Please contact Denise at 610-656-1291 (Fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  This dog is located in New Castle, 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 610-656-1291 (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 December 12, 2024, 2:45 pm

Story
ABOUT SUNFLOWER Sunflower is a 2-year-old sweetheart! Before making her way to HAP, Sunflower was originally a Texas girl. Despite being bounced around a bit, this girl isn't phased at all! Sunflower LOVES meeting new people and has done well walking with her doggy friends at the shelter! This sweet girl is quick to roll over in order for someone to have full access to pay the tummy tax! One of Sunflower's favorite things is to 'go shopping' in one of the many toy baskets in our facility and she will help herself by throwing herself almost completely into the basket and will take her time searching through until she finds the one her heart desires! Once she's made her selection, she likes to cuddle up with the toy before bringing it in with her into her kennel where she has a huge toy pile of all of her favorite possessions that she's always snuggling with! While she's only been with us less than a month, she has already had many adventures through our Doggy Day Out program. Here's what some volunteers had to say about her: "Sunflower is the sweetest baby! We walked 5.3 miles at Bellevue Park. Met a couple horses on the trail which I think fascinated her! Had a good time sniffing all around, saw squirrels, people, other dogs and she was fine. She didn't pull on the leash and she was always checking in with me during our walk. She loves pets and has a constant tail wag. I needed to help her into the car because she is a shorty but she had no trouble getting out. She is just the perfect doggo! - Autumn "I took Sunflower out today! She's such a sweet girl (and very photogenic)! She loved sniffing, watching squirrels, and meeting people. Walked very well on a leash for almost 4 miles! Of course we ended the day with a pup cup. I hope she finds her family soon! - Sydney If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

Story
This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn.
