âHello - I'm Lilo! I was brought here when my family couldn't care for me any longer. I quickly headed to a foster home where the humans could learn some more about me! Turns out I like big, red chewy things and I do know how to play fetch. All of the other things foster momma threw, I played fetch and hoard instead. I’m housebroken, and STUBBORN. Once I have claimed my spot…I am NOT getting up. Time for bed? Nope. Haven’t been outside since dinner…nope. I’m pretty much decided the couch is all mine.
W âhen w e met some hooman â n âneighbors, I was very polite and loved anyone w âho wanted to show me love. We â also went on a âfew car ride âs and I was super excited. And I slept on my bed next to foster mommas bed and I didn’t make a peep. It took 30 min âutes to convince me to get off the couch to go upstairs, but that’s a story for another day.
Foster momma says I am “curious” about everything at my eye level. I sit when asked, but the words “outside” and “walk” don’t mean anything after 5pm. She gives me lots of cuddles and told me I am a good couch guest. She is also starting to get an idea of what my perfect family looks like! They definitely need to like to share the couch, enjoy gentle kisses, and give up 50% of their bed. Happy New Year to all of my new friends. And to my future furever family…I am quite the catch and look forward to lots of snuggles very soon! â I'm back at the shelter, and hoping my stay here will be short and sweet, so come scoop up this very best girl, pretty please?!
P.S - you shouldn't ask a woman her age - but I am 8 years young and a pleasantly plump 77ish pounds.. we can make a resolution to walk more together, but only if you adopt me!

More about this shelter
Faithful Friends was founded in 2000, as Citizens for the Protection and Care of Animals, by a group of local animal lovers who believe there is a better way to address the problem of pet homelessness than mass euthanasia.
Currently, about 25,000 pets become homeless in Delaware and over 15,000 are destroyed in Delaware's publicly funded shelters. The vast majority of these pets are destroyed because there are no homes for them immediately available. And these numbers do not take into account the thousands of homeless cats that huddle near dumpsters, living in fear.
Pet overpopulation and homelessness is a community problem, not a shelter problem. It takes a unified effort within the community to solve the problem and to do so in a humane, effective manner. We hope you will join this effort!
Our Mission
Ending the routine killing of dogs and cats through rescue and adoption of homeless pets, affordable spay/neuter programs that target the neediest pet owners in our community, and outreach programs that prevent pet owner relinquishments.
Our Vision
That Delaware will become a state that cares for and protects animal companions, eliminating abuse, neglect and the routine killing of homeless pets.
Our Goals
Significantly increase adoptions of homeless pets by building a state-of-the-art Adoption Center that provides medical care and a homelike setting where dogs and cats can live free of stress and fear until new homes are found for them.
Provide care options for homeless pets that need more time and training to become adopted or who need lifetime care by creating a Sanctuary in Delaware. Here, animals who are difficult to place in homes because of age, illness or temperament can live out their natural lives in safety.
Create therapeutic programs that bring animals and their gifts of unconditional love, companionship and healing to children and the elderly in residential facilities who suffer from isolation, depression or the effects of abuse or illness.
Reduce overpopulation by providing spay/neuter programs which target the neediest pet owners and feral/stray cats.
Reduce pet relinquishments to shelters by offering support, training and alternatives to owner give-ups.
