Story
Luigi came to us from a family member who is now deceased. He is going to be 6 years old on April 29th. Luigi was originally adopted by his first owner from a pet store and went home with malnutrition and heartworms. He has all of the traditional personality characteristics of a pit bull. He loves to cuddle, loves to sunbathe and to exercise, curling up on a couch or his cushioned bed, and loves chew toys but will tear the floof out of anything soft. He is loving and loyal with occasional zoomies. Although his recall could use some work, Luigi adheres to commands including, "sit," "up," "down," "lay," "stay," "leave it," and "go out." He is well crate-trained and potty trained. Unfortunately, we have been experiencing behavioral issues from Luigi, primarily unexpected lunging and growling. He would best be suited with an experienced adopter who is single and can offer optimal exercising and additional training. He can be good with small dogs but would recommend him to be a solo pet.

Story
This friend has just arrived to us as a stray. When animals are found as strays, our staff will search for an owner. If no one comes to reclaim the pet, we will begin looking for a new home. Unfortunately, we rarely have a background on stray animals. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with other animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started

Story
Dog name: Apalla Breed: boxer mix Sex: female Age: approximately 1 year Weight: 42 pounds Medical Needs: Apalla has sensitive skin and some hair loss. She also has a hearing deficit. None of these things stop her from loving life and being the happiest girl. Housebroken: Almost there! She can go days without accidents, but she doesn't signal to let you know she needs to go out. She does need to be put out frequently and does best with a routine. Good in a crate: She goes in for a treat and sometimes she settles quickly and other times she makes sure you know she's sad about it. Good in the car: Yes, Apalla is harnessed in the back on her dog bed and she lays right down. She is perfect in the car! Good on a leash: Apalla is doing very well walking on a leash. She zig zags a little but overall she is a good walker. Energy level: medium She is taken for a morning walk, has some playtime with her foster sister and then she's ready for a long nap. She does have bursts of puppy energy, but they are pretty short lived. Need a fenced in yard: No, she will be fine with leashed walks. Dog Friendly: Apalla absolutely loves other dogs. She is very playful with her furry friends and enjoys snuggling with them too. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? No Cat Friendly? Yes Kid Friendly: Yes If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any, with proper supervision. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know: Apalla came from a neglectful living situation in Georgia where she spent all of her time outside with other dogs. It is quite miraculous that she is so friendly to people and that she has adapted so easily to life in a home. Her perfect home includes humans that aren't gone more than 4 to 5 hours a day, someone who will give her belly rubs and snuggles on the couch. After a rough start, this sweet girl deserves the best! Foster location: Apalla is being fostered in Dover, Delaware. If you're interested in Apalla, you can find an application at grrde.org/adoption-application. If you already have an approved application on file, email Grassrootsde@gmail.com and say you're interested in Apalla ##2175349##

Story
Dog Name: Christopher Robin Breed: Boxer/Bulldog mix Sex: Male Age: 1 year Weight: 43.6 pounds Medical Needs: None. Housebroken: Mostly. His lapses tend to be when he’s confined when we leave the house. When we’re home and he has free run of the house, he rarely has accidents inside. Crate trained: He has had past bad experiences in a crate that need to be overcome. We are working on making the crate a positive refuge for him, so I feed him in his crate and I leave his crate door open most of the time. He always has a Benebone in his crate and will go into his crate to eat or when he needs a break during the day. He sleeps in my bed at night. Be forewarned — he snores! Good in the car: Yes, he’s a good car traveler and rides in the back seat. (Initially, I crated him in the back of my SUV until he built up his trust in me and his comfort with being in my car, and would recommend his adopter do the same.) Good on a leash: Yes, he is very attentive and takes his queues from me, and stays pretty close to me. He still is a bit “to-and-fro” while walking and will “pancake” if he gets nervous, but he likes to go for walks. Energy level: Medium. Christopher Robin likes to run and play with the other dogs. He also settles well and is happy to “sploot” and quietly chew his Benebones. He can be pretty hard on stuffed toys, though. He paces himself well to the activity level of the other dogs in my house. If they are playing, he’s game for a romp. If they are snoozing, he’s in the middle of the pile — all in for a good nap. Need a fenced in yard: He needs regular opportunities to get outside to go potty, so if no fenced yard, he’ll need leash walks every few hours. He will tear around and play with my other dogs, so the yard is handy to let him spend his energy, too, especially if you don’t want too much active play in your house. Dog Friendly: Yes. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? Yes, another dog pal in the home would be good for Christopher Robin. Having a social outlet to interact with other dogs is a must for him. He loves to play with the other dogs in my home and is learning so much about how to be a dog from them that I think it would help him acclimate more easily to his new home. He has “packed in” well with my dogs and enjoys going to doggie daycare when they go. Cat Friendly: He has only had limited interactions with my cats, but has given them a wide berth. So far, he’s been much more interested in their food than in having any interactions with them. Kid Friendly: Unknown. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Dog savvy, quieter, respectful kids who are old enough to understand they need to go slow with him (age 10-12+). He still gets nervous in new situations, so a loud active household would be too much overstimulation for him now — although I think he’d be ok with more activity once he settles in a little more. He is VERY hand shy and tentative when approaching new people. Sudden approaches or people bringing their hands down to pet his head reinforce his fears from previously being hit, so any kids would need to be old enough and respectful enough to learn how to approach him slowly and bring their hands from below so they don’t trigger his fear of being hit. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? This sums up our boy, Christopher Robin, in a nutshell — “I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood” Christopher Robin came to the shelter under nourished, undersocialized, neglected, and clearly beaten. He is socially awkward and is still learning how to be a dog. When he’s nervous, he sometimes vocalizes to let you know he’s unsure of the situation. He may always need his trusted human to be his advocate and help him navigate uncharted waters. He was under-sized and underweight when he came to the shelter and has gained 13 pounds since his intake. His GI system is still trying to acclimate from the months of neglect he endured, and he is doing better now that he’s on a “digestive diet” and probiotics. (Giving him people food quickly sends him into a bout of diarrhea.) Despite his past, he’s a happy cuddler who loves to give wet, sloppy kisses to his favorite people. He has come so far in his foster home and will continue to improve with patience, love, and consistency. This ‘goombah’ is such a sweet, goofy, resilient guy who also happens to have the cutest underbite! We are looking for a patient home that will help him thrive and grow into the awesome dog that he can be! ** Multiple meets will be required so that he can build trust with his new family before going home. ** Foster’s Location: Wilmington, DE Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app). ##1980877##
