My personality

My story

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

Delilah is about two years old and 52 lbs.

She sits on command.
She listens when she's told, "No jump".
Rolls over for belly rubs.
She does not have a mean bone in her body!!
Delilah, like all shepherds, is a strong girl.
She’s learning to heel when the foster walks her, but she will need some additional training.
We recommend no cats.
She will need a yard with a high-fenced yard. Preferably not chain link because she can climb.
She gets along with other dogs.
She loves water! She sits in her water during the hot summer when the temperature is over 110 degrees in the South.
She loves attention and would sit in your lap all day if she could.

The best home for Delilah will be:
With an owner who has experience with her breed!!
Because of her strength, we recommend children older than 13.
An active family would be best.
Backyard with a high-fenced (preferably not chain link).
Someone who wants the love of a sweet shep girl!!

Her background:
Delilah was left behind when her owners moved, and the landlord was going to send her to the shelter. She was pregnant, and there was no way we were going to let that happen because her chances to stay alive, as well as her puppies, were about zero.

Once Delilah was safe with a foster, she gave birth to nine beautiful puppies on January 8th. Unfortunately, only seven survived, and two are still waiting to get adopted.

She is ready to come to NJ when adopted.

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
