My story

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

Hello people, I'm RockyDude - you may have seen my face before.. If not, I'll tell you my story:

I am a very handsome guy, and I'm settling into my new digs tonight, but I still need a forever family to call my own! The humans said a lot of people worked on getting me to safety, though, and we have to thank them first! You see, my pals at ACCT Philly are overwhelmed with dogs, and they have to take all of us in to keep us safe, so they rely on people - adopters and fosters like you, and shelters/ rescues, like Faithful Friends, to help us out and to safety!

These humans even kept me well past my "timestamp", so I could be transported safely to my new digs in Delaware this afternoon! It was lucky timing, as the state JUST lifted the ban on out of state pups, so they were able to bring me here and give my humans more time to come get me. They said there were lots of people who were trying to figure out how to save me in such short time - so now you know, you can come visit me here!

Here's my short list of qualities from my friends and time at ACCT, since my new pals have gotten me my intake exam, a few walks, and settled into my kennel after my long day - they'll be able to give you more information soon, too!

I have a good history with cats

I have a good history with dogs

I know sit, down, and will trade for toys, too!

I love tennis balls and squeaky toys!

I am 3 years old, and a fully grown 66 pounds

I know there's a lot of dogs in need, and a lot of great dogs, at that! But I really hope that I won't have to spend many more nights in a shelter kennel - even though I am so happy to be safe, and have time to find a family.. I really hope that someone who said they were going to come get me, actually comes to bring me home, so we can start happily ever after together!

Love, RockyDude

Please come visit during shelter hours: Tuesday-Friday from 12pm-7pm and Saturday from 12pm-5pm!

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.
