My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Hello there, I'm Elvis. I am a 7 year old male West Highland White Terrier. A couple things to know about me, first and foremost - I am not a hound dog, and I won't be lying all the time....but you won't be able to help falling in love with me!
I like slow walks to the end of the driveway, a warm fireplace, a dog friend to pal around with, but most of all I like my people!
I am not a wild young buck who will rough house, but I do enjoy chasing my foster sister around the yard.
I am perfectly fine with other animals and I enjoy a dog companion.
I am a little bit of a picky eater, but my foster parents have found quite a few treats and foods that I like.
I love people, but I gravitate towards calmer adults than busy kids. I am sweet and gentle, but if kids are running around or being loud, I will retreat to my crate for some peace.
I am crate trained and only bark to greet my foster parents when they come home. I do not have accidents in my crate.
I am nearly house broken, but I would benefit from close supervision at first in a new environment. I am a smart man I will figure out the rules in a new home quickly.
I was surrendered to Zoe's House by a commercial breeder when they retired me from their program. I had never lived indoors, and I was in desperate need of medical care. I had really terrible dental disease, and I had to have 25 teeth pulled. I am feeling SO much better now that the infected teeth are gone and my mouth is healthy.
I am a sweet gentleman and I am looking forward to meeting my forever family!"

Elvis is being fostered in Southern Lancaster County and interested adopters must come to his foster home twice. The first visit is a meet and greet with all the members of the household including existing dogs in the home. The second visit is to take him home.

More about this rescue

Who We Are:
Zoe's House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare group based out of Sinking Spring,PA. We are comprised solely of volunteers that generously volunteer their time, their homes and their hearts. We are dedicated to rescuing homeless, neglected or abandoned animals from high kill shelters or from owners who can no longer care for them. We provide the animals with loving foster care, veterinary treatment and rehabilitation until we are able to pair them with compatible and loving forever homes. At times we also offer permanent sanctuary to those with special or medical needs and that are considered unadoptable.

Zoe's House serves as a resource to our community and to our adopters by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, the importance of spay/neuter, behavior training, nutrition, puppy mill awareness, heartworm preventative and breed education. Our organization also networks with other shelters and rescues. We try to assist other organizations when possible.

Zoe’s House is not federally funded, and relies solely on donations to continue to rescue. Although we are not breed specific, the need to save Dobermans, Rottweilers, German Shepherds and Pitbulls is ever growing; therefore, we have focused primarily on saving the lives of our beloved and majestic strong breeds.

What We do:
There are many people involved in the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of each dog we take in. Our rescue effort starts with the initial intake request for a dog. Whether this be at a shelter of from an individual in the community, we try to gather as much information as we can. We then pickup or transport the dog to safety in rescue. At this time we administer immediate veterinary care to determine the health of the dog and ensure the animal has proper immunizations. We also have bloodwork done for a heartworm check, lyme, fecal and sometimes a blood panel depending on the age and health of the dog. The dog remains in "in-home" foster care and becomes a part of the fosters family for an undefined period of time. We evaluate the dog and work on basic manners and obedience. At times we have dogs for a longer duration due to health and/or age. The dogs in our care come with us to adoption events, home screenings, and ultimately permanent placement. Zoe's House then provides post-adoption follow-up and support and welcomes the new family to the "Zoe's House Family!" We strive to stay in close contact with all of our adopters to ensure the transition and life long relationship continues to be magical. We remain dedicated to the principal that we never want one of our rescues to end up in a shelter or in a home that does not provide a responsible and loving environment for the life of the animal.

We truly believe that one dog at a time... we are making a difference!
