Story
Hi everyone! My name is Peanut, and my vet thinks I’m around 3 years old. My story started when I was found wandering in a very rural neighborhood. Thankfully, a kind lady took me in and cared for me until the rescue could take over. Everyone was sure that someone must be looking for me, but after three weeks, no one came forward. So now I’m hoping to find the forever family I deserve. ❤️ It took me about a week to feel safe, but once I did, my true personality came shining through! I LOVE attention and would be perfectly happy being your one and only dog. The more people who pet me, cuddle me, and let me sit in their lap, the happier I am! 🥰 I don’t really play or interact with other dogs. I mostly tolerate them, but I do prefer my own space—especially when it comes to my crate and food. 🐾 A few things about me: • I walk nicely on a leash. • I really don’t like wearing a collar all day. • I’m crate trained, although I’d much rather sleep in bed with you! 😉 • I LOVE sitting in laps and being close to my people. • I learn quickly and pick up on daily routines very well. • I love riding in the car! 🚗 • I learned how to use a doggie door in just a few days. • My favorite snacks are baby carrots and cooked sweet potatoes. 🥕🍠 Honestly, I’m just an all-around great little pup looking for someone who wants a constant companion. If you want a girl who will happily be by your side 24/7, I might just be your perfect match. ❤️ I am: ✅ Up to date on vaccinations ✅ Heartworm negative ✅ Microchipped ✅ Spayed My adoption fee includes transport from Tennessee. Could you be the forever family Peanut has been waiting for? 🥜🐾❤️

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. ​ August 30, 2026, 3:44 pm
