Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Jericho is a young, smart, spirited GSD who is currently being fostered with 9 other dogs and it's time for his own home. His foster would love to see him in a home with a fairly active family looking for an active dog who enjoys sports like rally or fast cat. A younger family, preferably no children since he's a big ill-mannered puppy. He'll need a home dedicated to training and working with a professional. He loves car rides and adventures.  He can settle in the crate, and doesn't have an exuberant amount of energy;  20 minutes running around and he's good for a nap. Jericho loves fetch and he's learning DROP IT. He loves to play with toys with the other dogs and have them tug. He likes working for treats and has started  place board training. He knows SIT and is working on GENTLE, COME, LEAVE IT and DROP. Currently, he chases cats but is learning to leave them alone. Two weeks ago, he started treatment for Lyme disease. He is a loving, happy, and energetic dog who will flourish in a home that understands the GSD breed and is dedicated to his training.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Simba is a gentle, affectionate 9 year old GSD who is looking for a new forever family.   Simba is a  well-loved Capitol Hill, DC, resident who is healthy, intelligent, friendly, playful and above all, loyal.  He is calm and adaptable and used to living in small spaces. His current family has made the decision to move to South Asia in May 2024 and believe that it is in Simba's best interest to stay here where he can continue his quality of life and vet care if needed. Simba is friendly with other dogs but puppies have too much energy for a 9 year old dog. He socializes with other dogs on his walks;  he says hi to other dogs for a few minutes and continues his walk. He's a gentle giant. He's the only dog in the family but he's very used to staying with other dogs during dog sitting and would be okay living with another dog especially older dogs. He responds to basic commands such as SIT, LAY DOWN, TURN-AROUND, UP/DOWN, HEAL.  He's well trained. on and off the leash. Simba is good around kids;  he's a family dog and is used to being around my niece/nephew ages between 2 and 5 years. Simba is looking for a caring, loving and active family or individual who is familiar with caring for large breeds and is dedicated to giving him a life of endless love, walks, and adventures.

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 permenant 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 27, 2024, 7:25 pm
