Prevention
At Faithful Friends we know that only with the involvement and support of the
community can we create a more compassionate solution to pet overpopulation and
homelessness. To dramatically reduce the euthanasia rates in Delaware, we
worked for 5 years with educating legislators, our membership and the community
on the national model spay/neuter programs that are reducing euthanasia
dramatically.
In June 2006 we successfully worked with local animal welfare agencies through
the support of Carl Danberg, Attorney General to craft and get passed into law a
national model law and soon to be program for low cost spay/neuter on a
state-wide scale (like our $20 Peg Farrow Program that has ended), It is this
program model that fully funded in the states of New Jersey and New Hampshire
reduced their euthanasia rates annually anywhere from 45% to 75%.
Outreach
For years, homeless pets have been treated as throw-a-ways or considered surplus and disposed of - but homeless or not - pets have so much to give back - young, old, disabled or ornery these pets are ready to help people!!! That is why the Just 'Fur' You Pet Therapy Program is the first of many outstanding therapeutic programs.

"Hello! My name is Tanya and I am a very sweet and lovely
10-year-old special needs cat. I was hit by a car and have several healthy issues as a result of this experience. I have to wear a special diaper when I'm roaming around the shelter, but I don't mind making a fashion statement while going to say hello to all my friends! You would never know I've had such a tough journey by my friendly personality. I am very loving and enjoy getting attention. If you have room in your home and heart, I promise I won't disapoint!
Tanya is one of several cats and dogs in our care who are not likely
to be adopted easily because of their special needs. You can help her or
another dog or cat by signing up for our new Sponsor-A-Friend program. Thank
you! |

| Betsy is a sweet and
playful 3 year old female orange tabby that was left at the doorstep of
Faithful Friends. Nobody knows exactly how she got here, but we do know that
she is indeed rare in that it is difficult to find a female orange
tabby cat as most are usually male. This girl is a real sweetheart and
who knows what other fun surprises she has up her..paw?

Curley is a sweet 6-7-year old Pit Bull
and Boxer mix. "I am an old soul with a big heart in need of a very
special home. I came to Faithful Friends from an abusive situation a couple
years ago and it is time to find me a real home! I absolutely love people
and wiggle my butt when I'm happy! I love to get belly rubs and cuddle in
your lap. I like to chew on plush toys or go for car rides. I love cookies
and other treats, too! I cannot live with other dogs, cats or small animals.
I'd like to live in a home with an experienced individual who is willing to
keep me as their only pet. Trust me, I have more than enough love to fill
your household!" Adopter must own their own home.

Rose:
I'm a former feral who came to the shelter with my two kittens. They have
long since been adopted, but I remain. I am very shy around people - I
haven't learned to trust them yet. Please sponsor me so that I can continue
to get the support from the people at Faithful Friends. |

pieces!

| Hi! I'm Trey and I am a 5 year old Pit Bull
Mix. I would love a chance at a new home since my owner could no longer
care for me. I love to play with other dogs and visit the dog park! I
cannot live with cats, but I really enjoy playing with kids and going for
car rides! I may be a little shy if you visit me in the shelter, but give
me a chance and I know we could be great friends. |
Daniella: Hi, I'm Daniella! I'm a beautiful 1 year old female Shepherd mix. I am very sweet and friendly and love to go for walks! I'm very smart and a fast learner, to! I will need to be the only pet in the home, but I love people and can't wait to get to know you! Please give me a chance at a new and loving forever home.

Monkey: Hi! I'm Monkey! I'm a handsome chocolate & white
10 month old American Pit Bull Terrier male. My name is Monkey because I
make all kinds of funny little sounds that remind you of a cute little
monkey. I am a really big talker with a super outgoing personality to match.
I get along great with most other dogs and cats. I'm still working on house
training, but I'm doing very well so far. I would do best in an active home
with an experienced owner. I love to run and play and would do best in a
home with children over the age of 10. If you're looking for a handsome guy
to brighten your day and keep you laughing all night long, then look no
further! I'm in a foster home right now, so call to make an appointment to
meet me! |
Marigold: Hi! I'm Marigold! I'm a 3 year old Rottie Girl. I've had a bit of a
rough start and I am looking for a new life and a new owner that can show me
how great life is. I was pushed out of a car as it sped off, but luckily a
good samaritan scooped me up and took me to safety. I'm a big wiggle butt
when I'm happy, especially when you tell me I'm a good girl. I like cats and
other dogs. I would need a home with no kids or kids over the age of 10. I
am still working on house training and would do best in a home with a fenced
yard. I love chew treats and playing tug or going for rides in the car. I
even like baths and being brushed. Come down and see what a special girl I
am! |
