Story
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&#226&#128&#139 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 March 9, 2026, 1:23 pm

Story
Melody is a beautiful, intelligent girl who is currently in training and making wonderful progress while she waits for the right forever home. Inside the home, Melody shows just how sweet and smart she truly is. She already knows “sit” and “paw,” is working on polite dinner manners, and she takes treats like a gentle princess. She loves food puzzles for enrichment, her stuffies, and a good game of tug, and she enjoys spending time bonding with her people.   Melody’s story began in Texas, where she was found abandoned in a rural area, left to fend for herself before being rescued. Despite that difficult start, Melody has shown incredible resilience and continues to blossom with patience, structure, and love.   Melody has been living in a busy city environment, which can be overwhelming for some dogs. Because of this, we believe Melody would thrive in a quieter home with a yard where she has space to relax and play. She’s a strong, athletic girl who enjoys movement and enrichment, and having room to stretch her legs will help her truly shine.   Melody is currently working with training, and she is a very smart dog who enjoys learning and engaging with her people. She forms strong bonds with her humans and loves being part of the daily routine.   She gets along well with other dogs her size, and would do best with larger dog companions rather than small dogs, simply because of her strength and playful style.   Melody is looking for a home that will continue providing structure, enrichment, and lots of love while she keeps building her skills and confidence. In the right environment, this sweet and playful girl will make an incredibly loyal companion.   Adoption Details Adoption fee: $300 Spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped Currently in training and learning new skills every day   If you’re looking for a smart, loving, playful dog who will thrive with space and guidance, Melody may be the perfect match for you.   Apply to adopt: pepspalsrescue.org/adopt   ##2607108##

Story
This is my sweet girl, Lady. She is 3years old, as of December 25th, 2025. Lady is spayed, fully house broken, around 95-105lbs, pure bred Bi-color German Shepherd. She does great with kids, and people, but has to be the only animal as she is highly aggressive towards them. No cats, other dogs etc I adopted her last November 11, 2024. She has since been my very best friend, and more importantly, family. However with my health, and nature of work, I am now unable to give her as much attention as she deserves. Lady is very energetic, loves to play and run around so a spacey backyard (**preferably fenced in**) is absolutely necessary. She is used to multi-mile walks each day, toys and puzzles for mental stimulation when attention isn't available from myself or others. Lady needs a family that loves to play, plenty of toys, belly rubs are her utmost favorite thing is this world, and plenty of love. She needs to be adopted by the 11th, as care after that date can no longer be provided.

Story
Otis is an amazing dog, I've had him for 3 years and he's become my best friend. The only reason I have to give him up is because I am a broke college student and currently have a lot going on and I'm not able to give Otis the time he deserves. He loves to play and has a lot of energy. He's the perfect person to take with you on hikes and walks, and I've even taken him with me on a kayak. He gets protective when other dogs are around but if you slowly introduce him he makes friends pretty well.
