Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.2/24/24 Still available! 2/4/24 *Bonded pair*.  Shortbread (brindle) and Poundcake (brown) are absolutely precious! These little girls are 4 months old. They were surrendered to our rescue by the breeder because they both have Spina Bifida. They have no mobility issues at all- the only symptom is that they are both bladder and bowel incontinent. They will always have to wear diapers. The upside is that you don't have to worry about house training them! These are probably the easiest pups I've ever had. They don't get into things, not big chewers, easy to correct, and they love to snuggle, but if you can't snuggle, they will find a soft spot to snuggle with each other or play together. They are just as sweet as can be, and you have to admit, they are incredibly cute in their little diapers and suspenders! Even though they are still just babies, they are old souls. Despite the diapers, they are very easy to care for. We have them sleep in a crate together, without their diapers, on a grid, so their pee/poop goes under them, and they aren't sitting in it. In the mornings, they eat in their crate, then about 30 min after eating, I put their diapers on them and they come out for the day. I usually only change them one time throughout the day. Then, at night, I remove their diapers and put them back in their crates to eat dinner, and they are perfectly content to go to bed and rest for the remainder of the night. They love to go outside on nice days and explore the yard, but it should be noted that as English Bulldogs, they should never be allowed to stay outside on warm days due to their increased risk for heat stroke. They love being picked up and held or just talked to. They are very affectionate, but not at all demanding. They must be adopted together and stay together. Before applying, please think about whether you will want to deal with diapers on 2 dogs for the next 10+ years. While they are very easy, it is still a major commitment, and I don't want them to ever be separated or booted outside due to their adopter getting frustrated. So please put a lot of thought into whether you are ready for that kind of commitment. They are not free, nor will they be a deeply discounted adoption. Even though they have Spina Bifida, they are still wonderful, and I want them to go to someone who knows their worth and will love them, diapers and all. They are special to me and can stay here with me for however long it takes to find them the perfect home. Please private message for info on the adoption fee. They are up to date on vaccinations and I have had them spayed and microchipped.  Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations. Harrisburg, PA 2am FridaysPort Jervis, NJ 5am Fridays Southington, CT 8am Fridays East Hartford, CT 11am Fridays To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

If you would love this big hunk of love in your home then come down to the shelter and lets meet!---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history.

Story
Woof! Well, hello there! I'm Waddles, a seasoned lady with a heart as big as my jowls. Let me give you a glimpse into my world from my perspective:I'm what you might call a mature bulldog, having lived a life full of experiences. While my past might include some breeding days, I'm ready to leave that behind and embark on a new chapter of love and companionship. I may not be as sprightly as I once was, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to retire to the sidelines just yet! I still enjoy leisurely strolls around the block, where I can take in all the sights, sounds, and smells. And let's not forget about nap time - it's one of my favorite hobbies! I've got a calm and gentle demeanor that's perfect for cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. I'm a great listener, too, so feel free to pour your heart out to me - your secrets are safe with this wrinkly face!I'm seeking a forever home where I can finally kick back and relax in the comfort of a loving family. I've done my fair share of hard work in the past, and now I'm ready to be pampered and spoiled like the queen I am. I'd thrive in a calm environment with people who appreciate the wisdom that comes with age. I would also do best without and small kids (under 15). Special Needs: Bella is currently overweight and will need an adopter who is committed to helping her achieve a healthy weight through proper diet and exercise. She may also require patience and understanding as she adjusts to life outside of breeding. She will be happier as an only dog and getting all the attention from her new family.If you're interested in giving Waddles the loving home she deserves, please fill out an adoption application and we will be in touch with you.

His name is T, T-dog, Mr. T. He just turned 8 years old on 4/4/24. He needs to be the King of his castle (no other dogs or cats). He loves his people! He has lost his people within the last year and he is miserable in the the only home he’s known. He neds someone who wants a companion, someone to take him on short walks & rub his belly often. He’s a good boy with so much love to give!

Story
"Hey there! I'm Opaline! My foster mama calls me Opal (or Opie), and you can too! I am a sweet, easy going gal. I love to eat and I like fluffy beds. I was surrendered to Zoe's House in late February by a commercial breeder. Prior to coming to Zoe's, I had no experience living in a home. I have quickly learned that I like to wander the yard, and I definitely love curling up by the fire place! At 5 years old, I'm a stout 50lbs of love! I would be much healthier at about 40-45lbs. I came to Zoe's as a bit of a mess medically. I had given birth via c-section a few months prior to being surrendered, and it was still kind of sore because the stitches had not been removed when they should have been. I had narrow nasal passages and really bad teeth. Zoe's House took great care of me. My c-section sutures were cleaned and removed, I got spayed, I had dental work, and I got a nasal nares correction. I can breathe so much easier now! I am a bit of a scaredy cat with new things, but I ADORE all people and usually good with other dogs! Sometimes I am grumpy with male dogs. When I am scared I will pancake to the floor and refuse to move. I am a typical stubborn bulldog, and my foster mom has gotten used to waiting for me to get brave and move when I am ready. I like to follow other dogs around, if it's safe for them it must be safe for me too! I would do best in a home with another dog who is confident and relaxed. I am very loving, and sometimes my love is a bit heavy pawed so I may not be the best fit for small kids I can knock over. However, if they are used to dogs bumping into them, we might be best friends!" Opaline is about halfway housebroken, and her new family should expect to continue helping her learn through positive reinforcement and routine. She is a very sensitive girl who loves to be praised when she has done a good job! She does not require a fenced yard but will need to be kept on a leash, as she loves to wander. Opal is being fostered in southern Lancaster county pa. Interested families must be willing to travel to her foster home twice to adopt her. The first visit is a meet and greet with all members of the household, including resident dogs. After the meet and greet a date for adoption will be agreed upon. Opaline is spayed, had dental work, is heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and has been treated with monthly parasite preventatives.

Story
Everyone, meet Puddin. Puddin is a 4y old English bulldog and just the cutest little tater tot ever. Puddin is a retired breeder mama and has really taken to the life of a house dog Hi Friends, Im Puddin. I'm on the search for my family... could you be them?!? I'm a super snuggly little lady and I love being with my people. I don't mind my foster siblings but I prefer my foster mom more. Puddin is still learning about a leash but she is doing very well. She is also doing very well with potty training. Puddin has not spent anytime in a crate since he has been in foster care. Her foster mom gates her off in a small room and she has been perfectly content. Puddin is UTD on all her vaccines and preventatives and she has already been spayed. She has also had her nares and palate fixed and is doing very well. If you feel like she would make a great addition to your family please visit our website at www.Zoeshouserescue.com and apply.

Story
I love this flashy colored little guy! He’s so cute with his little pink nose and his curled tail! Dugie is super sweet, loveable and such a happy puppy! Like most puppies his age, he has plenty of energy and he loves to run and play, usually pretty hard, with the other pups. He adores people, both grown-ups and kids and the attention he receives from them as well. Dugie will make a great addition to some lucky family. Since he just showed up at someone’s house, we can’t be 100% sure of his breeding, but we think he has Shar Pei and maybe some Terrier in him. His dob is 12/26/23 making him 14 weeks old and weighing 17 pounds at the time of this posting (4/4/24). He has been completely vetted, including neuter, microchip, fecal test, all vaccinations, worming and he is on heartworm and flea prevention. His adoption fee is $400. Dugie is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted he will be transported to his pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the Northeast area every week and his fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we can’t adopt directly to those states.
