Lucy is obsessed with playing ball, she will play as long as you keep throwing it. She is getting up there in age and would do best in a home without little dogs or little kids.

Story
Alf is 9 years old, neutered, and about 75 lbs...I adopted Alf 2.5 years ago, but a recent change in my job requires frequent travel for extended periods of time, so I need to find him a more suitable home...Alf is a social dog who is also gentle with kids and would be a great family dog...He is playful and adventurous, always ready to jump in the car for an outing. However, he is just as happy curled up chilling next to his favorite humans. He also loves tennis balls and all sorts of chew toys...Alf had some separation anxiety when I first adopted him. That subsided as he became certain that he was in a safe, trusting home. He currently takes some medication to help manage that. Other than that, Alf has a clean bill of health and is up to date on all his shots...Alf's ideal home would be one where he is the only dog in the house (king of the castle!), and I suggest no cats either. Someone who works from home would be great, but it isn't necessary since I do not work from home.

Story
We have had Nova since she was 3 months old. She is now 5 and will be 6 in march. Shes always been a sweetheart to people. Has never bit even as a puppy. She is very high energy and needs a lot of exercise and love and sadly we have not been able to give that to her. She sadly does not do well with any other animals and needs to be the only animal in the house. Our new home will not allow higher fences and we have many other dogs around us and cats and this has not been a good environment for her. She would do great in a big yard with a high fence and being able to be walked regularly. Would love to find her a great new home and owner to give her all the love she will give back.

Story
Firstly this is isn’t a choice taken lightly. It’s important he is loved and cuddled. He’s quiet and crated trained. He’s shown aggression to other dogs but never been put in a situation that it was more than him showboating. Never wanted to risk it! So here he and I are looking for someone who wants warms cuddles and has a budget for unlimited pup cups (Romeo asked that I include that). Come meet this lovely gentleman. Very very people and kids friendly.

Please contact Denise at 610-656-1291 (Fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  This dog is located in New Castle, 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 610-656-1291 (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. &#226&#128&#139 November 28, 2025, 3:17 pm
