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. ​ September 17, 2026, 4:58 pm

Story
Ace is a 5-year-old German Shepherd. He is energetic, alert, intelligent, and well-trained. Due to his owner’s health circumstances, we unfortunately need to find him a suitable new home. We are hoping to find Ace an active family who can give him plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. Ideally, his new family will have experience with German Shepherds and will not have any other large dogs. Since Ace has never lived in a home with young children, we are unsure how he would interact with them.

He has all of his yearly check up’s and shot records. He has boarding experience from training and boarded when we went on vacation. Loving dog just needs a lot of love and exercise.

Story
It's hard to get rid of my boy but my work schedule has changed. Gusto who just turned 3 is a Malinois Shepherd mixed. He has the body size of a Shepherd 100lbs but everything else is Malinois. He's extremely smart and protective once he's comfortable at home. He has great recall when off the leash and is 100% house and crate trained. He has the prey drive of a typical working Malinois with a great off switch once in the house. That's what made having him so peaceful. Once he's at home,he will lay around with you until it's time for his walk. He's ok with other dogs as long as they don't get out of line. He will smell them and then go about his business. He has no interest in playing with dogs at the dog park. Feel free to call or text (xxx) xxx-xxxx
