Banshee

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Middletown, DE

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Although it will break all the pieces of my heart, we have to rehome Banshee our black GSD. The reason isn't for anything she has done, but she is far too high energy and my wife with her PTSD has reacted poorly to her frenetic pace over the last two years. Adding to that, she has never quite gotten accustomed to our cats, who she stalks constantly. With my wife worrying about all of these, it has been unhealthy for her and it isn't fair to our other dogs (2) and various cats (6) who have essentially been banished to side rooms that we can make safe for them. Our wish is that Banshee simply go to a good home with kind people who don't have cats. Ideally people who are young and active enough to keep her engaged and direct some of her boundless energy towards more positive outlets. She is sweet around people, but her default position around unknown dogs is to assert dominance and there have been a few disagreements with her brother dogs.

Miah

Black Mouth Cur

Female, Adult

Odessa, DE

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Miah is an absolutely happy girl, never met a stranger, loves to play ball, run with you and make you laugh. She's enthusiastic and energetic. House trained, rides well in the car, has been boarded while we're on vacation, has a great time with the other dogs in group playtime. Crate and kennel trained. The ONLY reason we'd like to find a new home for her, our 83 year old mother in law has come to live with us. She's struggles to walk, and has memory issues. Miah's enthusiasm inadvertently has caused mom to fall a few times, when she spins to get more pets. She means NO harm, just sooo happy to interact with you. Since mom is here to stay, its not fair to keep Miah in her when inside to protect mom. We thought if she had a fun home willing to enjoy her, all the better for her.

Penny

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Female, Puppy

Townsend, DE

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

Penny is a 6 month old puppy who we rescued from the SPCA in February 2026. She is a very active puppy that enjoys running, taking walks, playing with toys (by herself or with you), and eating. She is a loving dog that jumps a lot. She is crate trained and semi-house trained. Due to a recent change in the health of the primary caretaker, we are not able to provide her with the energetic lifestyle she needs and deserves. She has spent time around our children and does well, but is very energetic. She hasn't been around other animals since we rescued her, so we do not know how she does interacting with other dogs or cats. She is up-to-date on her shots, is microchipped, and spayed. We did the dog DNA and found out her breed is primarily staffordshire bull terrier.

Malachi

Mutt

Male, Adult

Bear, DE

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Malachi is a sweet, gentle dog who loves quietly but deeply. He is slow to warm up, but once he trusts you, he is devoted — happiest curled up in your lap, giving the daintiest little kisses.I want to be honest about his challenges. Malachi has fear and anxiety that developed a few months after coming to live with me. He is scared of many things, and his fear can make him reactive. He has had professional training and has never bitten, but the potential exists with any fearful dog, and his next home needs to understand that.Ideal home: experienced with anxious dogs, calm and quiet, adults or older dog-savvy kids, willing to continue his training at his pace.I am fully committed to a smooth transition — proper meet and greet, follow-up visits if needed, and sharing everything I know about his triggers, routine, and what makes him feel safe.With the right person, Malachi will give you his whole heart.

Graham

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 5 yrs 4 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!
