Story
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​ 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. ​ October 19, 2026, 10:24 pm

Dog Name: Cheeto Breed: Australian Shepherd Sex: M Age: 4 Weight: 50lbs Medical Needs: NA Housebroken: Yes Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: Yes Energy level: Low/medium Need a fenced in yard: Would benefit, but with regular walks and alternative stimulation isn’t necessary Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Yes, but attempts to herd Kid Friendly: Yes, but fearful of young children If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 10 and up. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Incredibly smart and loves having a job or purpose. Very routine-oriented and thrives on structure. Playful and energetic; loves puzzles, games, and obstacle courses. Extremely loyal and people-oriented; wants to be included in everything. Very affectionate once he trusts you. Great with other dogs and generally submissive/playful. Can be food/resource (high value toys and treats) protective. Will need to be monitored with toys initially and given space at feedings. Doesn’t like being picked up or physically moved; responds best to calm redirection. Does best with people who respect his boundaries and keep him mentally engaged. Overall, he’s a sweet, quirky, devoted dog who wants to feel like part of the family.

Story
Ashur has social and separation anxiety and allergies. He needs and deserves attention that I am not able to provide him. He has a lot of energy and loves to play. He needs a human that has a lot of patience and will love him unconditionally. He will surely return the favor. He loves to cuddle. While Ashur may not do well with strangers, once he is familiar with you (doesn't take long) he is a very loving, attached, cuddly 6 year old dog. 🥰I cannot give him what he needs and can't do this anymore. He is bored and lonely majority of the day being home alone for a minimum of 12 hours daily. I also learned the hard way that I am allergic to dogs. I will have to put him to sleep soon if I am unable to find Ashur a new home because I cannot find a shelter that will take him. Please help. He needs a new home as soon as possible.
