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. ​ October 18, 2026, 7:16 pm

Story
What a wonderful little Chihuahua boy our Jupiter is and up .  This dear gentle boy is 7 years old and only 8 lbs.  He is just the perfect lap boy! As gentle as he is looks with his piercing dark brown eyes and his easy way of becoming your friends.  He is a soft soul that is a little unsure of himself in life.  He has been treated badly in the past and we are here to change the path of his life and make it one of security and love. He is housebroken and crate trained and loves to curl up in his little dog bed and sleep after a nice play session.  He acts much younger than his 7 years.  He is around many other dogs and fits in like a glove, like he has always been there.  Please consider giving this boy the next and best 10 years of his life.  We know he has that kind of longevity in him.  Jupiter will be a blessing in  your life.  Please contact us at Critter Cavalry at ccrnewengland@gmail.com    PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.October 18, 2026, 5:48 pm

Story
Nelly is a shy boy. He’s a 10 pound, 7-year-old Chihuahua mix who prefers to be alone. Maybe that’s because he spent his previous life in a hoarding situation and now he’d like some alone time. Whatever the reason, he’ll open up more with time and your patience. He’s treat motivated and enjoys stuffies and fluffy dog beds. With time and a bit of work, not to mention treats, this is a boy who will settle down into a happy life with you! (posted 10/17/26, ME) ' 'Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $170.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** ' ' 'October 18, 2026, 4:20 pm

Story
Rocko is a very affectionate dog. He loves attention and staying close to his people. I adopted him in July of 2025. They listed his age as two, so he's around three years old now. He's great with kids and is good with other dogs, but he does not get along with cats. I am looking to rehome him because he craves quality time together, and I'm unable to provide enough of it because of my schedule. Please reach out with any questions.

Story
If you’re anything like me, big eyes will get you every time. Such is the case with our little girl named Dorian, a 10-year-old, Chihuahua mix. You might even say that her eyes are the only things about her that aren’t little! You see, she only weighs 8 pounds, and, because of that and her age, children in the home should be older than ten years or have experience handling small dogs. Dorian came to us from a hoarding situation and loves stuffies and a fluffy bed. She’s a calm girl with low energy who is dog friendly and attention seeking. Can you blame her? Oh, just look into those big eyes so filled with love!
