Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Lucky came to us as a local surrender as part of an unplanned litter.  He was born on September 3rd and both parents are true mutts!  Our best guess on breeds based on his looks is golden retriever and possibly australian shepherd.  We really aren't sure. Lucky is a very sweet boy who is definitely a people pup!  He does fine in the company of other dogs, but is happiest when he is with his people.   Being that he came from a very large litter of 12 puppies, he didn't get much training.  His foster family has been working hard with him.  He is picking up house training, but is not a fan of the crate.  He is getting a little better, but it's a work in progress.  Being that he has a love for people, he may do best with crating in a room where he can see his people.  Lucky has been to our vets and received his rabies, distemper and bordatella vaccines.  Fecal was negative and he is current on flea/tick/heartworm preventative.  His adoption fee is $450.If you are interested in this very handsome boy, please submit an application on our website at https://worthytails.rescuegroups.org.  For any questions, please send an email to jessie.wilson@comcast.net.Thank you for your interest in a rescue puppy!PA Kennel License #18991Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 24, 2026, 9:01 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Stormy came to us as a local surrender from an unplanned litter. She was born on September 3rd, and while both parents are true mixed breeds, our best guess based on her looks is that she may have some Golden Retriever and possibly Australian Shepherd in her background. Her exact breed mix is a bit of a mystery! Stormy is a very sweet girl and a total people pup. She enjoys being around other dogs but is happiest when she’s with her humans. Since she came from a very large litter of 12 puppies, she didn’t get much early training. Her crate training is going well—she’s content as long as she can see her people nearby. House training is still a work in progress, especially with all the snow and cold weather (though Stormy absolutely loves playing in the snow!). Stormy has shown some mild food resource guarding, which is understandable given her start in such a big litter. She doesn’t need to be an only dog, but any family with other dogs should be aware and willing to help her continue learning that food will always be available. With time and consistency, we expect this to improve. Because of this, Stormy would do best in a home with some dog experience. Stormy has been to the vet and is up to date on her rabies, distemper, and bordetella vaccines. Her fecal test was negative, and she is current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $450. If you’re interested in this beautiful girl, please submit an application on our website athttps://worthytails.rescuegroups.org If you have any questions, feel free to email jessie.wilson@comcast.net. Thank you for considering adopting a rescue puppy—we appreciate your interest in Stormy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.NOTE- INDIGO IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ASKING TO REHOME THEIR PET.  PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Indigo is a big-hearted sweetheart with an incredibly loving and gentle soul. She is affectionate, eager to please, and thrives on human connection. With kids, she is especially joyful—she loves greeting them and often shows her excitement with wagging tails, happy body language, and sweet kisses. She grew up around kids and absolutely adores them. Her playful spirit really shines when she’s outside, where she adores running around the yard, chasing balls, and proudly carrying sticks like little treasures. In fact, she does the cutest “gazelle” hops just from pure excitement!  With adults, Indigo does best with slow, calm introductions, though she is certainly curious of new people. New situations and unfamiliar people can sometimes feel overwhelming for her at first, but once she has time to settle in and build trust, she forms deep, loyal bonds and becomes an incredibly devoted companion. She is extremely motivated, responsive, and genuinely wants to make her people happy. Indigo does well greeting other dogs in public settings, though she also needs slow and controlled introductions as well. She would thrive best as the only dog in a household. She enjoys being the center of attention and benefits from having consistent affection and one-on-one time, which allows her to feel secure and confident in her environment. Overall, Indigo is a loving, playful, and loyal dog who has so much affection to give. With patience, understanding, and a calm home, she will reward her future fur-ever family with endless love, joy, and companionship. Indigo Is located in Springfield, VA.  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING INDIGO, PLEASE CONTACT:Valerie Thach Email: valerie.gthach@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 4, 2026, 11:52 am

Story
Hello there! Can I have a little sniff? Oh, that`s lovely. Thanks! Now how about some pets? My name is Dooby! I`m almost 5 years old and I`m a happy, smiley boy with a beautiful curly, golden coat! I might need a moment to warm up, but if you`re patient with me (or if you have my favorite delicacies on hand: cheese or hotdogs!), I`ll be happy to reward you with some cuddles in no time. Once I`ve gotten comfortable, you`ll get all the tail wags and I might just try to give you a big, full-body hug! Maybe I can fit my whole body in your lap? Let`s find out! Come see me, I can`t wait to meet my new best friend! Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2

Story
Ahoy! I’m Skipper, a handsome seven-year-old pup with a heart full of love and loyalty. Don’t let my age fool you—I still have plenty of energy to chase my toys and enjoy a good game of fetch. But when playtime is over, I’m more than happy to transform into the ultimate couch potato and keep you company for a cozy movie night.I think I’m a big lap dog (and honestly, I’m pretty good at it!). I’m sweet, laid-back, and always ready to shower you with affection. Give me a little time to get comfortable, and you`ll see just how wonderful and loving I am. Recently, I went on a field trip to an office, and guess what? I was an amazing companion! I made new friends, enjoyed tasty treats, and relaxed like a pro. I’m the perfect mix of playful and easygoing—ready to fit right into your life.If you’re looking for a playful and devoted friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, I’m your guy. Come meet me and see why I’m the perfect mix of fun and relaxation!Interested in adopting me? I am in a foster home so things need to be done a little differently. We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then calling the shelter to let them know you are interested in meeting me! Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.

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 January 27, 2026, 1:19 pm
