Story
Please contact Marilyn at 856-275-6905 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 856-275-6905 (call or text) or via email at Fureverpawsdogrescue@gmail.com&#226&#128&#139 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 12, 2024, 2:40 pm

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.

Story
Meet Lacey in MIlton! A 10-month-old female, black tri, Australian Shepherd. She is Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. On Interceptor Plus heartworm preventative. Lacey is searching for her special person to help her shine. She will need a patient and dedicated owner to bring out her best qualities. Although Lacey is incredibly shy and is unsure of new people and surroundings, she is the sweetest and most lovable dog on the planet! She loves to snuggle and lay right up next to you. She will be your most loyal companion. Lacey’s ideal home would have a canine buddy to help give her confidence and a fenced yard (mandatory) to run and play. She even likes cats. A quiet home with no small children would be best at first as she has not been around children. She will need more socialization in different environments to encourage her to conquer her shyness. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, just unsure of new situations and people. Lacey is house trained, although she is still a puppy and can whittle a little if scared and has had too much water after playing with her buddies. She currently lives with two dogs and a cat along with her two humans, to which she is very attached. She is crated only when no one is home as she cries a lot in her crate. She would do well if her humans were home with her most of the day. Lacey would benefit from more leash time as she was initially afraid of being on a leash, so more walks will help boost her confidence. Lacey is truly a special puppy with a lot of love to give. Her foster will have a hard time giving her up! If Lacey sounds like the perfect partner for you, please start the adoption process today to give Lacey her furever home. Currently located in Milton, DE. Multiple meet and greets may be needed, so please keep distance in mind when applying for her. Breed experience is a plus. Time, patience and love are mandatory requirements for Lacey! (Lacey is a sibling to ASF Toby, currently being fostered in VA.) Here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to her new furever family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Story
Dog Name: Alanis Breed: Miniature Australian Shepherd Sex: Spayed Female Age: Approximately 5 yrs old Weight: 21 lbs Medical Needs: None Housebroken: Yes Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: Yes, but still a flight risk as she is timid when out of her normal environment Energy level: Medium Need a fenced in yard: Yes, as she is still new to being on a leash and being in a home I would recommend a fence. Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Yes. Cat Friendly? Unknown Kid Friendly: she would not be a fan If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? N/A Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Maple is a former mill mama that has spent the last 10 months with me learning that people are good. She’s a low-medium energy miniature Australian Shepherd tipping the scale at right around 21 lbs. When Maple first got here it was clear she had lived a sheltered life. She did not interact with people at all, wouldn’t come in the house, and ignored the other dogs. Since living with my crew (3 standard Aussies, a Lab/Heeler, and a Great Dane, she has learned to interact and reside peacefully with them all. While she’s cute and looks huggable, she isn’t quite there yet, and still will require a home that is willing to allow her the time she needs to become more comfortable. She is still very fearful when out of her normal environment, and for that reason she should be considered a flight risk. She comes when called and crates when told to. She does tend to chew on shoes, which is something she recently picked up when I started going back to the office. She will take pets occasionally when out free, takes them when on a leash and in her crate. She’s done well with her vet visits as long as the vet takes their time with her. I don’t know if she will ever be a cute lap dog because she’s still a bit of a work in progress when it comes to picking up and petting, but she does enjoy getting loved on and paid attention to. She also seems to prefer women to men, although she’s done okay with both in my home. She’s a fun little girl that is looking for the right home that can be patient and supportive with her as she continues to learn how amazing people can be.

Story
My girlfriend acquired Koda in Florida 2 years ago, due to circumstances she had to move back to Venezuela and ever since I’ve been taking care of him. I work 13 hour days from Monday to Saturday, and I’m not able to give him the attention and time he deserves. He’s a fun and very loving little guy, it hurts just thinking about giving him away, but it’s not fair to him that he spends majority of the day alone. I would like for him to go to a home that has a backyard (he loves playing fetch and just being goofy) and a family that has the time to give him love and attention.
