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 mama Tofu! This sweet mama was brought into an overcrowded shelter partner very close to giving birth. In fact, she gave birth less than 48 hrs after being in our care! She gave birth to 9 beautiful babies who have moved on to their forever families and now it is mama's turn! She has some old battle scars on her face from an unknown past, but she won't be getting any more of those. She is the sweetest girl. She loves to cuddle and nap and snore on the couch, but also gets the zoomies every once in a while! They don't last long, though. Tofu prefers to be the only animal in the home. While she has done well around some male dogs she prefers her own space. Tofu has been around people and children and has done well. However in her forever home she would prefer her own space and would prefer an adult only home. She requires a fenced in yard. Tofu is up to date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped Zoes House Kennel #9117 Sinking Spring, PA 19608

Story
If you are looking for the complete package, say hello to Mr. Huey Beans, a young, male, 2-3 yr old American Bulldog mix who was found as a stray and brought into a local shelter. During his time at the shelter, Huey was a playgroup rockstar until he ended up with a URI and landed in isolation during a plumbing issue, which expedited his time stamp. His foster mom and dad quickly pulled him before his time stamp was up and continued his care in-home. He has since recovered, and blossomed wonderfully in his foster home. Huey is incredibly smart, and knows the commands: come, sit, touch, down, shake, and possibly others. He is also very obedient and has great name recognition and comes immediately when called. He is very dog friendly as he currently lives peacefully with 4 other large dogs, and enjoys playing with his furry foster siblings day and night. He would really enjoy another playful, tolerant dog to live with! He has lived harmoniously with cats, after being redirected from chasing. Dog-savvy cats will be best for Huey's forever home. Huey is crate trained and goes in on command and sleeps peacefully there or in bed with you-whichever you'd like. He eats his meals in his crate, and shares his toys with his furry foster siblings. He is also 100% potty trained and has never had a single accident in his foster home. He can be strong on a leash but is non-reactive and easily redirected. Huey has great stamina and can go on long walks and hikes with his forever family! He also enjoys chewing on bones, snuggling with his people on the couch, and giving big hugs. Huey does not enjoy his nails being trimmed, but who does? Over time he may be desensitized as he gets more comfortable and builds trust. Huey would thrive in home with children 12 and up, as young children's loud toys seem to make him nervous. Huey has the biggest, dopiest smile and the most uncoordinated run, and will surely keep you smiling. He is an entertaining dog who is happy-go-lucky and full of life! If you are looking for an incredibly loyal, smart, easily-trained pup that loves to snuggle, Mr. Huey Beans is ready to be your best friend! Huey is fully vetted, neutered, and UTD on all vaccinations. If you think Huey would be a great addition to your family, head to www.zoeshouserescue.com to fill out an application!

Hey there, amazing humans! I'm Otto, a lively 2-year-old Pitbull with a heart full of zest and a spirit as untamed as the wind. They call me a "wild child," and I wear that title proudly! Life is a grand adventure, and I'm ready to dive in headfirst. But, between you and me, I could use a little guidance and some patient training to channel all this enthusiasm into something extraordinary. If you're ready to take on the challenge and joy of training a wild child like me, contact the ARL for more information or stop by the shelter to meet me!

Hello! My name is Mia and I've been described as a sweet but nervous girl. I tend to need a bit of time when it comes to first meeting you. Once I finally warm up I'm a sweet love bug who will be right by your side! However, I am a hit or miss when it comes to getting pets so it may take some trial and error to see how I'm feeling that day. I'm just a gentle shy girl who wants someone perfect for me! If I'm a perfect addition to your home, stop by the ARL today. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 68.4 Age: 4yrs 3mths 0wks

I'm free to adopt thanks to a generous donor!Hi, I'm Annie a sweet and loveable, senior pittie mix looking for my forever home! I am a big lovebug when it comes to people. I love to be close and get lots of attention. Very kind and gentle with all humans. I do not feel the same way about other animals, so I do need to be the only pet in my new home and ideally in a place that doesn't have a lot of dogs or roaming cats. I also enjoy walks and snuggling up in big beds! If you are interested in meeting me, please speak to an adoption counselor today!

This adorable grey muzzle pittie is Spike! Spike is a sweetie pie. He can be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up (and realizes you have a snack or two) he is very friendly and snuggly. He has lived with other dogs in his previous home, and done well with the ones he's met here. He would do best with a calmer dog who isn't looking to play too much, because Spike is a bit of a lazy boy. If Spike sounds like the best fit for your home, come to the ARL today and adopt this adorable man! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 64.1 Age: 7yrs 1mths 1wks

Woofgang Amadogus Mozbark! OR Woofgang for short, is a very sweet little pittie boy looking for his forever home. Woofgang is a big shy when he first meets new people, but he warms up quickly! He has met some dogs here at the shelter and was really loose and wiggly and happy to see them. Because he is so nervous, we do recommend children over 8 in the home so they can read his signs and understand when he is uncomfortable. If you can't get enough of this sweet face, come to the ARL today and adopt Woofgang! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brindle Weight: 48.2 Age: 5yrs 1mths 0wks

How can you look into those big puppy dogs eyes and NOT want to adopt Goku! Goku is a silly little guy who loves to get all the love. Goku has a lot of energy, so we do ask that you bring any dogs in the home to the shelter to meet him before adopting. He is a big lover, so he would do well with kids of any age.

Bodhi is ready to look for his forever home. Bodhi is an 8 month old Beagle/Bulldog mix who came from the Amish when he got too old to sell. He has been in foster for about a month now and is fitting in nicely. Bodhi is a little shy when meeting new people but warms up quickly. His foster mom states he is housebroken and crate trained. He is a hoarder of things so if you can’t find anything just look in your sofa cushion. Bodhi also plays well with other dogs but does like to chase cats but only to play.

Story
Meet Bach! I am a 3 year old Merle English Bulldog who was surrendered by a commercial breeder. If you are looking for a friend to confidently lead you everywhere you go? Then I am your guy! The first thing you need to know about me is that I am blind and I'm missing an eye. I bring this up because when you meet me it may not be immediately apparent. I have so much confidence and do everything with gusto! As Miley Cyrus said, "I come in like a wrecking ball" (LITERALLY). My foster family says that I would confidently lead you off a cliff. I have amazing hearing and sense of smell and use both of those senses to find my way around. I love to go outside. I would really benefit from a family who has a fenced in yard so I can spend my days basking in the sun safely. I love toys that simulate my senses- things that are crinkly or squeak. My foster family has a variety of toys to keep me happy. I have even started using a snuffle mat. I have been learning so many new things while at my foster home including finding my voice so I am able to communicate with my new family. I am crate trained but be aware that regression is common when adjusting to a new environment. In my foster home I have lived with another bulldog and cats. I'm not phased by either of them, usually preferring to be with my people and my toys. Because of my "wrecking ball" status, younger children are not preferred in my new home. Kids over the age of 12 would be best! I walk well on a leash but I am VERY strong, that's what my foster mom says. I'm really just a big baby looking for couch snuggles and love! Bach is up to date on vaccines and has been neutered. Bulldog experience is necessary for him. If you think Bach would be a great addition to your home, please apply today!
