My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. 

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.



Adoption Fee: $750

  

Pumpkin Spice is a 1 year old Papillon x Dachshund mix looking for her Forever Fall Family! Pumpkin was rescued from the shelter after she was surrendered for reasons unknown. What we do know is that this girl is adorable and ready for a lifetime of pup cups and kisses! Pumpkin weighs 10 pounds and is the most perfect pipsqueak ever! If you’re ready for a taste of fall, order up a cup of Pumpkin Spice today! 

 

  

Pumpkin Spice is the sweetest little girl on the planet! She loves her people and knows that her cute face will make her the center of attention in the home lucky enough to adopt her. She loves giving kisses to her family members. She also loves her toys, especially Lamb Chop (if you know you know). While Pumpkin adores spending her days with her people, she is also perfectly fine to entertain herself when needed. However, she’d love a home looking for a constant companion as she is thrilled to love you. Pumpkin is a little bundle of energy and playfulness. Don’t let her small size fool you, this girl can walk for miles and would be a fabulous adventure companion. Pumpkin would fit in well in any kind of home, as either a companion dog or as a solo pup. She thrives on routine but is also always up for an adventure of any kind. She is the ideal blend of playful energy and sleepy cuddles. 

Pumpkin Spice starts her morning at 6 AM, poking her head out from under the covers of her dog bed blanket. She doles out kisses and snuggles before she’s ready to head outside with her foster siblings for potty and playtime. After her breakfast at 6:30 AM, she heads out for a 45 minute walk. She comes home for some playtime while her people get ready for the day. She keeps herself occupied during the day with her toys and her foster siblings. She also loves a good nap! When everyone comes home from work, she has her dinner at 5 PM before she heads out on her long evening walk. After she soaks up all the snuggles and cuddles on the couch at night, she starts to unwind from the day. She goes out for one last potty and then goes to bed at 10 PM. 

Pumpkin Spice currently lives with two dogs and they get along well. She also met a cat at our Safehouse and she was fine with the cat. She pretty much ignored the cat. She could go to a home with a cat. She loves meeting new people and befriends everyone! She walks well on a leash and she is house trained. She would benefit from some additional socialization and doggie training. Our favorite thing about Pumpkin is how adorable it is when her head pops out from under the covers in the morning. She’s just amazing in every way! Order a cup of PSL today! 

 

 

Pumpkin Spice is an option for homes with prior dog ownership experience. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
