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: $850

 

Christmas is a 14 week old Papillon mix who’s ready to keep the holiday spirit going into the New Year! Christmas arrived at our rescue on Christmas Eve with his pal, Eve! He was surrendered to the shelter weighing only 3 pounds. The shelter is no place for a little guy, so we scooped him up just in time to celebrate the holidays in style! We expect Christmas will end up in the 8-10 pound range when he is fully grown, so he will always be a little pipsqueak. Come keep the paw-ty going with Christmas!

 

 

Christmas is an adorable, happy little puppy who takes in the world with all the wonder and amazement only a puppy could have! He adores his toys and carries them around with him wherever he goes. He has tons of puppy energy which makes him a fabulous active family member. However, he also loves his snuggle time and is happy to lay on your lap as you scratch behind his ears and shower him in love. Christmas, though he is little, is also fearless! He learned how to scamper up the stairs quickly and now he does them like a pro! Like any puppy he is go go go until he tires himself out and then he’s ready for a well-deserved snooze! Christmas is so full of curiosity that he makes every day more exciting. It’s hard not to smile when you see him zooming across the room as he chases a toy before he curls up in your lap for a snooze. We know this handsome boy will be the talk of the town when he hits the streets, so prepare your social calendar now! You’ll be hosting Christmas in July in no time! 

Christmas wakes up around 6 AM and hangs out in his pen until his humans wake up. He goes outside to do his business before zooming back inside for snuggles and breakfast. Once he eats, he wanders around the house as he explores with his toys. He also gets tons of cuddles as he gives out puppy kisses. Christmas has lunch at 12 PM and dinner at 6 PM. In the evening, Christmas hangs out with his foster humans as he watches movies and plays with his toys. He goes out for one more potty at 10 PM before he is placed into his pen for the night. 

Christmas has lived with other dogs and would be a fabulous addition to a home with a playful pup. He loves meeting new people especially when they give him cuddles! Interested homes should be prepared to discuss plans for continued training and socialization. If you’re ready for a winter dose of adorableness, adopt Christmas! 

  

Christmas is only an option for homes who have owned a dog of their own in the last 5 years. Kids 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.
