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 March 6, 2026, 12:08 pm

Story
  Missy Girl is the very definition of resilience. This beautiful 2-year-old Chihuahua and Blue Heeler mix has already lived through more uncertainty than most dogs should ever know, yet her heart remains open and full of love. She was part of a heartbreaking situation involving a large number of neglected animals living in a troubled home where both pets and people had been abandoned to fend for themselves. When things finally fell apart, Missy Girl found herself wandering the streets of her small town, searching for food, shelter, and safety. With the local shelter already full, county officers stepped in to help provide food and support to the loose animals until they could safely bring them in one by one. Today, Missy Girl is finally safe with Critter Cavalry Rescue, where she is receiving the care, stability, and kindness she has always deserved.    At around 20 pounds, Missy Girl is the perfect medium-sized companion. She’s a smart and sturdy little girl with the intelligence of a Blue Heeler and the loyal heart of a Chihuahua. Despite everything she has endured, she is housebroken, affectionate, and happiest when she’s close to her people.Missy Girl loves the simple things in life that she likely missed before—curling up on the sofa beside her foster mom, soaking up affection, and enjoying the comfort of a normal home. She has a playful spirit and enjoys having fun, but she also appreciates quiet moments of love and companionship.   Car rides still make her a little nervous because of the uncertainty they once meant in her life, but with patience and love, she will learn that new adventures can lead to wonderful places. Missy Girl has survived the hardest chapter of her life. Now she is ready for the part of the story where she is cherished, safe, and deeply loved for the rest of her days. She is currently fostered in Nashville, Tennessee and can be transported north on March 13, 2026 to the right forever home.  If you believe Missy Girl belongs in your family, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 6, 2026, 1:17 am

Story
  If joy had four paws and a wagging tail, it would look just like Joyful Jayda. This precious little girl is a delightful blend of Chihuahua and Tibetan Spaniel, born on January 23, 2025, and weighing about 10–12 pounds—the perfect size for cuddling, traveling, and being your constant little companion. Jayda’s story began when her mother, a stray in a neighborhood, was taken into foster care by a kind person who didn’t want her having puppies outside. It turns out that the handsome neighborhood Tibetan Spaniel had already played his part in her story, and that’s how sweet Jayda came to be. Jayda was lovingly adopted as a puppy and spent almost a year in a home where she was cherished. Sadly, her owner began experiencing serious health issues that kept her away from home much of the time. Wanting the very best life for Jayda, she made the loving and selfless decision to return her to rescue so she could find a home where she receives the attention and companionship she deserves. And what a wonderful companion she is! Jayda is housebroken and even rings a bell when she needs to go outside—a very smart little lady. She loves people, enjoys other animals, and brings a bright, happy energy wherever she goes. Joyful Jayda truly lives up to her name. She’s affectionate, friendly, and ready to fill someone’s home with love, laughter, and plenty of snuggles.       If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart and a joyful spirit, Jayda may be the perfect match for you. Joyful Jayda is available through Critter Cavalry Rescue.   For more information, please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com.       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 6, 2026, 1:17 am

Story
  Mr. Bob may be small in stature, but he carries the heart and wisdom of an old soul. This 5-year-old Chihuahua began life in a crowded backyard breeding situation, one of 17 little dogs trying to make sense of a world that didn’t offer much comfort. When he was finally relinquished and welcomed into rescue, everything changed — though for Mr. Bob, change takes time.   At 22 pounds (with about five to shed), this sturdy little gentleman is working toward a healthier lifestyle with proper diet and gentle exercise. But while his body is solid, his heart is tender and still learning to trust this brand-new chapter.   Mr. Bob is shy, soft-eyed, and deeply observant. He’s the kind of dog who quietly studies his surroundings, trying to understand how he got so lucky to land in a calm, loving foster home. He’s discovering that kind hands, cozy beds, and soft voices are not temporary — they’re his new normal.   He has proven to be gentle and patient with children and small dogs, though he does appreciate having his own peaceful corner to nap undisturbed. After years of living among too many dogs in a chaotic space, personal room to relax is something he treasures. He absolutely loves to cuddle and prefers to sleep close to his human at night. Fully crate trained, he sleeps soundly without a peep.   The leash is still a mystery to him and a bit frightening. He prefers quick potty breaks and then hustling back inside where he feels safe. We suspect he never had much outdoor experience before. With patience and reassurance, he will continue building confidence at his own pace.   Mr. Bob would thrive either as an only dog or with just one calm companion. More than anything, he longs for a steady, devoted person who will be his life coach — someone with patience, understanding, and unconditional love to help him blossom.   He doesn’t need chaos. He doesn’t need adventure.He just needs someone who sees the quiet beauty in a shy little soul learning how to trust.   If you feel called to give Mr. Bob the safe, gentle future he deserves, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.         PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 4, 2026, 11:33 am

Story
Meet Paco — your little shadow with a big heart. Paco is a 1-year-old Chihuahua with a playful spirit and the sweetest little smile. He may be a bit nervous when meeting new people, but give him a little patience and he warms up quickly into a loving, loyal companion. Paco is very affectionate and loves to be wherever his people are — especially if that means curling up in your lap. He truly is a cuddle bug and would happily sleep snuggled up beside you at night. He enjoys playing with toys and is very treat motivated (cheese is his absolute favorite!). Paco would love a doggy playmate and does great with dogs of all sizes. He happily ignores cats. Because he can be a little mouthy during play, a home without toddler-aged children would be best for him. Paco is house trained. He walks nicely on a leash and absolutely loves car rides. If you’re looking for a playful, loyal little best friend who will stick by your side, Paco is ready to meet you. 💙 Adoption fee: $300 The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, neuter, and microchip.
