Hello! Meet Matty! An adorable, sweet and snuggly 16lb, 2yr old, mini poodle. Matty comes to us recently set free from his commercial breeder. He was shaved down to the skin to remove terrible matting. He is quickly learning how to dog and loving it! Leaving our past behind does not happen over night and the same is true for puppers. So Matty will need a patient home willing to continue to teach him safety, love and freedom.
Matty is shy/apprehensive in new situations and around new people, but warms up quickly. He absolutely loves to be held, though is stiff and awkward while being picked up. He does not like his crate and will not go in willingly or when enticed. However, he has done really well having the run of the house. He is starting to explore items in the house that he shouldn’t have, but responds well to a firm “no!” He will then seek reassurance of your love for him.
Matty likes to be the center of your attention so would do best as an only pup, but does well with other pups. Being an only pup is not required but if you already have a pup wanting all your attention, it will take more patience teaching Matty to share the spot light.
Matty has done well with cats after getting used to them. He is startled by fast movement, so he did not understand their desire to play but has since started to play with his 1yr old kitten foster brother. He has discovered toys but mostly likes to play chase in the yard with his foster brothers.
Matty has typical puppy energy so a fenced yard would be helpful to run free but not required if regular exercise is given. He is learning to walk on a leash and doing well so far.
Matty is fixed, healthy, and up to date on vaccines. He is doing well with potty training, and lets himself out through the doggie door. He wore a belly band well, prior to surgery but has not needed it since, though regression is common with change of environment.
Matty wants to please his humans and will give you all the love you are willing to accept! If you think he will be a good fit for you, please fill out an application!

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!
