Story
Meet Coco! We all love some sweet Coco! Coco recently came to us when her previous owners could no longer care for her and she's been settling in here at Rehoboth. Since she was living in a home previously, it was reported that she's crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained but we can't make any guarantees how she'll transition into a new environment. Coco does know sit and paw and she's a big girl who loves her treats - maybe a little too much and could do with losing some weight. Thankfully, Coco adores love just as much as she adores treats so some cuddles and ear scratches are also acceptable forms of rewards for good behavior for her! When she's not out enjoying a walk or playing with a toy, Coco is happy to nap it up! Especially if those naps include cuddles with her favorite people! Coco's met a variety of humans and has done well so would make a great addition to a family with kids of any age. We'll continue to update Coco's profile as we get to know her but if you're looking for a couch potato that will shower you with endless love, Coco is the girl for you! 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
Looking for a rewarding rescue experience? Meet Dakota fka Dancer. Dakota had been part of a group unofficially known as the `Christmas Dogs` arriving at the BVSPCA when she was just a puppy as part of a humane investigation. After the case was won, this active girl with an exaggerated underbite and widow`s peak was adopted. Dakota unfortunately, found her way back to us as a senior and we would love nothing more than to see Dakota back in a loving home to enjoy her senior years. Dakota is dog friendly. Interested? Stop by for an introduction.

Story
Through no fault of his own this precious bean, Mr. Moo, is looking for a new home. He is a 3 year old pit mix (35lbs) who has lived with a cat and is good with older kids (8+). He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and has completed a formal basic puppy training course. Mr. Moo would do best in a single dog home. To clarify, he is not unfriendly with dogs, he just does not exactly know the best ways to socialize. Mr. Moo is crate trained and house trained. Leash walk or fenced yard required. He is a medium energy boy, who enjoys active play but also likes to cuddle on the couch. He will hang out in whatever room has people in it. During home alone times he should be crated or limited to a room with lots of dog friendly toys for positive entertainment. Mr. Moo is overall a lovable goof ball who lives simply for pets, cuddles, and play. His favorite things are any length of walks, puppy massages, and cuddling while watching animal documentaries.

Story
We adopted Pinto (formerly Stanley) from the Brandywine Valley SPCA in 2022. He was born on 08/02/2022. He is a mixed breed, mostly white dog who is deaf. He loves to play, chew on sticks, and be outdoors. He gets along well with our other dog. He does not seem bothered by cats but ours do not do well with him. He does well walking on a leash and enjoys going for long walks at parks. He does have a microchip and has been neutered. He has not had any shots or been to a vet since 2022. He eats dry food and enjoys chewing on bones. He has not had any training by us. Pinto is a very sweet dog who needs a space to run and play. He loves attention. We will provide new owner with any paperwork we have on him as well as any supplies/food we have. NOTE: we are taking him to get his shots updated on 5/11/25.

Story
Look at this beautiful dog! Maple was found as a stray and unbelievably, no one came forward to claim her. She seems housebroken, and knows basic commands sit, and stay. She is playful and full of energy. She was in foster with both a dog and some cats and did well with both alternately playing with the cats or ignoring them. She takes food nicely and enjoys playing outside. Maple qualifies for the Sponsored by Simba Program Pets for Veterans. There is no adoption fee for any dog or cat one year of age and up when adopted by any military veteran.This pet is available at:Brandywine Valley SPCACopeland Center for Animal Welfare290 Churchmans RdNew Castle De 19720
