My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Delilah was left behind when her owners moved, and the landlord wanted to send her to the shelter.
She was pregnant, and there was no question that we couldn't send her to the shelter because her chances and the puppies staying alive were about zero.

Delilah gave birth to 9 beautiful puppies on January 8th. Unfortunately, only seven survived.

Delilah is about two years old and 52 lbs.

She is ready to come to the NJ area on the next transport when she's adopted.

Things to know about Delilah:
Sits on command.
She listens when she's told, "No jump," while excited when the foster goes in the pen with her.
Rolls over for belly rubs
Not a mean bone in her body!!
Delilah is a strong girl like all shepherds are.
She’s learning to heal when the foster walks her, but she will need more training.
We recommend no cats.
Needs a high-fenced yard. Preferably not chain link because she can climb on it.
Gets along with other dogs.
She loves water!!! She sits in her water during the HOT summer with over 110 degrees in the south.
She loves attention and would sit in your lap all day if she could.

The best fit for Delilah will be:
We prefer an experienced owner with the breed!!
Because of her strength, we recommend children older than 13
Active family
High-fenced-in backyard
Someone who wants the love of a Shep girl!!

More about this rescue

Friends for Life Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3, volunteer-run, foster-based Rescue (no facility).

Our focus is to save the lives of dogs and puppies in high-kill shelters in the south and local owner surrenders.

Our mission is to place unwanted and in-danger animals in homes, regardless of age or breed. To educate the public and help stop animal cruelty and neglect.

We don't discriminate against potential adopters on any basis or for any reason. We approve potential adopters if they are and the animal they applied for is a good fit.

Extra Info.-
*If a dog is listed on Adopt a Pet, they are still available, and we accept applications. We approve applications on the best fit for both dog and family.
*We take our best guess on breed and size when fully grown.
* Our dogs are adopted from their foster home or straight from transport from kill shelters in the south.
*We always need foster homes so we can continue to save dogs. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in fostering. Or fill out the foster application using this link - https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155
