Paws of Tomorrow

Paws of Tomorrow Located at the Delaware Beaches, we are a 501c3 animal rescue founded in 2008. Paws of Tomorrow animal rescue is based out of Fenwick Island, DE.

We are not a shelter, we are an animal rescue that works with shelters to save dogs on death row, as well as injured and abandoned animals. All individuals that work with our rescue are volunteers and do this solely to help these animals find homes. We take pride in knowing that we are not only helping these animals but also helping you find the perfect pet for your home. We are a 501c3 federally

recognized non-profit animal rescue, which means that all donations are fully tax deductible. We accept donations to cover the cost of rescuing and caring for dogs that would otherwise not have a second chance at life. We can only pull dogs if we have the funding to do so. With your help we can help more dogs than ever expected. Together we can save one life at a time. Most people are unaware of what "really" goes on in shelters across America. Our goal is to raise this awareness. Many shelters are high kill shelters, mostly due to lack of financing, lack of volunteers, and lack of space. Many of these shelters are gassing shelters. This means that the animals are placed in a gas chamber to be euthanized. This caused these animals extreme pain. You can read more about this on our “Gas Chamber” web page. If you wish to foster a dog, please fill out our foster application on our application page. We will then contact you to discuss which dog will be right for your home. We see so many dogs each week that are in urgent need of foster homes. You can request to foster a specific dog that shows as "needs foster" on our site or we will help choose one that fits your home the best. You can specify the size, color, breed, etc that you prefer and we will discuss what may be best fitting for your home. We cover all vetting fees for our fostered animals. If you are interested in fostering a dog, please read our foster information page. That information will answer many questions you may have. You may also email our foster team leader: [email protected]

In order to adopt one of our amazing dogs, an adoption application is required. Please see our adoption page to learn more information on our adoption process. You will not be considered until an application is received by us. Once we receive your application we will contact you to do a phone interview. At that time we can answer any questions you may have. Please look at the specific dog you are interested in for the adoption fee. The fees vary by the vetting required, transport, age, and shelter fees for each pet. These fees are non-negotiable. This is an "Adoption Fee" and is solely for the adoption of that pet. We try to fully vet each dog but this is not guaranteed by paying the adoption fee. Please contact our adoption coordinator with any other questions: [email protected]

Paws of Tomorrow will adopt our loving pets to any area in the United States. We can help to provide transport of your new family member however please be aware that transport may require an extra charge. Please contact us for details. We require an application to be submitted prior to meeting one of our pets. We want to know a little about you before sending you to our volunteer’s home. Adopting is a huge responsibility and we need to know this will be a lifelong commitment to the animal. Paws of Tomorrow, Inc. will only consider adoption to FOREVER homes. It is also mandatory that if for any reason you cannot keep the pet at anytime, the animal must be returned to our rescue. If we find that you have not honored this, legal charges will be filed. The application/contract you sign explains all of this also. We do not tolerate any of our dogs going back to a shelter. We do not rescue them from high kill shelters for them to end up back where they started. We take this oath seriously and expect all our adopters to do the same. Adopting should be a lifelong commitment and rewarding experience! If you are interested in joining our team, please fill out a volunteer application. We have many positions that need to be filled within our group, as well as other ways for volunteers to assist us. We welcome anyone who has a passion for helping animals. If you would like to assist with us with fundraising or have a fundraising idea for our group, please contact one of our fundraising coordinators:

Sweet Sugarplum is looking for her forever home 💕

This tiny girl has been through a lot, but despite it all, she still just wants someone to love. Sugarplum can be shy and scared at first, especially with new people, but once she feels safe, she becomes the most loyal little shadow you could ask for.

She adores children, loves small dogs, is fully housebroken, crate trained, and happiest curled up beside her person. Sugarplum would thrive in a calm, patient home with someone who understands that trust takes time — but she is SO worth it.

She’s the kind of dog who will look at you like you hung the moon once she knows she’s safe. 🥺

Please share to help this special girl find the loving home she deserves.

ISO a foster or forever home for these two sweet babies! Please share and help us, help them.

Foster found: Say hello to Gizmo, a 3½-year-old French Bulldog with a wobbly walk and a heart of gold. This sweet boy is housebroken, crate trained, and knows some commands—he’s the total indoor companion package! He’s lived happily with a large male dog, a cat, and children as young as 2 years old. Gizmo has been diagnosed with a slipped disk, which gives him a wobbly gait, but surgery isn’t needed at this time. We are trying to find him a home where he can be loved, supported, and spoiled like he deserves.

And let’s not forget sweet Lizzy, a gentle 5-year-old bulldog with the softest eyes and an even softer heart. Though a bit shy at first, Lizzy is a sweet soul who warms up with quiet patience and a kind touch. Her journey hasn’t been easy—she was recently left at the shelter by her previous owner, and she’s still adjusting to the change. Despite the confusion and sadness, Lizzy remains hopeful. She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. With a little time and a lot of love, Lizzy is sure to become a loyal companion and a true best friend.

This shelter has limited space and we would love to get these two to a safe place.

This shelter is the reason we started Paws of Tomorrow! We rescued no less than 1000 dogs, Silvia Kim and Bladen County Animal Control and Shelter. This is a huge loss for all involved, but most importantly these animals. Please consider donating to them, if you can.

No pets were reportedly injured in the fire.
