English Setter puppies and dogs in Newark, Delaware

Maverick is an 8-year-old male English Setter currently in long-term boarding in Plymouth, IN. He needs an experienced foster, or foster to adopt home. He was an urgent owner surrender when the owners moved in early January.  He would do best with a  calmer/indifferent dog (preferrably female), but can be dog selective otherwise. He lived with older teenagers but no young kids.  He ignores the cats at the kennel.  He is house and crate trained, but does pull on a leash.  Before rescue he was left alone 17 hours or more while the owner was working, He does have a higher prey drive for squirrels and birds, so would do best with a fenced yard. He does not like being corrected/pressured by humans in certain situations & will growl if in any stare down/confrontation. For everyone’s safety, he should be muzzled while at the vet or when being handled closely (which he manages well). Otherwise he really is a happy, friendly guy.  He rides well in the car. He will need a quieter experienced foster home, someone who is going to give him time to decompress and get familiar with them, the new environment, new routines, etc. & that has time to work with him, since his past life left him neglected & undersocialized.  The rescue will assist with any recommended behavioral training/interventions. Please let us know if you can help Maverick to a better life. To discuss specifics about Maverick, please contact fosterplacement@esrescue.org See videos below as he's learning to greet other dogs & learning that loving is a good thing.  Medical: He is up to date on all vaccinations, is neutered, & on monthly heartworm preventative.  He has some seasonal allergies that are managed with Cytopoint injections & medicated baths, as needed. Grain free food also helps keep his skin issues in check. Volunteer transport can be arranged in the Continental US within a 1,000-mile distance, to within 2 hours of your home. ##2620040##

Socialization: Webb is cautious and respectful when meeting new people, however he quickly opens up and enjoys cuddles/pets; he is very much a Velcro dog and wants to be by your side. Webb prefers slow and respectful introductions with dogs, but is generally very friendly once he is used to them. He is very playful with dogs, and would love another young dog to play with and learn confidence from. He has met children and was respectful of them as well. Webb has been working hard on staying calm around our cat/the neighborhood cats but is easily over-stimulated around small animals/prey; due to this, we feel his ideal home would be cat-free, or one with a large, dog-saavy cat. Webb is a joy to have and would love to continue to blossom with another medium to large dog in the home. Training: Webb is very smart and has learned sit, down, stay, and kennel. He enjoys learning and training and would excel in a sport such as rally or obedience. Webb walks calmly on a leash with a no-pull harness, and has been taught to sit whenever his human stops. He is also working on impulse control with the command "break", and other games. Webb will need ongoing training, and specifically training to support his enrichment needs and provide a mental and physical job, he is not a dog who will be happy staying at home 24/7. Crate trained: Webby is crate trained, and will go to his kennel on command using the cue, "kennel". However, Webby struggles with separation anxiety and will vocalize in his kennel if left alone for any period of time; he can also be destructive, with a tendency to swallow items. Webb would love a person who can be home a lot, and/or take him with them when traveling. Alternatively, another dog companion who can stay home with him. Webb does well when my personal dog stays home, and will sleep in his kennel as long as he has buddy. He does not like to be the only one left alone. His humans should use caution when leaving him alone/out without more training or removing items that may be tempting to destroy and eat. Leash trained: Webby does great on a no-pull, front clip harness. He has learned to sit/lie down when cued on walks, and will automatically sit when his human stops while walking, or at intersections. Webb responds excellent to positive reinforcement and is highly food motivated. Webb will react to cats and squirrels on walks, and sometimes other reactive dogs, but can be redirected using treats. While this has improved, he still experiences nervousness to loud noises outside of the home. Webb requires an active person to accompany him on walks and would do best with someone who can handle his strength and excitement. Activity level/requirements: Webb is a high-energy breed and will need active daily enrichment in order for him to stay well regulated. Without proper mental and physical stimulation, he can become reactive/vocal and restless. After proper enrichment, Webb will match your energy levels and loves to nap on the couch. His ideal home is someone dedicated to his ongoing training and who can balance his activity needs. Fence requirements: While he has never tried to jump our fence, he could easily clear a fence less than 6ft. As a result, a home with tall fencing is ideal as he currently does not have strong recall or any training off-leash. Personality: Webby is extremely lovable, sweet, and playful. He is a true velcro dog, and does not want to leave his person's side. He can by shy or aloof at first, but once he learns to trust you, he will open up and show his playful/goofy personality! Webb has some reservations out in public, and will need someone dedicated to continue building his confidence. Health history: UTD on vaccinations, is spayed/neutered, microchipped, & on monthly heartworm preventative. Webb has completed Heartworm treatment and will need to be retested in 6 months. He also experienced a multi-fracture in his left front leg, and while he has no current limitations, arthritis may surface in the future. Foster comments: Webb's dream home would include an active and patient family who are dedicated to his ongoing training and anxiety needs. He would thrive in a home with another playful dog, and would love the chance to be with a family who he can go majority of places with. Webb is truly so special and we have adored having him, he will be a wonderful addition to the right home.

Socialization: Precious has greeted everyone who comes into the house as if they were family. He took to my brother-in-law quickly and IMO this shows no hesitancy towards men. Precious takes long brisk walks with a ROVER dog walker, who once brought her brother and dad along and all 4 enjoyed the outing. Precious and the resident dog get along fine; she tries to get him to play with the play-bow and barking or running after him, and Precious is just starting to understand "play". The dog walker reports he and other dogs sniff each other on walks, and then Precious is ready to move on.  He was a perfect attendee at the June picnic, he LOVED meeting everyone.  He is a people dog and wants to be near his people.  Depending on space, he will lie down with his head on my foot to be close. Training: Precious is a high energy and prey driven boy. He spins and tap dances and yelps with excitement to be outside or go for a walk. When he focuses on something such as a squirrel or rabbit, it takes time to get him distracted and he does not respond to calling his name. Despite his great hearing, he is very selective on what he elects to hear! In the house, with no triggers into action, he will come if you call his name and sit. He will sit for treats.  His four most favorite words are:  Breakfast!; Supper!: Walk!; Carrots! Crate trained: No. And I do not think he will take to a crate.  He also isn't attracted to dog beds. He likes to curl up on a throw rug, piece of carpet, or his favorite is the sofa. Leash trained: Good.  He walks at a good pace with no weaving. The dog walker who is in her early 20s reports the same; very brisk walker, straight on unless prey is detected in which case then we FOCUS. He has met other dogs on walks and is not reactive. Activity level/requirements: Precious is a high energy dog and needs to get some running around in every day; he seems to really enjoy an hour outside after breakfast and then another hour before dinner. He LOVES being outside, running or just standing on the deck surveying the domain. Most times, Precious does not know when to stop running and it's important to stop him and have him calm down and rest. So long as he has had enough exercise, he is content to lie down and nap.  He prefers to be with you, but will also put himself in his favorite spots, which are all sofas. Fence requirements: YES. Fence required, at least 4 ft.   No invisible fence. Precious is very good with self exercise and a fenced yard to run and chase birds, rabbits and squirrels is what he needs. He has not jumped my 4ft fence but he has eyed it as if he is considering the possibility. Personality: Although Precious is not a name that comes to mind for a male dog, he was very appropriately named by the person who pulled him from the shelter in KS. He truly is precious. He is very active, prey driven, loving and submissive. When he focuses on prey, he sees nothing else. When he is running, he does not know to stop. If his activity is monitored so he gets sufficient exercise, when he settles, he relaxes and sleeps. Until a couple of months ago, Precious and my resident dog would "'go to bed" on the sofa in the finished basement about 11PM nightly and sleep through the night until 7:30.   In the past month they have both been given free reign of the house during the night with no problems.  Neither is a fan of a crate.  In the morning they both are sleeping on the rug in the bedroom.  Precious is still learning how to play and coming to understand what toys are. MOST IMPORTANTLY He is unaware of personal space and will run in front of or push by you or another dog if he is eager to go somewhere, and this includes on steps.  He doesn't have a mean or aggressive bone in his body, he just isn't "aware" of others.  He will knock down or step on small children in his exhuberance. For this reason, no toddlers or small children; children over 8 and familiar with dog behavior should be fine.  Any type of correction, which is rare, must be by positive reinforcements. he wants to please and be loved. He has fantastic hearing and will hear a siren before people in the room. He's funny to watch.  Many evenings when he goes outside after "supper", he stands at the door looking in, he doesn't want to be outside unless I am with him.   Health history: UTD on vaccinations, is neutered, microchipped, & on monthly heartworm preventative. Precious has a positive diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Disease and is on a prescription diet of Royal Canin Selected Protein Potato and Whitefish Moderate Calorie Adult Dry Dog Food.  I will occasionally add some cooked rice, pumpkin and a sprinkle of psyllium husk and he is thriving. No expensive bully sticks or treats for this boy; snacks consist of dog friendly fruits and carrots.  It's easy! Foster comments: Precious is the sweetest dog looking for the right home. If there is another dog in the home, that dog has to accept a buddy willingly and as an equal.  The dog walker LOVES this dog and so do I, but I can't give him the forever home he needs and deserves.

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. ​ July 26, 2026, 8:14 pm
