Meet D'Artagnan, our 5-year-old Yorkipoo with a big personality packed into a little body! If you're looking for a fun-loving companion, this sweet and silly guy is up for whatever adventure you're planning. Whether it's binge-watching Emily in Paris, spending a weekend at the beach, or even just cleaning the house, D'Artagnan is your loyal sidekick who will make everything more enjoyable.
He’s an affectionate pup who thrives on positive reinforcement and learns quickly by watching his canine buddies. D'Artagnan loves going for walks. He can be excitable on the leash, so continued positive reinforcement training will help with that, though he's more of a short-walk enthusiast than a hiker. If you're up for carrying him in a pet backpack, he's totally game! He adores puzzle toys, frozen Kongs, and, of course, snuggles with his favorite humans.
While he can be a bit nervous in new situations or with strangers, D'Artagnan quickly warms up with encouragement and patience. He’s not a fan of rain or wet grass, but he loves playdates with other dogs, especially calm or small ones, really bring out his playful, joyful side.
We are sure this little Musketeer would love a yard, but he’d be fine with apartment living too, as long as he has enough playtime to get his zoomies out!
D'Artagnan dislikes surprises, loud motorcycles, and people sneaking up behind him, but he’s fine with vacuums. With his wiggly, curious, and playful nature, he’ll charm everyone he meets—even if he barks first he quickly transitions to licks on the hand. If you’re ready for a cuddly, fun-loving companion who will be by your side no matter what, D'Artagnan is your guy!
At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info.
*/*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/*
We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time.
For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com.
GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well.
*/*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter.
*****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications. If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted. We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that. Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you. Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal. Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****
