Story
Meet Ink, a five‑month‑old Lab/Basset Hound mix who’s ready to bring his big personality into a new home. Ink came to us from Caroline Humane along with his siblings. While some of the litter headed off to another rescue, Ink and his brother Quill made their way here. Ink is the more outgoing of the two, full of playful energy and always eager to explore whatever catches his attention.This little guy loves to bark, especially when he’s excited or trying to get someone to join in on the fun. He’s goofy, social, and always looking for something to do. Ink is still working on his potty training and will need a family willing to help him continue learning his basic commands. With patience, consistency, and plenty of playtime, Ink will grow into a wonderfully fun, loyal companion. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!

Please contact the foster directly at 856-275-6905 (call or text) 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!

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.
