Story
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. ​ June 19, 2026, 9:02 pm

Story
Maya is a very cuddly easy going dog. She is generally very quiet and is not needy at all. She enjoys lounging around her people and is very food motivated. She also loves going on walks. She will bark at new people who enter the home but usually relaxes after a bit and enjoys pets/cuddles.Unfortunately she is not good with other dogs and can get very aggressive when she comes across one. This makes it very difficult to walk her and give her adequate exercise. Randomly she can be okay with other dogs and generally cohabitates okay with our older dog (with some bullying).We have a one year old child. Maya was uninterested during infant stage and is tolerant with pets/pokes now. We do not allow them to be close together without arms length supervision. We love this dog very much but we are going to have another baby and our older dog has more needs. We believe for everyone’s quality of life it is better to rehome Maya if we can find a good fit.

If interested in Fran the Nanny, apply here:https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CPAR/DogFran the Nanny is 3 years old and 11 lbs, and she is a tiny package full of personality. Just like her namesake, she brings a little sass, a lot of charm, and keeps things interesting wherever she goes.Fran is a Sato, which is a Puerto Rican street dog, and like many Satos she is resilient, expressive, and deeply loyal once she bonds with her people. She is sweet and affectionate but also has a feisty, confident side that makes her incredibly fun to be around.She is leash trained and potty trained, and she is currently working on getting comfortable in her crate. Fran enjoys being around people and will happily soak up attention, but she also has that spunky little attitude that makes her stand out in the best way.If you are looking for a small dog with a big personality who will make you laugh and keep life entertaining, Fran the Nanny might just be your perfect match. Fran would do best in a home as an only dog. However, she does love cats.Fran is being fostered in Crofton, MD.PLEASE READ:Any dog that is house or potty trained will still need patience in a new home with new people and a new schedule. Please be ready to train ANY dog you adopt!Also, please understand we can not guarantee breed or full grown size of any young dog or puppy.Thank you for understanding.
