Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. 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
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 5 year old dog. 🥰 I cannot give him what he needs. 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.

Story
Katie is a very energetic dog. She needs to have a fenced in yard where she can run and exercise. She is 4 years and 10 months old. She gets along with other dogs. We have three cats that she gets along with but does like to play and chase them. I think she would be better in a home that does not have other dogs because she will want all the attention she can get. She is very affectionate. She needs to have exercise and will walk on a leash. She does like to chase squirrels and birds. I have owned Katie since she was a puppy and unfortunately we are going to live fulltime in a rv traveling and Katie will not be able to get the proper attention and exercise that she needs.

These pups are in Wilmington, Delaware too!

Story
ABOUT WILLOW Willow is a sweet, cuddly girl who loves nothing more than spending time with her people. She can be a bit shy with loud noises, but she’ll quickly look to you for reassurance, she just needs a little comfort to feel safe again. One of Willow’s favorite things in the world is her stuffies! She proudly collects them and will try to carry as many as she can in her mouth when out in the field, it’s quite the adorable sight. She’s a polite girl too, always willing to give up a toy when asked before heading back to her kennel. Willow is a surprisingly agile pup and loves to show off by hopping to the top of her kennel when she’s excited. But once she’s out and about, her calm and gentle side shines through. She’ll quietly ask for pets and melt right into your arms for cuddles. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with a playful heart and a gentle spirit, Willow might just be your perfect match.
