Story
NAME: Zep BREED: Shih Tzu BIRTHDAY: 2014 WEIGHT: 13lbs ADOPTION FEE: $350   This sweet and happy little fellow was found as a stray in Philly. He was in rough shape- matted all over with a mouth full of mushy teeth, and was understandably nervous in the shelter. However, it didn't take him long to settle in here at GOT, exploring the yard and soliciting head scratches from his foster mom. We got his teeth fixed up and his face trimmed nicely, and now Zep is ready for a family of his own! &#226&#128&#139 Zep gets along well with other animals, and is happy to meet new people. He does well with house training as long as he's given consistent breaks and the weather is nice. He is happy to go for walks or rides in the car, and is quiet and polite in the house. Zep does have some pain in his legs and will need to be on medications for life, but his "swimmy" little gait just gives him more character, and he loves taking his pills. Overall he's just a good boy! Because of his age and size, we are looking for a home for Zep without young children, but young visitors should be just fine as long as they are gentle and polite. Please consider giving Zep the forever home he deserves! April 26, 2024, 12:04 am

Story
"Greetings! I am Magic - formerly known as Fonzy. I am a very special boy with a lot to offer. First and foremost, my Magic dust! You'll be so charmed by me that the only explanation is something supernatural! I have lived a super hard life in my short year and a half on your mortal earth. I was on my own - I don't know how long it was but my hair got very matted and I got really skinny while I was a free man. I can be a little stand offish with new people, but if you give me a minute, I'll come to you when I am ready to share my charms. When you come meet me, don't forget that whiffle balls are my favorite!" Magic is a 1.5 year old boy who loves being active! He loves fetch, frizbee, walks, and car rides! He is a busy body who likes having things to do. He is a brilliant dog who can be taught any trick or skill. So far, he knows Sit, Down, Come, and his name! He is also working on learning Shake, Spin, and Speak. In his foster home, Magic has learned basic dog skills like housebreaking, playing with toys, sharing his space with humans, and is working on life with other animals. He loves going for walks in nature! He is a fantastic hiking buddy with very good leash manners. Magic went without essentials for too long. He is learning to appreciate warm beds, regular meals, vet care, and most importantly, endless love. He has so much potential to grow, and we want him to blossom into the gentleman we know he can be! Magic has been repeatedly failed by humans and it shows. He will do best in a home with no other dogs, and no people under the age of 18. With proper socialization and behavior modification, he may be able to live with other animals in the future. Magic takes daily medication for anxiety and this will need continued during transition to a new home. It is possible that he will be able to be weaned off this medication in the future. Magic is being fostered in southern Lancaster county. Interested adopters must be willing to travel to his foster home to meet him, and bring along any current dogs for the meet and greet. Magic is neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and has been treated with monthly parasite preventatives. Please apply online at www.zoeshouserescue.com to schedule a time to speak with his foster mom for more information about him. Kennel License #9117 PO Box 2372 Reading, PA 19608

Are you searching for the perfect lucky charm? Look no further, you've found her! Meet Clover, a three-year-old shih tzu/poodle mix. Clover is a sweet, friendly dog, and has puppy-level playfulness with none of the destruction! At only 14 lbs, she packs a lot of personality in her small frame! She loves to go for walks, play with her stuffed toys (and any scrunchies/socks her foster family leaves lying around), and snuggle with her family members. Clover is house trained, but some regression is expected when she is transitioning homes. She is friendly with other dogs, but would prefer a home where she can be the center of attention and get all of the affection her family can dole out! She loves respectful kids, but due to her petite size, and because she does not like to be squeezed, children in the family should be 8+. Clover loves cats... maybe more than they love her! She must have had feline friends before coming into rescue, because she likes to play with them. She will try to play 'chase' so her adopter would need to have a dog-friendly cat or a cat-free home. Clover considers herself a guard dog and likes to look out the window to let you know when visitors or packages are arriving. She follows her foster parents around the house and loves nothing more than to be with them. She will try to follow them out the door, so potential adopters will have to be careful she doesn't do so. School pickup is one of her favorite times of day, when she can see her kids and meet her canine neighborhood friends. She walks well on a leash, but prefers a harness over a collar. She also loves to run around her neighbor's fenced in backyard, so one in her adopter's home would be a plus, but not a requirement. She does not like to be crated, but is fine with gates. Clover prefers to be hand fed her food, or for her food to be placed directly on a silicone mat or plate vs. a bowl. She has a sensitive stomach, so new food and treats should be introduced slowly. Clover is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, heart worm negative and on preventatives, and has recently had a dental. Due to her fur, she will need to be brushed regularly and groomed every 6-8 weeks. Her adoption donation is $450. Do you have room in your home for the ultimate good luck charm? Apply today!
