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.

Please contact Marilyn at 856-275-6905 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 856-275-6905 (call or text) 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. ​ June 8, 2026, 5:32 am
