Meet Jitterbug, a 5‑month‑old bundle of energy who lives up to her name in every possible way. She’s a wild child in the very best sense—full of curiosity, zoomies, and that fearless puppy spark that makes every day an adventure.Jitterbug is looking for a home that embraces her playful chaos and is excited to help her grow into her best self. Because of her intensity, intelligence, and working‑breed tendencies, she will thrive with an adopter who has experience with German Shepherd Dogs and understands how to channel that big puppy brain in positive, structured ways.She’s at the perfect age to start learning basic manners and potty training, and she’s eager to soak up guidance from her people.

With proper introductions and continued training, she can do well with kids and even cats who understand puppy enthusiasm.If you’re ready for a spirited, joyful pup who will keep you laughing and moving, Jitterbug is ready to wiggle her way into your life.JitterBug's adoption fee is $250, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.

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. ​ April 29, 2026, 10:55 pm
