Story
Lisbon a.k.a Lizzy is hoping to find her fur-ever home! We are delighted to reintroduce Lisbon, a charming 6-month-old Jack-chi (Jack Russell Chihuahua mix) puppy seeking a forever home. Weighing 7 pounds, Lizzy is a lively and intelligent companion who thrives on human interaction. Vet Care Lizzy is up-to-date on vaccinations and monthly preventatives, ensuring a healthy start in her new home. *Personality and Temperament* This little pup has a big personality, effortlessly switching between being a lap dog and an energetic playmate. She adores being close to her people, often seeking to sit on or across laps, and enjoys participating in various activities like homework sessions, Zoom meetings, and online shopping. Lizzy also loves spending time outdoors, whether lounging or playing in the yard with canine and human friends. *Training and Behavior* Lizzy is making excellent progress in potty training, responding well to positive reinforcement. She is intelligent and easily redirectable, she has normal puppy behaviors like mouthiness during teething stages. As a sensitive soul, she requires a patient and understanding owner who can provide gentle guidance and affection. *Ideal Home Environment* Lizzy would thrive in a home where someone is frequently present to provide companionship and attention. She would also love a fur-sibling. She enjoys being part of family activities, watching TV, and snuggling on furniture. Due to her energetic nature and tendency to cry when contained, a home with a securely fenced yard and a family willing to invest time in training and socialization would be ideal. *What kind of facility she needs* We're looking for a family who appreciates Lizzy's playful, affectionate nature and is willing to accommodate her needs. If you're seeking a companion who will be your shadow, enjoy snuggling, and bring endless laughs, and joy to your life, Lizzy might be the perfect fit. Her fosters just love her! We're going to miss Lizzy dearly, but we're confident that she'll bring immense joy to her future family. If you're ready to provide a loving, furever home, we'd love to hear from you. If you are interested in adopting her please send us a message or fill out an application.

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. &#226&#128&#139 June 8, 2025, 5:02 pm

Story
This sweet little 4-year-old Chihuahua is in search of his forever human, and he has so much love to give. His devotion and loyalty are unmatched, and he dreams of forming a deep, lifelong connection. Trotter’s journey hasn’t been easy. He originally found himself in a shelter alongside his cherished companion, but when his friend was adopted, Trotter was left heartbroken and alone in a noisy environment. The fear and sadness he experienced led him to chew anxiously at the bars of his cage, leaving him exhausted and injured. When we learned of his situation, we knew we had to step in and bring him to a safer, loving place. Now, Trotter is vaccinated, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. He thrives on the love of his person and would do best as the only dog in a quiet home, as he can still feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of life. This little guy is a true velcro dog who simply wants to be by your side. If you feel you can offer Trotter the peaceful and loving environment he deserves, we invite you to apply and welcome him into your family. www.hillhounds.org
