My story

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

Meet Delaney – Grace in Gentle Form

Delaney is a 1.5-year-old hound, weighing about 30 lbs — a graceful, gentle girl with the softest soul. Since arriving at the temporary shelter, she hasn’t made a peep — no bays, no howls, not even a whisper — but her eyes and wiggly tail tell you everything you need to know.

This sweet girl has clearly been through a lot, yet she meets every moment with quiet hope. She’s underweight and still catching up on good meals, but her face lights up when the food bowl comes out. Delaney is eager for love and attention, though she asks for it so politely — a gentle nudge, a small wag, or a look that says, “I’d love some affection, if you have a moment.”

Common for  her breed, Delaney would thrive in a home with a fenced yard to run and a home where someone is frequently home.

She’s learning that she’s safe now — that kind hands are here to stay, and that it’s okay to take up space. Delaney would thrive in a calm, loving home where patience and tenderness are second nature. In return, she’ll give you the kind of quiet devotion only a hound like her can offer.

Help Delaney know she’s home, at last. To apply, go to www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application (use laptop or computer).

More about this rescue

Peace4paws is a 501 (c) 3 non profit public charity centered in Northern New Jersey. Through our foster home system, we are able to support the rehoming and adoption of dogs from kill shelters as well as facilities of research and related fields. Founded in 2007, our initial mission focused on supporting sanctuary and forever homes for animals retired from use in research and related fields. In the past few years we have broadened our scope of rescue. We continue to help our own retired research animals and independent sanctuaries but also save shelter dogs. We are able to do this work through the efforts of our volunteer network and generous donors. Please see our website or facebook page "Peace4Paws" to meet our adoptable dogs, success stories or volunteer opportunities. We organize fundraising events centered around yoga, music, health, or animal friendly activities. We are also involved with student outreach and education. We would love to work with you.


Our Motto...

Research Animals Make Exceptional Pets!
