The Ultimate Puppy Crew: 8 Sweet Babes Looking for Forever Homes!
Read more about Puppies
The secret is out! Our amazing rescue mama, Lune, has raised 8 beautiful, healthy puppies, and they are officially ready to start looking for their forever families! We have 5 sweet girls and 3 handsome boys who are growing bigger, smarter, and cuter by the day.
These little ones are getting the absolute best start in life. To ensure they grow up into polite, confident adult dogs (and don't turn into little bratties!), they are staying with their mama and siblings until they are 10 weeks old for crucial early canine socialization.
World-Class Socialization in Progress!
We want these puppies to be ready for any kind of family environment! They are currently being safely introduced to:
• Other adult dogs to learn great doggy manners
• Dog-savvy cats for peaceful co-existing
• Supervised children of various ages
• A variety of sights, sounds, and textures to build unstoppable confidence!
Quick Facts About the Puppies:
• Availability: 5 Girls & 3 Boys
• Breed Mix: Herding dog mixes (expecting medium-sized, intelligent adult dogs!)
• Timeline: Currently accepting applications! They will head to their forever homes once they hit that magic 10-week mark.
Health & Medical Included:
We are taking care of all the medical basics so you can focus on the puppy snuggles! Before heading home, every puppy will:
• Have their first round of puppy shots
• Have regular deworming
• Be up-to-date flea and tick prevention
• Be spayed or neutered prior to adoption day!
How to Adopt a Puppy:
If you are ready for the fun, dedication, and lifetime of loyalty that comes with raising a well-socialized herding mix puppy, we want to hear from you!
• Location: Newark, DE
• Next Steps: Fill out an adoption application today at www.delawarepetrescue.org/forms! Please specify if you have a preference for a specific puppy and if you would prefer a boy or a girl.

Adopting a dog in Chester County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
