Holly was found as a stray, taken to our kennel in Texas and then transported up to our adoption center in Chester County, Pa.

Twinkle lived at an Amish Farm in the house; however, the children let her outside and she killed the chickens. So very high prey drive. She loves children, playing in the yard and car rides.

Bear is a large goofy exuberant puppy who requires lots of exercise and patience. He clearly is a stunning dog and therefore everyone wants to take him home. He will require a dog savvy person or someone committed to following through with training and providing lots of exercise. Bear is looking for a home with a fenced in yard not an underground fence but a physical one. Bear can be protective of his toys and food, but only with other dogs. Bear is not a “dog park”dog.Please message us for more details home visit and adoption donation required

Please contact Marilyn at 856-275-6905 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 856-275-6905 (call or text) or via email at Fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com&#226&#128&#139 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 8, 2025, 11:24 am

Story
ABOUT ROCKET Rocket is a 1-year-old energetic pup looking for his adventure buddy! Sadly, he was abandoned on our property, so we don’t know much about his past, but one thing’s for sure, this pup loves life! Rocket is extremely social and affectionate, eagerly greeting everyone he meets with big hugs and a wagging tail. He’s playful, loves zooming around our fenced fields, chasing toys, and then curling up next to you for some well-earned snuggles. If you're looking for a hiking partner or an always-up-for-fun companion, Rocket might be your perfect match. He's been doing well with house and leash training since arriving with us, and he's proven to be a super sweet, active boy who thrives on attention and adventure. He has loved participating in our Doggy Day Out program too! Here's what our volunteers had to say about him: "I had a great day with Rocket. He’s such a friendly and playful pup! When I picked Rocket up from the shelter, he really lived up to his name, he came out hot! Rocket was very excited, jumping all over the place (lol), but he was very good in the car. He hopped in by himself and sat nicely in the back seat. We started the day with a long walk in the neighborhood. Rocket seemed to really enjoy it. He does pull a bit, but overall, he was really good. Rocket was pretty well-behaved in the house, he's very curious about everything and really loved playing with lots of toys. He can be mouthy and jumpy when he wants to play with you. It doesn’t hurt, he’s just an excited puppy who’s still learning and really wants to be loved. Rocket seemed to respond to “no” when corrected. When he wasn’t playing, Rocket enjoyed cuddling up by my legs and feet and getting petted. He loves getting lots of attention. Rocket is such a loving and well-behaved pup, and I hope he’s adopted soon!" - Zoe "Rocket is super sweet and friendly. He would thrive with someone who can handle his puppy energy! He jumped right into the car, enjoyed sticking his head out of the window, and laid down for the drive back. He explored everywhere on our walk, even after an hour! He seems to have a prey drive, trying to chase any wild animal (bird, squirrel, groundhog) we saw. He was very friendly toward another person we interacted with, he really enjoys attention!" - Jade **Due to Rocket's prey drive, he would do best in a home without cats or small animals. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
