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.

Toby

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Puppy

Middletown, DE

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Toby is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic 9-month-old dog (born in April 2025) who has been deeply loved and cared for as part of our family. Making the decision to rehome him has been incredibly difficult, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we’re no longer able to provide the environment he truly needs to thrive. This decision is being made out of love and concern for Toby’s well-being. Toby is a happy, people-loving dog who enjoys playtime, attention, and having space to run. He would do best in a home with a securely fenced backyard, where he can safely burn off energy and enjoy outdoor time. He thrives with structure, engagement, and consistency. We are committed to finding Toby a responsible, loving, forever home and are taking our time to ensure the right match. This is not an urgent placement and not a shelter situation.

Story

We adopted Pinto (formerly Stanley) from the Brandywine Valley SPCA in 2022. He was born on 08/02/2022. He is a mixed breed, mostly white dog who is deaf. He loves to play, chew on sticks, and be outdoors. He gets along well with our other dog. He does not seem bothered by cats but ours do not do well with him. He does well walking on a leash and enjoys going for long walks at parks. He does have a microchip and has been neutered. He is up to date on shots. He eats dry food and enjoys chewing on bones. He has not had any training by us. Pinto is a very sweet dog who needs a space to run and play. He loves attention. We will provide new owner with any paperwork we have on him as well as any supplies/food we have, including a crate.

Graham

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 5 yrs 1 mo

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!
