females. He has played outdoors with two of the small breed males, but tends to puff his chest out & act the toughest! Indoors is another story; he doesn’t like them in what he considers his “space” & his Napoleon complex comes out & tries to pick fights. A fence is not required as long as the owner will walk him regularly.  Skippy’s ideal home would be a low traffic one with one or two owners; preferably female. Due to his little dog syndrome he shouldn’t be homed with children. He is cat friendly & doesn’t seem to care about sharing his home with them, or so his foster family was told. Ideally, it would be great for him to be an only dog, but we think he would be okay living with a low key, submissive, older female that isn’t the type to be in his face or push his buttons. Hopefully Skippy’s ideal home is out there & he can bask in all his glory for the rest of his elder years! Skippy is now neutered, up to date with vaccines and microchipped. He did just have a dental in July before coming to us. His adoption fee is $50.00.If you are interested in adopting Skippy,  please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.

Spider is a 5 year old gal who needs a patient home. She does well with the other dogs and would thrive with another dog to learn from. She may require a few visits as she is very nervous, she came from a place where she wasnt very socialized so that's why she isn't as trusting at first.
