Story
Dog Name: Snatch  Breed: mixed breed    Sex: Male   Age: 2.5 yrs    Weight: 55 pounds    Medical Needs: None   Housebroken: If you take him out when he comes out of his crate and after he eats. He does great.    Crate trained: Yes   Good in the car: yes   Good on a leash: yes , he doesn't pull but he tries to chase the outside kitties to play   Energy level: low to Medium He has spurts of energy then needs to recharge   Dog Friendly: Yes    If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No   Cat Friendly:No   Kid Friendly: yes   If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend ?   10+ and dog-savvy; Snatch doesn’t do well with wrestling or loud commotion and gets overstimulated easily. He will also guard his toys, and thinks all toys are *his* toys   Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them: Special traits:   He loves attention! We are working on manners because he does jump to get your attention. He occasionally gets possessive over toys and will need an owner that understands that bully breeds are stubborn and need an authoritative owner.    That being said, once he knows who’s boss (and it isn’t him…), he’s very lovable and stays close by. If you’re looking for a lovable bundle of joy come meet Snatch (he will snatch your heart)   Fosters Location: Dover, DE   Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file, email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app) ##2510516##

Story
This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. 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.

Story
She's 15 years old. I've had her since she was a baby I only can't keep her any longer because my landlord says she's too big and barks when I'm not home. Which I think that came with her aging when I lived by myself she never barked when I wasn't home. She's a cuddly little bear and mostly sleeps all day. She will let you know when she wants to go out.
