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: $800

 

Larry is a 1 year old Maltese x Poodle mix who is as fluffy as a lamb and as cute as a button! Larry was surrendered to our rescue when his former home was no longer able to care for him. They reached out to us and asked if we could find him a forever home and we agreed. Larry weighs 17 pounds and is truly a fabulous fluffy pup. He has a non-shedding coat that will require regular grooming. He is an option for those with allergies. Life will be a bundle of laughs with lovable Larry, we know it! 

 

 

Larry is a happy, playful, loving gentleman who promises to teach his forever people the meaning of living your best life! Larry made himself right at home in his foster home, instantly sniffing out all the best toys and snuggle spots. He loves a game of fetch or some squeaky time with a plush toy. He’s happy all the time and every new activity delights him more than the last. He is a total lovebug and can spend hours snuggling next to you on the couch as you enjoy a movie night. However, he can also join you on a walk to check out the falling leaves as the weather cools down. This foodie would love to check out the local restaurant scene with you, especially menus with treats for dogs! If you’re looking for a fashion buddy, we think Larry would rock a collection of bandanas and sweaters. He makes everything look like it was made just for him. Larry’s dream home is a family that is ready for a loyal new friend. He is a great cuddle buddy and just wants to be with his people! Larry’s foster mom has fostered several dogs and she says Larry is the most loving and cuddly pup she’s had! He has a knack for making even the most mundane moments magical. 

Larry wakes up every morning at 7 AM with a smile on his face and heads out for his first potty break. He joins his foster family on school dropoff and then gets a short walk around the neighborhood. He has breakfast at 8:30 AM and then takes a long morning nap as his foster mom starts her workday. Larry loves keeping her company as he snoozes until lunch. He has a little snack and then follows her around the household chores. Once everyone comes home from school and work, he heads out on another long walk where he shows off his handsome, fluffy form to his admirers. He comes home and has dinner at 6 PM, followed by some zoomies in the yard and toy time in the house. Larry hops up on the couch for some TV time as he unwinds from the day. He ends the night snuggled in bed with his foster mom and dreams of treats to come! 

Larry has met dogs his size and loves his doggy playdates. He warms up to new people instantly and runs over for cuddles. Larry is working on his leash walking skills and would do well with some additional reinforcement. He is 90% house trained according to his foster mom. If you’re looking for a velcro pup, look no further than Larry. He will change your life from minute one and we know you will have so many adventures. Live like Larry and bring him home today! 

 

 

Larry is an option for those with prior dog owning experience. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.

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.
