Story
This little land seal is going to steal your heart! Nelly lived with children of all ages in her first home. She is also housetrained and crate-trained! Nervous Nelly takes some time to warm up to strangers (she's just scared) so multiple visits will be required since we want her to feel comfortable going home with her new family. Nelly does great with other dogs and plays all day long with her shelter friends!

Chopper came to us as a stray and his family never came to look for him :( Chopper is a big boy looking for a family to love! He's a friendly guy and gets along with other dogs here at the shelter. Some men can be intimidating to Chopper but after a few minutes he comes around just fine!

Scrat is a 1-2yr old handsome pooch looking for a home! He was a stray and did get along with the finder's dogs but since being here at the shelter he hasn't been great with dogs. This could be related to the stress of the shelter. Scrat has done well with everyone he meets and has met children here and done well.

Story
Hi! My name is Skye. I am a 3-year-old very energetic, food motivated, spayed American Pit Bull Terrier mix. I live with my human mom and dad, two human brothers, a dog sister, a dog brother, and NINE cats. I need to find a home with no other (female) dogs. I love my dog sister, but she wants to be the boss, and so do I and this has caused much distress in my house. I am looking for an active home that will take me on car rides and hikes. A family that will continue to train me and make me an important part of their family. I love treats, food, teeny tiny tennis balls that squeak, treats, food, cuddles, treats, food, and staring out the window. If you couldn't tell by my love of food, I'm very motivated by food. I will love you unconditionally once I get to know you (and you give me treats).

Story
Nala is a stunning 10 year old petite pittie mix. Even though she's getting older she is full of energy ! A family that can be very active with her and take her out on walks/hikes/runs as well as someone who has a fenced in yard would give her the opportunity to fully flourish. She is defenitly a people dog and loves to be with her human/ humans. She'll even love to go on car rides with her new family. She is an extreme attention hog and would be best suited for a home where she could receive all the attention and not have to share,as she can also be pretty selective with other animals. She currently resides in a home with 2 small children and does well with them, however she does get super excited at times and forgets that she needs to be careful around them so she doesn't knock them over. She is leash trained and needs to be crated when home alone but doesn't love to be in her crate for long periods of time. She is currently taking something to help her deal with her separation anxiety and her new home would need to be ok with administering her 1 pill a day. A family that can be home with her quite often would be a good fit for her. If you're looking for a lifetime companion that will stay by your side, then Nala might be the one for you !

Story
Calling all Pitty lovers! Synclair the roughly 1.5 year old, 45lb male Pitbull is up for adoption! He is blind but don't, "pity him it doesn't hold him back one bit. Hello everyone, my name is Synclair! I was an owner surrender for no fault of my own; my family just couldn't keep me and had been very sad to let me go. They tell me I'm blind, but honesty I don't think I am at a disadvantage. Loud household noises don't frighten me at all, and I am a smart pup who can learn the layout of my environment quickly. I do best with a routine, it helps me know what to expect and curb some slight anxiety. I'm a sweet gentle boy who absolutely loves everyone. My favorite things include snuggling, playing with my toys, and getting treaties. I Would love another pup in my forever home, someone to play, snuggle and romp around with when my humans are busy, so I don't get lonely. I walk okay on the leash with some guidance from my foster mom, and I have mastered getting up and down stairs! I am also quite skilled at getting up into the car for rides around town. Still working on my relationship with my crate, I have been doing really well sleeping in my crate at night now. I do cry out when my foster family leaves me in the crate to go out on the town without me, however I settle down eventually. I ring a bell that my foster family has set up for me by the door when I want to go outside; this has helped me well in eliminating my accidents. However, they tell me regression is common in new environments. My foster mom says I am a smart boy and will catch on quick in my new home with a routine. Still working on some manners, I am still a big puppy, and little cheeky. My foster mom has a full house with lots of noise so when I get caught doing something I shouldn't, I'm very easily redirected. My foster family includes two small children, and other than occasionally bumping into them when they are too quiet (which is not often), we get along great! I really love to chow down on my dog food, a puzzle feeder would be best, so I take my time and not eat too fast. I Would be okay with a dog friendly cat that didn't mind me sniffing and being all up in their space. I do love to play but I am only mildly energetic, mostly I am calm cool and collected. I will get excited when you come home after being away, but what dog who loves you wouldn't? I have been Microchipped, neutered, vetted, and up to date on vaccines. My foster mom says I'm truly a sweet and special dog that will make one lucky family happy. If I sound like a good fit for you, please apply! Currently being fostered in Reading PA.

Story
Meet Tofu! Todu is a 4'ish year old American Bully mama who came to Zoe's by way of an overcrowded shelter when she was very close to giving birth. Tofu had 9 beautiful babies who have moved on to their forever families and now it is mama's turn! Our sweet girl has some old battle scars on her face from an unknown past, but those days are over. Tofu is the sweetest girl and deserves a second chance with a loving family. She loves to cuddle and nap and snore her days away on the couch, but also gets the zoomies every once in a while! Tofu prefers to be the only animal in the home and she promises she's worth it! While mama has done well around some male dogs she prefers her own space. Tofu has been around adults and children and has done well. However in her forever home she would prefer her own space and would prefer an adult only home with a fenced in yard. Tofu is up to date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped and ready to love you! Please apply on our website only, zoeshouserescue.com. Zoes House Kennel #9117 Sinking Spring, PA 19608
