Dog Name: Shy Guy

Breed: Retriever mix

S*x: Neutered Male

Age: 2+ years

Weight: 45 lbs.

Medical Needs: None

Housebroken: Mostly. He’ll pace or bark when he needs to go out. If you miss the cue, he will have an accident.

Crate trained: Yes. He will want and need to spend most of his first week or two in a crate as his safe place. When he has adjusted to his new home, he will go in when led and is fine while you are out. He does not like being closed in one if you are home. Once he accepts you as his person, he will prefer to sleep on a pet bed next to yours.

Good in the car: Yes. He loves to go for a ride, even if it’s just around the block or a grocery pickup. He enjoys looking out the back window or having his head out a partially opened window, smelling all the scents.

Good on a leash: Mostly, with a prong collar. Shy Guy loves sniffing all the scents, standing still listening to unusual noises, and finding new paths to blaze. He will try to bolt if something startles him. Initially, he will hide behind you, so learning the quick turn maneuver will be the only way you’ll see him the first couple of weeks.

Energy level: medium. Shy Guy loves to snooze and spend time chewing on a treat. However, give him the freedom of a securely fenced yard, and he will do laps like a race car driver.

Need a fenced in yard: Yes, a secured fenced yard is needed for his safety and your peace of mind. Shy is a high flight risk. For the first couple of weeks he will need leashed walks, even in the confines of a fence. He will bolt and take flight when startled or gets out of a confined space. He would love a large yard for zoomies and basking in the sun while chewing on a chew stick.

Dog Friendly: Yes

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? Not necessarily, however another resident dog would show him you are safe and trustworthy and teach him how to be a family dog.

Cat Friendly? Yes, mostly ignores them unless they are acting sneaky.

Kid Friendly: Yes, after trust has been established.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any with proper supervision

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Shy Guy came into his foster home just a little over three months ago. He was terrified of any interaction with us for the first several days. Slowly he came to trust us and now enjoys interacting and living with us like any well-adjusted dog. He is a sweet, loving dog who deserves a sweet, loving family that will give him time to trust them and patiently await his transformation into a beautiful dog living life to his fullest potential. He is already beautiful and healthy, he just needs someone to teach him how wonderful life can be for him.

Shy is still wary of strangers, so he will need a few meet ups (sitting as he approaches) to gain his trust before the transition to his adoptive home. This procedure has worked with a young boy who has been visiting a few times a week for the last couple of weeks. Shy now approaches him for a head rub and treat.

Dog Name: Penelope

Breed: Mixed Breed

S*x: Female

Age: 2

Weight: 36lbs

Medical Needs: Currently taking antibiotics to treat Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis.
Spay scheduled for 5/13 at Brandywine Valley SPCA in Dover. Keeping this appointment is a condition of adoption. As such, adopters must live within 1 hour of DE and be willing to travel to Dover for the appt.

Housebroken: Yes

Crate trained: Yes

Good in the car: Yes

Good on a leash: Yes

Energy level: Low, but will play if engaged

Need a fenced in yard: No

Dog Friendly: Yes, but needs a slow intro. She doesn't like dogs she hasn't met approaching her from behind.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? No

Cat Friendly? She passed her cat test with flying colors at the shelter, but there aren't any in her foster home.

Kid Friendly: Yes

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any with appropriate supervision.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Penelope is a laid back lady who loves attention and beds. She is friendly, quiet, and perfectly content to spend her day snoozing in her bed or chewing on her toys.

She's a perfect medium sized dog that would likely be great in any type of home; though she may take some time to adjust to a lot of stairs or an elevator if you live in an apartment or condo.

04/24/2025

Dog Name: Ms. Bianca

Breed: Miniature Poodle

S*x: Female

Age: 14 years

Weight: 10 lbs.

Medical Needs: No major medical needs. She should take joint supplements for her arthritis.

Housebroken: Yes, with frequent outings like most elderly pets. She will use a strategically placed p*e pad if she doesn’t quite make it.

Crate trained: Yes, although her foster mom does not utilize one very often. She prefers to sleep on a pet bed near her foster's bed.

Good in the car: Yes

Good on a leash: Yes

Energy level: low

Need a fenced in yard: No. However if you choose to let her out without a leash, you will need to keep up with her as she tends to walk quickly (for an elderly gal) and doesn’t really care where she is headed.

Dog Friendly: Yes, she is a petite gal so larger dogs may not be a good fit.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No

Cat Friendly? Yes.

Kid Friendly: Not tested, but she is mild-mannered and shouldn’t be a problem.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any, as long as the kiddos are tender and careful around her.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Ms. Bianca is a sweet senior gal who wants nothing more than a cozy bed, short walks, and soft food for mealtimes. She has had all her teeth removed, so she will need a diet of canned or softened dog food. She loves moist treats or even small hard ones. She loves following her people around and likes being in the mix of things.

Ms. Bianca does have arthritis in her back and legs, giving her a hu**ed and stilted look when walking, but she doesn’t let it stop her enjoyment of daily walks. She also has a few small skin cysts, but they also don’t diminish her enjoyment of living out her golden years. So maybe she isn’t the youngest or prettiest dog on the block, but her love of her people will bring its own rich reward. Maybe you are a senior citizen who walks around a little hunched over and a little stiffly that would love to have Ms. Bianca to share your golden years with. If so, she’s only an application away from being yours.

Dog Name: Daphnie

Breed: Mixed breed

S*x: Female

Age: Approx 1

Weight: 40lbs

Medical Needs: Currently being treated for lyme disease

Housebroken: Can't be left a full work day or she will have an accident.

Crate trained: Doesn't mind the crate at all

Good in the car: Loves car rides

Good on a leash: Will pull when excited but walks pretty well on it.

Energy level: Medium, with spurts of puppy energy

Need a fenced in yard: No

Dog Friendly: Yes, she loves our dogs

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? She doesn't need a sibling but who wouldn't love a friend to play with

Cat Friendly? Ignores our outside cat

Kid Friendly: Yes, loves our kids

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Daphnie would be fine with kids of any age. Currently she's being fostered with a 4 & 8 year old.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Daphnie was seized from a hording case, due to this she's still learning to be a dog in some aspects. As stated above she would do best in a house where you could have someone pop in at least once during the work day or work from home to allow her to go potty.

Daphnie is such a calm and sweet baby girl who wants nothing more than for you to show her you love her with lots of petting and toys (and maybe an occasional pup cup). She is still a puppy so she loves to do zoomies around the house but also enjoys laying in the sunshine outside for hours. If you think daphnie would be a great addition come meet her i promise you will fall in love!

04/23/2025

Dog Name: Grady

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Mix

S*x: Male

Age: 2ish

Weight: 25 lbs

Medical Needs: None

Housebroken: Yes, no accidents.

Crate trained: Yes. Grady is kept in a penned area with a crate. He doesn’t bark unless he hears the other resident dogs gallivanting around or sees a cat strolling by.

Good in the car: Yes. If not crated, he will need to be harnessed since he enjoys jumping from back to rear, to back again, and then hanging out the window with ears flying.

Good on a leash: Pretty good. Grady does some pulling when excited, but overall a good walking buddy.

Energy level: low/medium. Grady sits quietly in his own pen. However, he enjoys a brisk walk when going outside.

Need a fenced in yard: No, as long as he has frequent leashed walks.

Dog Friendly: Yes* Please see below

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No. He would be fine being the only dog to give and receive all the love and attention.

Cat Friendly? No. He likes to chase them. A firm “No” and slight tug on leash has worked well in preventing it.

Kid Friendly: Yes, however he tends to be a jumper-upper when being introduced. His little body cannot contain all the excitement.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 8* Please see below

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Grady was returned to GRR after a week in an adoptive home. As senior citizens, Grady’s need of training and modifications weren’t realistic for them to do. He is super sweet and overall very well-behaved if given a strict structure. Due to his guarding of resources, Grady will need a shutdown period and taught that you have dominion over all resources. His foster mom has successfully managed his guarding by giving Grady meal-size portions (absolutely no free feeding) and putting his leash away after his walks. When these strategies are followed, Grady is a happy, content dog.

Grady is looking for a family who understands how to deal with his guarding issues and love him unconditionally. His person will need to give him a shutdown period and strictly limit his rights, teaching him that you are the pack leader.

*Due to his guarding issues, he will need to be fed in his own space away from other dogs, and children need to understand not to remove his food. Until he finishes it, he still wants it and will guard it. He will warn you with a low growl if you get too close to his leftovers. He is fine when being given treats with other dogs, he just wants his fair share. If a crate treat lasts longer than expected, just wait him out until he finishes it. Grady would make a great addition to a family that has time to teach him you are the provider and controller of all good things. He respects a firm voice and hand when correction is being given on walks.

School is ending soon, which means some of our kids are looking for their summer jobs…including our fur-kids.

Bill Monroe's dream job is to be the fun police. Specifically, the kind that makes sure everyone is having maximum fun!

He's been practicing his megaphone impersonations and really feels like he's got a solid handle on making sure the whole neighborhood hears him. He won't rest until everyone is participating in playtime shenanigans.

Got young kiddos or dogs at home who need to burn off some energy? Bill would be all too happy to help with that.

If Bill Monroe sounds like the employee you've been searching for, apply today at grrde.org!

✨️Training Talk Tuesday✨️

We ALL love our dogs! There’s no doubt about this very fact.

We ALL want nothing more than to include them on our daily errands or adventures as much as we can. I mean how cool would it be if we could take our dogs to work with us every day???

Only problem is, we neglect to realize the effort and time it takes to have a stable dog that CAN actually be taken everywhere with us. Instead, we experience more hassle and embarrassment, than ease and joy, and our dogs end up living much smaller lives as a result

We cannot “LOVE” our dogs out of their bad behavior. Dogs can be well loved, and still be complete wrecks on walks, have meltdowns at Farmers Markets, and go completely bananas during our week-end barbecues.

If we want our dogs to experience bigger, freer lives, we have to come to the realization that rules, boundaries, manners, and respect are the only things that create the opportunity for it.

Total inclusion requires preparation and hard work. If we want our dogs to be the stable, non-reactive, well-behaved we all dream about, then we have to be willing to put in the work.

04/21/2025

Dog Name: Flint

Breed: Mixed

S*x: Male

Age: 8 weeks

Weight: 7 lbs

Medical Needs: Flint will need a rabies shot at approximately 6 months. Will need to be neutered. This appointment will be scheduled through Grass Roots Rescue. Neuter appointments can be requested for Georgetown, Dover, Wilmington or Newark. Foster to adopt families must live within an hour of one of the locations listed above, and must be willing to travel there for the appointment. A required $75 check must be submitted by adopter, which Grass Roots Rescue will hold and then destroy once neuter is verified. Flint will be ready to go to his forever home on 4/26 after his booster shot.

Housebroken: Flint is just a baby. He will go p*e when walked outside but is using p*e pads in the house. Due to his age, Flint can’t be left alone for a full work day. He will either need someone that works from home, or has a solid plan in place for each day they work.

Crate trained: Flint is currently in a puppy pen. We will move to a crate soon to work on training.

Good in the car: Yes! He will snuggle up and sleep.

Good on a leash: Everyday is better!

Energy Level: High puppy energy but will crash once he gets his energy out.

Need a fenced in yard: No, if there is no fence he will need to be leash walked.

Dog Friendly: Yes, he gets along with all other dogs.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its new home? No

Cat Friendly? Unknown, Flint is so young that with proper introductions there should not be a problem.

Kid Friendly: Yes!

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any with supervision. Please keep in mind puppies have sharp little teeth and need to be taught hands are not toys.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Flint joined Grass Roots from West Virginia where his mama was raising her babies in an abandoned burned down house. 🔥The Fire Litter🔥 has been resilient from day one. Flint is different from his siblings with straight fur and a dark black/chocolate color. He is the snuggliest little man! He wants to be tucked into your lap and curled up. He loves attention and to play. Meal times are his favorite time of day.

Flint just wants to be with his people. He is a young puppy, he needs a family that will understand he is going to chew on things he probably shouldn’t and work with him on basic commands and training. Flint will need a home that won’t give in to his puppy dog eyes and will teach him how to be the best boy as he grows up.

Dog Name: Mila

Breed: Mixed

S*x: Female

Age: 3-4

Weight: 38lbs

Medical Needs: Lymes disease - takes 2 antibiotic pills every morning for treatment.

Housebroken: Yes. Mila has not had any accidents inside and you have to convince her to stop paying attention to you and go potty in the grass.

Crate trained: Yes. I have been feeding her in her crate as well as put a bed in her crate- she is now thinking she is in the vip suite and couldn't be happier.

Good in the car: Yes, she just falls asleep.

Good on a leash: Yes. She is still timid if a car, lawn mower or noice making machine goes by. But she stops in her tracks to stare at it until you said "you're good. Walk on."

Energy level: Medium. She would rather stay in the bed and covers all day like a couch potatoe. But she is willing to go anywhere her person goes! When she gets some s***k she will stand on her hind legs and wave her little front paws in the air. She is such a sweetie! The more time goes on, the more she is opening up to chewing on bones, running for 30 seconds with a butt tuck, or walking her first mile walk! Come inside and sees her human is ready to nap, well have no fear she is ready to snuggle in!

Need a fenced in yard: Not necessarily. She has good recall with her person she trusts. Anything that moves fast (bird, dog, leaf haha) she is going to chase it.

Dog Friendly: Yes. Mila needs very slow introductions to understand how the other dogs work and if she can trust them. But leave her alone then she will leave them alone. She is starting to play with my high energized dog that got on her nerves at the beginning. If I let them go together now, they would play now because she has had time to observe my resident dog.
If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No

Cat Friendly? Yes. When tested she didn't care much for them. I would still give slow introductions and corrections to let Mila know that because they move fast doesn't mean they need to be chased.

Kid Friendly: Unsure. But she is just a lover and snuggler. She has been in near sight range of neighborhood kids and only wants to make sure they are okay.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any age with proper supervision

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Mila is a sweet little girl with a heart of gold! The loving eyes that she looks at you with will melt your heart! She came from a hoarding case in West Virginia and was a timid girl. She is quick to give you her trust if you show her you deserve it and will open up to you. She is in tune with your emotions and just wants to please. This little baby will learn quick what you want and how you want it- this will help with teaching commands. Wherever you go, she will be there with you. Time for a walk, no sweat! You can hold her lead with 2 finger tips and she will only be right by your side whether you make a sharp turn or stay in a straight line. She is realizing that bones can be fun and chewed on because she watches her foster brothers and sister chew on them. Squeaky toys are a little scary still but working on it. Plan your day by sleeping the whole day away or going on a long walk- it doesn't matter because Mila is up for whatever your doing. This sweet little girl is receptive to the room and crowd she is in. A dog that will be there for you no matter what, when or how- Mila is your forever girl!

Ash is SO FLUFFY! That white fur is so soft you will want to pet him all day. He is an independent little man, very curious, and doesn’t want to be held all the time. Ash wants to be with his people but he’s not afraid to investigate something new. He is a young puppy, he needs a family that will understand he is going to chew on things he probably shouldn’t and work with him on basic commands and training.

This handsome pup will need a home that won’t give in to his puppy dog eyes and will teach him how to be the best boy as he grows up.

She is very sweet and very loveable. She loves to cuddle, but also ventures off by herself. She is a bit timid and shy, but warms up quickly. She is a smart girl and also learns qu**ky. Had learned sit and likes to play fetch.

Fosters Location: Harbeson, Delaware

School is ending soon, which means some of our kids are looking for their summer jobs… including our fur-kids.

Bonnie’s dream is to one day become a professional pillow tester. (I was gonna tell her that’s not a real thing, but you’re supposed to support their interests, right…?)

So if anyone knows of any internship opportunities for this cuddly girl, she would love to get more experience! Although, my couch pillows would probably say she has plenty of experience already.

Weakness: Differentiating between humans and pillows.

Strengths: Sleeping. Snoring. Snuggling. Being adorable.

If you have an opening that Bonnie would be perfect for, apply today at grrde.org and get yourself one heck of an employee!
