Fur-Ever Paws Dog Rescue

Fur-Ever Paws Dog Rescue is a 501C Non-Profit Dog Rescue. We are a new rescue just getting started in the Newark, Delaware and Elkton, MD area. Our rescue focuses on rescuing and placing homeless, neglected, or abused dogs from High-Kill shelters from the South.

We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed and permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and cost of bringing a dog into their homes and lives.

Animals in our care receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes.

Finally, We strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and Humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for the homeless dogs.
