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!

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).

Story
Bingos an 8-year-old family dog, his mom was our dog, and his brothers are with my uncles. He needs a new home with someone who’s gonna love him like crazy and take super good care of him; like he’s their own kid. He’s used to being spoiled with love, so we need to make sure he doesn’t miss that. He’s a pretty chill and loving dog, doesn’t bark much unless someone’s at the door. Big fan of food and long walks, and he usually sleeps with me and loves being outside, so he’s not into crates at all. Located in West Chester, PA

Story
Hi!  My name is ToTo and I am looking for a forever home.  I along with lots of other dogs were part of the dogs BCAA stepped up for when a puppy mill was closing and reached out for help.  Many of us were so matted that we had to be shaved down which included me, but my hair is starting to grow back and I am now starting to look like the schnauzer I am supposed to be.  I only weigh around 10lbs and at about 10mos old, I shouldn't get much bigger.  I was so scared when I first came into foster, I first went to a Dog Prison Program where I got lots of one-on-one attention, and while I'm still on the shy and skittish side my foster mom that I'm with now says I've come such a long way from when she first met me, and with continued patience, TLC and some treats says I'm going ot make a really good boy.  I have gotten along with the other small dogs I have met and would love to find a home with another dog that I could look to for some guidance in navigating dealing with everyone.  I have done really well in my crate without any accidents, barking or tearing up of any bedding.  I love my food and treats.  While in the Prison Program, I learned about a leash and surprised my foster mom with how good I was walking on one.  If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

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
