Story
Meet Pickle! Fostered in Jackson NJPickle is a sweet 9-pound, approx 2-3 year old Maltese looking for a patient and understanding home where he can build confidence at his own pace. This adorable little guy is very shy and may hide under a table or find a quiet spot when he's feeling nervous. While he takes time to warm up, the reward is well worth the wait.With gentle encouragement and plenty of treats, Pickle slowly begins to trust. His favorite snacks are cheese and peanut butter, and they're a great way to win his heart! Once he feels comfortable, he'll happily come over to see what goodies you have for him.Pickle is pee pad trained and does well when left home alone. He's still learning to walk on a leash and will need a family willing to help him continue building confidence out in the world.One thing Pickle would truly love is a calm female dog companion around his size. Having a gentle canine friend to snuggle with helps him feel safe and secure, and he enjoys the comfort of another dog by his side.  For this reason, we will only consider a home for him with another female dog companion.  Due to his timidness, we are looking for a home with a fenced yard.Pickle is searching for a quiet, loving home that understands shy dogs and will give him the time he needs to come out of his shell. In return, you'll get the joy of watching a timid little dog grow into a trusting companion. If you have patience, kindness, and a soft spot for underdogs, Pickle may be the perfect addition to your family.  Pickle is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Lady’s a 7yo 10lb Maltese mix. She’s dog selective, cat and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken if kept on a schedule but will wear a diaper and use pee pads and crate trained. She’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. She’s agile, smart, likes squeaky toys, people and going for walks but will bark at people, dogs and noises. She is easy startled so best to sleep in a dog bed on the floor so not to accidentally wake her while sleeping. Lady’s foster requires a calm home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, be an only dog, brushed/groomed often to prevent matting along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Lady as all dogs should have 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lady takes medication for a seizure disorder and for her eyes. She’s spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

FOSTER UPDATE!! "Opal is a sweetheart! She settled right in her very first night with us and she loves sitting next to me. She's also been exploring our house and loves treats!" ✨Meet Opal!✨ Opal came into us as a surrender from a commercial breeding facility (aka Puppy Mill) in Lancaster County. She lived a very difficult life before and is slowly learning to trust us and her new surroundings. We know that with patience, understanding, and time, she will make a wonderful family member for the right home. Her adopters should be prepared to move slowly, keep expectations reasonable, and use positive reinforcement as she adjusts to her new surroundings and learns to feel safe. We promise there is no love like a mill mama's love! All of our animals are fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccinations, and any other necessary medical care. After adoption, dogs need time to adjust to their new homes and thrive with families who can provide exercise, enrichment, positive reinforcement training, and socialization. If you are interested in being considered for them please apply on our website at www.angelsretreat.org 💕 Angel’s Retreat West Chester, PA PA Kennel License 17335

Story
Sweet little Selena is a 6-year- old, 7 - 8 lbs Maltese, looking for a family to call her own. She likes to follow you around and investigate her surroundings. She gets along with the other dogs in her foster home and has been seen trying play / climb on one of them. She is timid of people at first but has been warming up to her foster mom and doesn't mind being picked up for a snuggle or two. She just wants to be a companion dog being with someone makes her happy. Selena does have a low-grade heart murmur and test show that her albumin is low - this means like most aging people/ dogs she will need some medicine and a special low-fat diet to keep her healthy. Despite her medical needs she is a fun feisty little girl who loves to eat and loves her beds. She is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. [PA Kennel License #07735]

Story
PA Kennel License #5254Wags Rescue & ReferralSouthampton Pa 18966 Local Surrender Matilda is a six-year-old, spayed female who came to Wags as a local surrender. She has been living in her foster home with two medium-sized dogs and three adults for a some time now. Matilda was initially shy but slowly began to feel comfortable with her new setting and learning a new routine. She sleeps quietly in her crate through the night and has proven trustworthy outside of the crate as well. She is housetrained and rarely barks. Matilda takes treats gently and is very calm while being bathed. Now that she has gained some confidence in her foster home, Matilda enjoys running around the backyard, taking walks, and, most of all, rolling in the grass. She is looking for a patient, kindhearted person who can see her potential and give her the time and space to blossom. The love Matilda gives once she trusts you is quiet, sincere, and deeply rewarding the kind of love that feels earned and extra special. Matilda really is a delightful little dog.

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. ​ September 16, 2026, 1:07 pm
