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. &#226&#128&#139 December 21, 2025, 12:40 pm

Story
Here’s a polished version of Theo’s adoption post—still in his voice but shorter, clearer, and eye-catching while keeping all the important details:  Hi, I’m Theo (you may remember me as Buttersquash)!  I had a rough start in life and was so abused I could barely be touched. With patience and love from my foster mom, I’ve blossomed into a happy, ball-chasing, life-loving, cuddly boy—on my terms of course (I even bring out my “inner feline” sometimes ).  I’m about 3 years old, fully vetted, and one very special pup: &#226&#156&#168 Must have a completely fenced yard (non-negotiable—no leashes or leads for me). &#226&#156&#168 No kids and no cats (I pester them too much). &#226&#156&#168 Another playful dog would be awesome! &#226&#156&#168 I need a family experienced with anxious dogs who will give me patience, time, and love. &#226&#156&#168 I do have dry eye and need to be sedated at the vet, but my foster mom keeps me trimmed and handsome at home.  I’m funny, unique, and full of love once I trust you. If you love to play ball and are ready for a loyal best friend, I’m your boy. Apply at: www.affrescue.com Questions? Call/text 215-676-3318  What are you waiting for? I’m ready for my forever family!   Do you want me to also make a shorter “social media caption version” to grab attention quickly, and then link to the longer description?  October 7, 2025, 10:54 pm

PA Kennel License #5254Wags Rescue & ReferralSouthampton Pa 18966Available 12/13/2025 Originated fromMaggie Society DL# 16405Wilson NC 27893 Female Spayed 8 months old Georgia is a delightfully silly puppy with a heart as sweet as her personality. She has aone-of-a-kindpranceimagine a giraffe mixed with a young filly, with a little elephant soundtrack for flairand she proudly struts through a room like she owns the place. Her gait may be a bit wonky, but her charm is perfectly balanced. At just 8 months old, Georgia is still very much a puppy. She can get a little mouthy when shesextraexcited, but its all part of her goofy enthusiasm for life. She adores toys, absolutely loves other dogs, and is happiest when she has a buddy to play with. Georgia would do best in afirst-floor living situation, as stairs are still a mystery she hasnt quite solved yet. Shes rocking a cute gray-and-black wiry coat and is doing great withhouse training and crate training. Leash walking is a work in progress, but shes eager to learn and ready to keep practicing. If youre looking for a joyful, funny, slightly clumsy puppy who will make you laugh daily and fill your home with love (and happy stomp-stomp sounds), Georgia just might be your girl.
