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. &#226&#128&#139 February 8, 2026, 4:14 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Small Fry! I’m a miniature Aussie Shepherd, with a big heart. I’m about 6 years young and just 16 lbs., but I’m happily working on reaching my healthy weight of 20–25 lbs . I had a little eating adventure when I got into some trash , but don’t worry, I’m all medically cleared now after getting my vaccines, and a little “snip snip” if you catch my drift. I’m fixed, feeling great, and thriving in my temporary home . I’m a super affectionate guy who loves cuddles, pets, and spending time with humans . I’m also good with kids , other dogs , and even cats , so I can fit right into a family home. I do have a little habit of marking inside, so I may need some belly bands and a consistent routine for a while, but with a little guidance, I’m an absolute delight . I’m playful, loving, and loyal…the kind of companion who will follow you around, snuggle on the couch, and make you smile every day . If you’re looking for a sweet, fun, and affectionate friend to welcome into your family, and one who’s beyond the “puppy” years, I’d love to meet you! ##2653058##
