Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Please contact Darlene at 302-312-5129 (fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  This dog is located in Newark, DE. Visit us on the web at https://fur-everpaws.com/fur-ever-paws-adoption-application/ to submit an application. Please contact the foster directly at 302-312-5129 (text or call) or via email at fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com Fur Ever Paws Dog Rescue is a small no kill rescue operating in the Delaware/Maryland area. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that rescues and places homeless, neglected or abused dogs from high-kill shelters in the south into loving, responsible committed and permanent homes. We feel our comprehensive adoption process which includes not only taking the time to match the dog to the prospective new owner but helping to educate that owner in responsible dog care, allows us to find the best homes for our little buddies and the best companions for you! Each week we use USDA certified transports to bring dogs from high-kill shelters in the south to our fosters where they all receive the appropriate medical care and are placed in nurturing loving homes while they await placement in their forever homes. Interested in one of our dogs? Great! Now that you've seen them here you'll need to go to our website where you'll find our list of adoptable dogs (updated every week). Then, it's just a simple process of finding a dog you're interested in and filling out an application on our site. Once we receive your application, whoever is fostering that particular dog will contact you and do a short over the phone interview to complete your application process. If everything works out, they will set an appointment with you so come out and "visit" with the dog you're interested in (we want to make sure that not only are you a good fit for the dog but that the dog will fit with you). If everything works out, you'll be able to take rover (or spot, or jax) home with you that very day. A couple of things you should know: We can't hold dogs over the phone or via email. Adoption fees vary based on breed. All of our dogs have been vet checked and dewormed (if possible due to age, additional treatment may be needed). We provide a spay or neuter voucher to all of our adopters. ​ June 11, 2026, 8:24 am

Story
Princess is my mom’s dog however my mother has been diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer’s and also on a fixed income we can’t afford to get the Princess the medical help she needs. She has something growing from her stomach and it’s at this point we best find a home that they can give her the attention she needs. Princess is a sweet dog she just brakes a lot.

Story
This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match!

Story
Meet Squeak, a tiny 3-month-old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix with a big personality packed into an extra-small package. Squeak recently watched his big sister head off to her forever home, and while he’s excited for her, he’s patiently waiting for someone to choose him next. He’s pretty sure his turn is coming soon—after all, have you seen this face? Like any puppy, Squeak is powered by equal parts curiosity, mischief, and naps. He loves exploring new places, investigating every interesting smell, and showing off his impressive puppy zoomies. When he’s finished conquering the world (or at least the living room), he’s more than happy to curl up for some cuddles. Come meet Squeak today! June 11, 2026, 11:45 am

Story
Skye is a roughly 4 year old long-hair chihuahua mix, a sweet, affectionate snuggle bug, and a great companion. We originally took her in when we learned of another family that could no longer care for her. We are looking to rehome her because we now have a mobile toddler, and that has been putting a lot of stress on her. She would do best in a home with an adult / adults and older children (about age 7 and up). She does great with other dogs and cats, and would be an excellent fit for a home with other pets!Please note: we will have her shots up to date before rehoming.
