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. &#226&#128&#139 January 8, 2026, 1:49 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Pablo is a sweet, smart, energetic and loyal 5 year old GSD who needs a new home through no fault of his own; a senior member of the family does not want him in the household and the current environment is not healthy for Pablo.  His current family want to find him a safe and loving forever home. Pablo enjoys car rides, long walks and adores belly rubs.  He will  flourish with a family or person who is an experienced GSD owner, who is patient and can provide a calm, structured, stable environment with lots of exercise and training.  He is very loving and attentive, but can sometimes be anxious and reactive, particularly around other dogs and strangers.   He loves playing fetch, tug-of-war and being chased. Squeaky toys are a must. Balls and anything that he can chew on and chase are good too.  He knows basic commands and hand signals. He knows SIT, STAY, COME, PAW, HI FIVE, GO TO BED, DROP IT, HOME, OPEN THE DOOR and LAY DOWN. Pablo needs an adult only home where he is the one-and-only dog and there are no other pets.  If you are a family or person with GSD experience who is looking for an active and loving companion dog, and have time to spend with Pablo exercising, playing and training, Pablo is your boy.  Start the new year right and share your life and adventures with this devoted dog. PLEASE NOTE : THE DOG LISTED IS SHOWN AS A COURTESY TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION OR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR THEIR DOG. ASR    HAS NOT EVALUATED THIS DOG AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING EITHER THE TEMPERAMENT OR THE HEALTH OF THE DOG.  YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT THE INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION LISTED  TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS DOG AND TO DETERMINE IF THE DOG MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOUR SITUATION.  ALL INQUIRIES REGARDING THIS DOG MUST    BE DIRECTED TO THE CONTACT LISTED BELOW  Lexylemus@yahoo.com   ALL SHEPHERD RESCUE HAS NO INVOLVEMENT  IN ANY ADOPTION THAT MAY RESULT.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 7, 2026, 10:05 pm

Story
IDGSR Welcomes ZANE into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Zane and I'm a handsome 1.5yr old male German Shepherd. I am located near Greeneville, TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 1.5yrs old Kids: will do fine with teenagers (13+) or adult only home Dogs: good with other large female dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. I have been failed by humans many times in my short 1.5yrs of life. I was at a high kill shelter ready for euthanasia when IDGSR saved me. I was then adopted & returned because it takes me some time to decompress. 2. I'm a sweet boy with a lost soul. I've never had a family that loves me and I'm desperate for one. 3. My forever adopter needs to be a strong leader with a patient heart. I need guidance, socialization, and training. I'm a very smart boy but I just need a leader. 4. Will you paw-promise to train me? I want to learn how to be an obedient boy and do all the cool things the big dogs do. I want to learn recall, leash walking, place command, down, sit, stay, & anything else you can teach me! 5. I would love to go on walks or hikes with you! I'm an active boy and can keep up with your energy. 6. If you are looking to help change a life and get unlimited love & loyalty in return, adopting me will be your greatest achievement in 2026! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY! If you are not 100% ready to adopt, please wait** ************** ***IMPORTANT ADOPTION INFORMATION*** -ALL dogs are fostered in TENNESSEE unless otherwise noted -We do transport dogs to the east coast; a transport fee will apply -All dogs are up-to-date on vaccinations, heart-worm testing, monthly preventatives, & are spayed or neutered -Puppies under 6-months of age will require a SPAY/NEUTER CONTRACT, a portion of the adoption fee will be refunded upon documentation of the spay/neuter -An application must be submitted before scheduling an appointment to meet a dog -Dogs are introduced to prospective adopters BY APPOINTMENT ONLY -Due to the high volume of emails we receive, first priority will be given to those with submitted applications -All rescue work is done by dedicated volunteers, please be respectful of their time -Not able to adopt?
