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: $650

 

Whatchamacallit (Cal) is a 10 month old Border Terrier x Dachshund mix ready to bring smiles to his forever home! Cal was rescued from the shelter with his sister, Jiggy. We don’t know why this handsome dude landed in the shelter but we promised him his next home would be perfect! Cal currently weighs around 12 pounds and we expect he will remain under 15 pounds when he reaches his adult weight. Cal is just adorable and he’s ready to bring the whimsy and joy to his new people!

 

 

Cal is an energetic and curious little gentleman who can’t wait to take on the world with you! He loves trotting after his people as they cover new trails… or as you drop snacks for him. Cal is a total snuggler who would be thrilled to spend the day in your lap, but he’s also down for some solo playtime! He is content to be in your presence even if he isn’t getting constant attention, but he would never say no to giving out some kisses or getting some snuggles. Like any puppy, Cal is full of energy. He loves to play and he’s always down for another lap around the block. Don’t underestimate the little dogs folks… their legs can take them far! However, once the adventure is over, Cal is ready for a long nap on one of his plush thrones. This guy is a huge lover as well and is often found curled up with one (or five) plush toys on his dog bed. His tail is always wagging and he is so amazing it’s impossible not to fall madly in love with him from day one! He would be a fabulous ambassador for those who love the Dachshund breed as he’s got that perfect low-rider body. 

Cal wakes up around 8 AM and goes outside for a short walk/potty break. He gets breakfast at 9 AM before he settles in for his morning nap on the couch. Cal wakes back up around 10 AM and spends time exploring the house and playing with his toys. He goes outside a few times a day for potty breaks and some leaf sniffing. Once the workday ends. Cal goes out for a longer walk around 6 PM. He eats dinner once he gets back to his foster home as his people wrap up their day. Once he’s finished eating, he settles into the living room couch as he unwinds with some Netflix. Cal goes out for one more bathroom break around 10 PM and then heads into his crate for the night. 

Cal has lived with dogs throughout his life and gets along well with them all. He is super playful! He is always down to meet new people, especially kids with snacks. He walks well on a leash but would benefit from additional training, as he’s still very much in the puppy stage. Cal can’t wait to find a family that will know they won the lottery with him. What(chamacallit) are you waiting for!

 

  

Cal is an option for homes with prior dog experience. We will consider first-time homes if they demonstrate readiness for a pup. Kids should be over 6.

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.
