Story
Meet Skye 3 Years Old • Jack Russell Terrier / Mix • Approx. 43 lbs •Spayed Female • Available in Shelter Compatibility & Care Dogs: Selective (Best as only dog in home) Cats: Unknown Small Animals: Unknown Children: Adult-only home recommended due to resource guarding history Energy Level: Medium-High Best Home: Active home with plenty of exercise and enrichment Medical Needs: None known Special Diet: No special diet • Would benefit from monitored portions and regular exercise Training: House trained • Crate trained • Knows basic commands 💙 About Skye "Skye doesn't walk through life... she zooms!" If you're looking for a dog who's always ready for the next adventure, Skye is your girl! This energetic, fun loving pup is happiest when she's on the move, whether she's going for a walk, chasing a toy, or showing off her lightning fast zoomies around the yard. Skye loves to play and isn't picky about her toys. Balls, ropes, squeaky toys, she'll happily enjoy them all. She especially loves a good game of tug and will keep you laughing with her playful personality. She's a smart girl who is eager to learn, especially when treats are involved. Skye already knows several basic commands, is house trained, crate trained, and understands the command "crate." Like many active dogs, Skye can get a little overexcited during playtime and will benefit from continued structure, exercise, and positive reinforcement to help her be the best companion she can be. Skye previously lived with another dog but wasn't the right match for her canine housemate. Because of this, she may do best as the only dog or with a compatible dog after a successful meet and greet. If your idea of the perfect companion is a dog who loves adventures, keeps you active, and is always ready to have fun, Skye is ready to meet you! Skye's Best Qualities ✔️ Friendly and people oriented ✔️ Loves walks and outdoor adventures ✔️ Extremely playful and entertaining ✔️ Smart and treat motivated ✔️ House trained ✔️ Crate trained ✔️ Knows basic commands ✔️ Loves toys and games of tug ✔️ Full of personality and always keeps life exciting 📍 Come meet Skye at Caroline County Humane Society 407 W. Belle Street, Ridgely, MD www.carolinehumane.org adoptions@carolinehumane.org 410-820-1600

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. ​ August 14, 2026, 7:51 pm

Story
Marc was left tied to a fence at a local shopping area. When his owner didn't return for him, concerned residents contacted our department. The investigation ran into dead ends in each direction Officer pursued, and now this little guy is ready to move on in life and put his past behind him.This little guy is crate trained, wonderful on a leash, loves to play with toys and would you just LOOK at that HAIR?! This guy is an absolute rockstar! He'll meet you at door when you get home and give you that look, you know, the one that says "no matter what happened today you are home now, and I'll keep you safe, snuggle up with you and give you a reason to smile" How can you go wrong with that? Marc is a great doggo and we don't think he'll stick around for long, so if you think he's handsome and might just be the friend you've been looking for then act fast!If you are interested in adopting this pet, please visit http://health.vinelandcity.org/forms and complete the Pet Adoption form.
