Please contact Darlene at 302-312-5129 (fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  This dog is located in Newark, DE. Visit us on the web at https://fur-everpaws.com/fur-ever-paws-adoption-application/ to submit an application. Please contact the foster directly at 302-312-5129 (text or call) or via email at fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com Fur Ever Paws Dog Rescue is a small no kill rescue operating in the Delaware/Maryland area. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that rescues and places homeless, neglected or abused dogs from high-kill shelters in the south into loving, responsible committed and permanent homes. We feel our comprehensive adoption process which includes not only taking the time to match the dog to the prospective new owner but helping to educate that owner in responsible dog care, allows us to find the best homes for our little buddies and the best companions for you! Each week we use USDA certified transports to bring dogs from high-kill shelters in the south to our fosters where they all receive the appropriate medical care and are placed in nurturing loving homes while they await placement in their forever homes. Interested in one of our dogs? Great! Now that you've seen them here you'll need to go to our website where you'll find our list of adoptable dogs (updated every week). Then, it's just a simple process of finding a dog you're interested in and filling out an application on our site. Once we receive your application, whoever is fostering that particular dog will contact you and do a short over the phone interview to complete your application process. If everything works out, they will set an appointment with you so come out and "visit" with the dog you're interested in (we want to make sure that not only are you a good fit for the dog but that the dog will fit with you). If everything works out, you'll be able to take rover (or spot, or jax) home with you that very day. A couple of things you should know: We can't hold dogs over the phone or via email. Adoption fees vary based on breed. All of our dogs have been vet checked and dewormed (if possible due to age, additional treatment may be needed). We provide a spay or neuter voucher to all of our adopters. &#226&#128&#139 November 20, 2024, 8:57 pm

Story
Meet Jack Jack is a 13-year-old chihuahua with a heart of gold. While he may be blind, it doesn’t stop him from being incredibly sweet and affectionate. Jack has a heart murmur and hypothyroidism, but don’t worry – the shelter will provide everything he needs to stay healthy, including his medications and any vet care. He may be a little slower these days, but his loving personality makes him a joy to be around. Jack is looking for a foster home where he can feel safe and loved, and where he can spend his days lounging around and soaking up all the attention he deserves. November 15, 2024, 11:27 am

Story
Meet Petey, Sweetie, and Honey Bee: A Loving Trio Looking for a Foster Home Where They Can Stay Together At Faithful Friends, we believe that every dog deserves to feel loved and cherished, especially in their golden years. Petey (11), Sweetie (12), and Honey Bee (10) are three senior dogs who found themselves at our shelter after their owner, due to health challenges, realized he could no longer provide them with the care and love they deserve. While they’re safe here, their hearts are heavy as they wonder why they’re no longer in their home. This bonded trio has spent their lives together, and now they’re hoping to find a family or a foster who can keep them together for the rest of their days. They’re small, sweet, and full of love, and they would make the perfect companions for someone looking to offer a peaceful, nurturing environment in which they can continue to thrive. Meet the Trio • Petey (11 years old) – Petey is a gentle, loyal boy who enjoys the simple pleasures of life—like a nice walk or cuddling with his best friends. He’s affectionate and easygoing, with a calm demeanor that makes him a pleasure to be around. • Sweetie (12 years old) – True to her name, Sweetie is a kind, loving girl who thrives on companionship. She enjoys spending time with her friends, Petey and Honey Bee, and is a comforting presence in any room. • Honey Bee (10 years old) – Honey Bee is a gentle soul with a heart full of love. She’s a little cuddle bug who enjoys being with her pack and would be happy spending her days resting in a warm lap or enjoying a relaxing walk. These three love each other deeply and are inseparable. They enjoy walking together on a leash, and they are always happy when they’re in each other’s company. Although they’ve faced some hardship, their loyalty and loving nature are still very much intact.  November 20, 2024, 10:57 am

Please read the bio in full for answers to your questions. In the event you have a question that is not covered in the bio, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application which can be found at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/.   Please note that because all our dogs live in foster homes, we are unable to set up meetings with a dog unless we have a completed adoption application on file. Adoptions must be within a reasonable distance from Moorestown, NJ for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Meet Benny! Benny is a 10-year-old, 6 lb., long-haired Chihuahua who was left at a shelter by his owner. He was terrified and had a mouth full of rotten teeth. It was time for a new beginning. Benny was brought into rescue and immediately received a dental as well as skin treatment for flea dermatitis. Feeling so much better, this little guy quickly warmed up to his foster home. Benny has good hearing and gets along well with dogs and cats. He does have a retinal eye issue that will most likely cause him to slowly lose vision over time. Benny wears belly bands and is mostly housebroken. Like any senior though, he can have the occasional accident when no one is home. Benny can handle a few stairs but prefers to be carried. He walks well on a leash, but likes exploring a backyard, so a fenced-in yard would be ideal. Benny would be fine with dog-savvy children and would appreciate a home where someone is around most of the time. Benny is described as a chill, velcro dog who enjoys his couch time. He wants to be wherever you are and doesn’t enjoy being left out. Benny loves his food, (especially peanut butter) and has been known to try and steal an extra snack now and then. He loves getting attention and pets and will do zoomies when you put him on the bed.  Oh yes - he wants to sleep with you as well. This sweet pup requires little and gives so much. Can you please make room for him in your home? Apply today!

Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. 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 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.
