Meet Mia 🐶💖

Mia is a 4-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog with the sweetest soul and the biggest heart. She’s super lovable, gentle, and thrives on affection—if you’re looking for a dog who wants to be near you, Mia is your girl. She’s a petite girlie weighing in at 65 lbs.

She has that classic Berner charm: calm, friendly, and happy just being part of the family. Mia is dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. She’s also crate trained and house trained, though—as with many dogs—some regression can be expected when transitioning to a new environment while she settles in.

A fenced-in yard is preferred, as Mia is still a little nervous on leash and feels most comfortable having a safe, enclosed space to explore and relax. With patience and reassurance, she continues to build confidence.

Mia would do best in a home ready to give her the love she gives so freely. She’s the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room, lean into you for hugs, and make your house feel like home.

If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate companion, Mia is ready to meet you. 🐾❤️

📍 Mia is being fostered in Sicklerville, New Jersey and potential adopters would be required to travel to meet her.

Meet Arlo 🐾

Arlo is a 1.5-year-old mix (there is definitely some border collie in there!) with a big personality, a happy heart, and energy for days! Smart, affectionate, and eager to please, Arlo loves learning new things and being your right-hand (or paw) man. If you enjoy an active lifestyle, Arlo is ready to be your adventure buddy.

He is fully potty trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and already neutered, so he’s all set and ready for his forever home.

Arlo has lots of energy and lives for a good full-sp*ed run. Arlos perfect furever home does have a fenced in yard with enough space so he can zoom, explore, and then happily race back to you with a big grin. He will need an active family who is willing to commit to making sure he gets regular exercise! He is working on his leash walking skills and is getting there!

Like many young, playful dogs, Arlo is still learning about appropriate playtime antics and will need a strong leader who is willing and ready to work with him in harnessing his excitement! With his intelligence and desire to please, basic obedience training would be a great way to help him shine even brighter.

Arlo isn’t much of a barker. He won’t react to doorbells or knocking, but he will adorably let you know when he wants playtime, more water, or a potty break. One of his funniest quirks? Water! Arlo loves it so much he’ll try to sneak into the shower while it’s running—just in case it turns into a pool party. 🚿🐶

Arlo is currently being fostered in Wernersville and would need to meet potential adopters to make sure it’s a great match for everyone. Alro wouldn't mind having a canine playmate to romp around with in the yard, or could be a one and only dog in the right family. He is currently being fostered with yonger children and doesn't mind them as long as they are ready to play too!

If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic, fun-loving companion who’s ready to run, learn, and love hard—Arlo just might be your guy. 💙

Vincent, FKA The Abominable Snowman from ACCT Philly is settling into foster case nicely but could use some supplies to make his stay and his recovery from pneumonia virus more enjoyable. He’d be grateful if you could help, as would we. 🫶

Many thanks as always for your continued support and love. 🩷

We’ve been busy in these first few days of the New Year and we are so grateful to be here for the dogs who need us most. 💙

First, we welcomed sweet Snuggleberry - now Eileen - from Harrisburg Humane. Eileen will need quite a bit of medical attention. Along with the typical bulldog skin issues, she’s also a bit of an orthopedic mess and will likely need her little peg leg amputated. But what matters most is this: Eileen is safe now, and she will only know the very best care and more love than she’s ever known.

And this morning, we welcomed The Abominable Snowman - now Vincent - from ACCT Philly. Vincent was timestamped for 10am today… but instead he is safe!

None of this would be possible without two incredible fosters who opened their hearts and homes without hesitation. We are endlessly thankful for you.

As you can imagine, their care comes with significant costs. If you’re able, please consider making a small donation today to support Eileen and Vincent on their road to furever. No amount is too small and every penny makes a difference.

Thank you for being part of their second chance. 🩷

Meet Vanya, a sweet one-year-old pup who’s blossoming more every day. Vanya is a sh*tzu-bichon mix. Recently spayed and vaccinated, she started out a bit shy, but she’s making wonderful progress in warming up and trusting the people around her. Vanya absolutely loves other dogs and is well on her way with housebreaking, showing improvement daily.
Her favorite part of the day? Going outside to explore, sniff, and enjoy the world (in a fenced in yard). With a little patience and a lot of love, Vanya will make a loyal, joyful companion for the lucky family who brings her home.
Please apply at www.zoe’shouserescue.com/adopt

Vanya is being fostered in Schuylkill County so interested parties would need to travel in order to do meet and greets.

🐾 Meet Holly 🐾

Holly is a 7-month-old, 30-lb mini Goldendoodle with the softest soul. She can be very shy at first and needs a little time to feel safe—but once she does, she turns into the ultimate velcro pup who wants nothing more than to be close to her person. 💖

Holly loves dogs of all sizes, does well with cats, and prefers snoozing with her foster brothers and sisters. She’s been in a crate a few times and didn’t mind it at all. Leash walking is coming along nicely, and she’s doing great with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule.

When her shyness melts away, Holly becomes a cuddly lap dog who adores affection and quiet companionship. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. If you have patience, love, and time to let her blossom, Holly just might be your perfect girl. 🌸🐶

Meet Teddy!
Look at that face. 😍 This adorable little fella will steal your heart. He’s an absolute sweetheart and total cuddle bug. At 4 months old and a whopping 35 lbs you can bet he’s going to be a big boy! We are waiting for his DNA test to come back to see what’s behind those big paws of his but we’re assuming he’s a pit mix of some sort.

Teddy shares his foster home with another pittie and also a cat. He’s a playful, rambunctious puppy but he takes correction well from both the resident dog and from his foster mom (when she tells him to be gentle with the kitty). As with most puppies he plays for a brief spell and then totally crashes. He prefers his naps to be along side you on the couch (or wherever it is that you are).

He appears to be a smart little guy. He’s already learned “sit” and “touch.” He’s doing great with his crate training too! He eats his meals in the crate - happily running inside when it’s time. And sleeps overnight in the crate with no fuss (the crate is in the bedroom with foster mom and resident dog - he was barky when he was separated in another room). He does get barky in the crate if you leave home, so apartment living is probably not for him.

Potty training is coming along. He’s usually quick to p*e when you take him outside. But, his bladder is tiny and he does need to go out very regularly or he’ll have an accident inside. Nothing out of the ordinary for a puppy his age.

Teddy would benefit from another dog in the home, because he enjoys the company of a playful companion. Bully breed or large dog experience preferred. Teddy is being fostered in Collingswood, NJ.

Ted is UTD in age appropriate vaccines, chipped and on preventatives. In addition to his adoption fee, adopters are required to pay a $250 neuter deposit and sign a contract agreeing to neuter him at 6 mths old. The deposit will be refunded once proof of neuter has been submitted. Failure to stick to the terms of the neuter contract will immediately result in us taking Teddy back into our care and will void his adoption. No exceptions regardless of reason or excuse.

If Teddy sounds like he’d be a good fit for your family, please apply ONLY on our website, zoeshouserescue.com today!

Meet Raya!
Cute, quirky, and just a little goofy - Raya is a sweet 4 YO 13lb Shih-chon whose gentle personality slowly shines brighter as she feels safe.

That said, if you’re looking for a cuddle bug who instantly wants to be your shadow and very best friend from day one, Raya is not that dog.

Raya came from a commercial breeding situation and is still learning what it means to be a pet. She needs patience, consistency, and love - and in return, Raya will continue to make meaningful progress, just as she has in her foster home.

During the workday, Raya tends to keep to herself and is content doing her own thing. In the evenings, she enjoys being on the couch with her foster family. She may need a little coaxing to get there, but once she’s settled, Raya is happy to relax, lay with you and be pet.

Raya loves interacting with playful dogs and truly thrives around them. An ideal home would have another confident, friendly dog who can help build Raya’s confidence and show her the ropes of the good life. A canine companion is strongly preferred.

Raya sleeps in a crate at night and does well with a predictable, structured routine. Housebreaking is still a work in progress, and Raya is continuing to gain confidence on leash.

Because Raya has lingering fears from her past life, a secure, fenced-in yard is non-negotiable for her safety. Due to her sensitivity, Raya requires a home with no children under 12.

With time, attention, love, and patience, Raya will continue her journey into becoming a well-loved family member. She’s not an instant love bug but she is deeply rewarding for the right home and deserves to be in an environment where she will thrive.

Raya is up to date on vaccines, Spayed, Microchipped, Dental completed (bad teeth removed).

Raya is sweet, endearing, and learning every day what it means to feel safe. If you believe in patience, kindness, and letting a dog move at her own pace, Raya may be the perfect fit for you. Please apply only on our website, zoeshouserescue.com.

Meet Gigi! 💕

Gigi is a 2-year-old French Bulldog who has done an amazing job raising her puppies in rescue—and now it’s her turn to be the center of someone’s world. This little lady is ready to retire from mom duty and start her happily-ever-after.

Gigi has a classic Frenchie personality: confident, expressive, and just the right amount of sassy. She does well with other dogs who can respect her attitude and boundaries, and she’ll thrive with a canine companion who understands her bold charm. She also does well being crated, though she may occasionally voice her disapproval—true Frenchie style.

She is up to date on all veterinary care and is currently being fostered in Harrisburg, PA. Potential adopters must be willing to travel there to meet her. Please note that we do not do same-day adoptions—we believe in thoughtful matches to set everyone up for success.

If you’re looking for a spunky, lovable Frenchie who’s ready to be spoiled, Gigi just might be your girl. 🐾

Wicked: For Good fans, look no further!

While the first four years of “Elphie” Elphaba’s life were Something Bad, she is looking forward to Defying Gravity with her forever family. It only took One Short Day to change this 4-year-old beauty’s life. Now, she is Dancing Through Life and thriving! She is sure to be Popular with her soulful brown eyes and cuddly, snuggly personality. She loves relaxing by her people and laying on the floor where the sun can hit her belly. Elphaba will ALWAYS be the first one to greet you at the door with tail wags and kisses! She has LOVED belly rubs from the moment she entered foster care! There is not a Wicked bone in her body; she’s Not That Girl.

Elphie is great in her crate. Aside from being crate trained, she is also housebroken and has never had an accident. She enjoys her walks, does well on a leash, and was a quick learner! She is extremely smart and caught on quickly. Like most dogs, Elphaba does great with structure and a consistent routine. Some regression is normal in a new home, though.

Elphaba gets along very well with other dogs, but she would also do well as an only dog. She has not been fostered in a home with children, but she is kind to children who want to pet her while on walks.

Elphaba is up-to-date on vaccines, monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative, and is spayed and microchipped.

Elphie says, “As Long As You’re Mine, everything will be Wonderful!” Are you ready to be changed For Good? Apply to adopt Elphaba today at www.zoeshouserescue.com!

Hi Friends!

Hope everyone is enjoying this cold rainy last Sunday of 2025 😊 We are having a great day over here at Zoe’s House and wanted to share our happiness with all of you in this weeks edition of Adoption Stories ❤️

We have only had a few adoptions over the last 2 weeks, all are very special to us. We could not be happier for each of these pups and all the humans involved!

Just incase you missed our original post, our goal is to do an Adoption Story Sunday post on the 2nd and last Sunday of each month. This will be where we can showcase all our foster doggies that have found their furevers. We think it is very important to share the end of each pups transition from rescued to adopted ❤️ We know so many of our followers become invested in our pups and their stories, we want to make sure you all get to see how their stories end.

Attached is a copy of our Amazon wishlist if you would like to donate supplies for our current foster pups 😊
