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. Then, they will set an appointment with you to 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.

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.
Help us find these 8 little bundles of joy their dream homes—please share their post!

My story didn't start out all sunshine and tail wags, ya see I was found wanderin as a stray in WV and ended up in a High Kill Shelter. The shelter folks coudn't fur the life of em figure out why nobody came looking, I mean "SOMEONE" must ta loved me once! I was taught ta sit and take treat "OH, SO GENTLY!" Ya'd think a handsome hunk like me woulda been a keeper!
Molly's Place got word, took one look and I was a DONE DEAL! Punched my ticket to PA. Having passed the "CAT TEST at the pound, I've also shown ta be good with other doggies in play. Humans? Oh boy, I love, Love, LOVE their attention fur sure. Now I gotta be honest, I'm still a youngin... have puppy energy, so little kiddos may accidentally get bowled over with my enthusiasm, so best older kiddos fur me!
So that's my scoop, I'm a handsome, fun-lovin, zoomie powered boy who does settle down for Loving with their person! If that sound like a match, get your applications in.

Visit us on the web at https://new.fur-everpaws.com 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.
Read more about Gender Roles
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.

28. Royal
Royal is one of the reasons why we will always make room in our homes to rescue dogs. In her short life, she has already experienced just how unkind humans can be, through absolutely no fault of her own. But thankfully, kindness won.
Three very special people stepped up and donated their time and resources to make sure Royal could get the surgery she needed for her broken leg. Because of them, she has been given a second chance at the life she deserves.
Royal will be safe, loved, and cared for by our rescue while she recovers.
When she is ready, Royal will be available for adoption. In the meantime, we will begin reviewing applications so we can find her the perfect forever home.
If you’d like to open your heart and home to this precious girl and be part of her next chapter, please submit an application to adopt her.
Adoption Fee $375 ($75 refund with proof of spay)

Adopting a puppy in Lancaster
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
