Story
Please contact Darlene at 302-312-5129 (fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  This dog is located in Newark, 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 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. ​ May 21, 2026, 1:52 pm

Keke

German Shepherd Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Selbyville, 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,
Story
Keke is a 6-year-old mixed-breed dog, possibly a shepherd/pit mix, who we rescued in 2021. She is silly, sweet, and incredibly empathetic, with a loving personality that shines in the home. She is fully potty trained, enjoys car rides, and thrives with structure and routine. Keke is leash-reactive around other dogs, so we use a harness for better control and safety. Recently, we had a traumatic altercation where she attacked our older dog. She already exhibited signs of resource guarding around dogs that we managed, but we now no longer feel she can safely live in a home with another dog. Because of this, she needs to be the only pet in her next home. She would do best in a calm, quiet environment with a strong routine, ideally with someone who is home often. A fenced-in yard would be a great fit for her. Keke has so much love to give and deserves a home that understands her needs and can provide the stability and companionship where she can truly thrive.

Auri

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult
Wilmington, DE
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Auri is a full-grown, TINY (45 lb) GSD (possible mix) She had a rough past prior to her adoption but has grown into strong, happy pup. She is definitely a complicated lady who is working through some baggage but she has come a long way and will be a loyal, loving companion to the right adopters! Auri is an anxious and reactive pup. She can get pretty excited when she sees other dogs and gets upset around strangers, particularly in her house. She will nip at people if she feels threatened but has learned bite inhibition. All that having been said, she has come a LOOONG way since we adopted her and I believe she can continue to grow with the right training and the right home situation. Auri would do well in a home with a fairly predictable schedule with humans that can take her for long walks and play with her and her toys. She is an absolute sweetheart who likes cuddles and licks noses. She is housetrained and not much of a barker (whining on the other hand...)
