Story

My daughter fell in love with khaleesi while visiting the SPCA in Old New Castle in 2020. She has been nothing but a loving mush ever since. (6 months later we found out she has a tumor in her bladder-has not grown). She never barks. The only times we have ever heard her bark was when she was protecting somebody in the family and even then it was only one singular bark. She absolutely loves people and has a natural curiosity for other animals. Her worst character trait is that she thinks she is a lapdog. She thrives on attention and cuddles. Now that she is 12 years old, she does require additional attention and pee breaks. Over the last 6 years, our family has changed drastically between deployments & new additions & we simply just don’t have the time to offer her that she needs. Being that she is an older dog, we would love for her to be w/ somebody that needs a companion by their side and can provide her with the best love and care for her remaining years. Someone with a large yard.

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

🐾 Bonded 8-Year-Old Chihuahuas Seeking Quiet Home 🐾 Vinny and Penny are an 8-year-old brother and sister pair who have been together their whole lives. They are healthy, crate trained, potty trained, and very low-energy lap dogs who love relaxing with their person, short walks, and sunny spots. They need a calm, predictable adult-only home with no other pets. Their reactivity is fear-based, and they thrive in a quiet environment. Penny warms up fairly quickly; Vinny can be more cautious. This is a heartbreaking decision, but our home with young children and another dog has become unsafe for them. We want them to have the peaceful life they deserve.

Toby

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Puppy

Middletown, DE

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Toby is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic dog (born April 2025) who has been deeply loved as part of our family. Rehoming him is incredibly difficult, but unfortunately our cats have not been able to accept him. Toby is very friendly toward them—his tail wags every time he sees them and he only wants to sniff and play—but the cats react with stress and have begun spraying in the house. Because of this, we have had to separate the home into sections, keeping Toby in one area and the cats in another. This is not a sustainable way for our family—or for Toby—to live long term. Toby deserves a home where he can move freely, get plenty of attention, and enjoy being the happy, loving dog he is.

Graham

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 5 yrs 2 mos

Bear, DE

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Graham is a very sweet and playful dog! He is one of our longest residents as he has been here since September of 2022! We took him on from another rescue, so he has not known much of the comforts of a home. He enjoys walks outside, playing with toys, and sleeping in crazy positions. He loves attention from anyone and everyone. He just wants to be loved. In his ideal home he would be the only pet as he loves all the attention to himself. He would do well with kids 10+ as he doesn’t know that he is a little to large to be a lap do. He would do best in a home with an active owner. His adoption fee is covered by an amazing sponsor. Please fill out an application to meet Graham!

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ace is a character. He is a goof ball with so much energy it is impossible to burn. We absolutely love him, which is why this is devastating for us. We are unable to give him the attention and training that he needs. After rescuing him, he started showing signs of aggression to anyone besides our household members. We started taking him to weekly training sessions and then we had a bite accident. We then took him to a board and train in attempt to fix this issue. However, when we brought him home, we had another bite accident. Unfortunately, we had a job change and now a living situation change and cannot provide the amount of training and dedication that Ace needs to make sure he is a happy dog. Ace needs a family that has experience in his breed, and experience in behavioral issues like aggression.
