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 July 14, 2024, 10:39 am

Story
Sweet Esmerelda (44164) looks like a different dog between when she first came in the shelter to now after her grooming. Esmerelda is a 10 month old female Shih Tzu that came to the shelter as a stray. Since she came in as a stray, we do not know of her past. While being at the shelter, Esmerelda loves to jump up for attention and run around in the yard with her doggie friends. She was initially pretty head shy, especially during her grooming. Potential adopters will be required to keep up monthly with her grooming needs. That way she can continue to gain confidence with being groomed and brushed. Please give the shelter a call first to check on Esmerelda’s application status. You can visit Esmerelda during our Animal Viewing hours below to meet and apply on her. Location: Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center 8576 Davis Rd Columbia, MD 21045 You can call first to see if this pet is still available: 410-313-2780 Option 0. Applications are accepted in person at our facility after you visit this pet out of their cage. Animal Viewing Hours: Mon, Wed, Fri 10:00-4:30 (Closed at 2:30 the last Friday of each month) Tues & Thurs 1:30-7:00 Sat 10:00-2:00 (Closed on county observed holidays and holiday weekends.) Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 12, 2024, 5:04 pm

Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
Mega is a wonderful dog. I have had him and raised him since he was 8 weeks old. His birthday is July 4th and he just turned seven. He is house trained and well behaved also crate trained. He does well with kids and is not aggressive with people. He is not used to being around other dogs so his behavior is unpredictable around them. Mega loves to be outside and play. He enjoys playing with his toys and bringing his toys to you so you will play as well. I am having a baby and I haven’t had much time for Mega and he deserves more attention and time than I can give him. I want him to be able to get his cuddles everyday, because he is very affectionate, and his exercise outside. It will be hard to let him go but I will feel comfortable knowing he is with a family that wants a dog and will give him the love time and attention he deserves and needs. He needs his shots for 2024 and goes to Pet Wellness Clinic in Brooklyn, Baltimore who has his records.
