Story
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. ​ May 10, 2026, 12:27 pm

Story
Stormy is an almost 2 year old (July 5th) 50 lb pit bull mix. She loves to play ball in the back yard and be snuggled on the couch under blankets. She does become anxious around strangers and can be skittish but with females she does warm up. With males she does become fearful, will bark, and on occasion will growl. She comes up to them on her terms and will usually warm up to them and be playful. Great on her leash, sits on command to be pet, stops and starts on command. She has a dog walker that comes over twice a week while we are at work for extra run time. We are looking for a compassionate, patient, loving home for Stormy who understands the breed. She loves attention and is a very loving dog to her family, which has made this decision extremely difficult but due to a family member (that does not live in this home but visits frequently) possibly reminding her of someone from her past and her having a strong dislike to them, plus a new schedule we felt this may be best for her.

Story
ABOUT PRECIOUS Meet Precious! This chonky pittie girl was surrendered to us due to her owners not being able to care for her any more. Precious has lived with cats and children, but she was attacked by two dogs when she was younger so she can be very scared of them. Even though Precious has not had the best experiences with other dogs, she was able to make a doggy friend while being here! She just needs patience, understanding, and someone who does not mind a dog who is a huge cuddle bug. Precious would do well in a calm home environment where there is not a lot going on since she is an older girl and loves to nap! Quiet time, cuddles, and zoomies are her favorite things! If you are looking for a sweet, chonky potato to bring home and add to your family, come meet with Precious! 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
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.
