Story
NAPOLEON — Small in Size, BIG on Personality! Meet Napoleon, a handsome little guy who weighs in at around 12 pounds and is approximately 1.5-2 years old. He’s a Chihuahua mix with the cutest little underbite, which has us wondering… What exactly is this boy mixed with?! Honestly, Napoleon would be a great candidate for a DNA test because that adorable face is definitely keeping some secrets! Napoleon does well with other dogs and tends to do best with medium-sized dogs who can match his energy and play style. He may be little, but this guy doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo! One of Napoleon’s FAVORITE things is going for a ride in the car! His foster mom has discovered that loading him up for a day at doggy daycare while she’s at work is pretty much his idea of the perfect day. ❤️ Car ride? YES.
❤️ Doggy daycare? YES.
❤️ Hanging out with his dog friends? ABSOLUTELY. Napoleon’s story didn’t start out the way it should have. He came from a situation where he experienced neglect, and because of that, he has had to learn that people can be trusted. But this little guy is making progress every day, and watching him come out of his shell has been incredibly rewarding. He is learning that gentle hands, patience, consistency, car rides, doggy friends, and a loving foster home are all pretty wonderful things. He may have started life with some tough chapters, but Napoleon is writing a much happier story now. And we can’t wait to see how his next chapter ends. Napoleon is neutered, fully vetted, heartworm negative and microchipped. Please sign up for your first month of pet insurance on us!

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. ​ September 23, 2026, 10:53 am

Story
Location: Annandale, VA Hi, I'm Dobbie — a 12-year-old brown Chihuahua mix weighing just 8 pounds of pure companionship! 🐕 I'm a senior guy who loves the company of other dogs, so I'd thrive in a multi-dog household or as a friend to your existing pup. At my age, I'm all about the simple things: snuggles and quiet time with someone who appreciates a loyal little buddy. Come meet me and discover why this tiny guy has so much love to give! ❤️ This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. The disease was treated while in foster care. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable. Read about heartworm disease here: Read more about heartworm disease at https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/heartworm-basics
