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

 

The Gum puppies are a litter of 3 month old Pomeranian x Dachshund mixes who can’t wait to pop into your arms! This litter was surrendered to the shelter at only 9 weeks old when Dad decided there were too many dogs in the house. We jumped into action and saved these little pups, promising to find them perfect forever homes. This litter is 4 boys and 1 girl. We expect the puppies to be in the 12-15 pound range when they reach their adult weight, though Mom only weighs 7 pounds. If you’re ready to pop in a new flavor, come pick up a pack of Gum! 

 

 

Bazooka (M): Bazooka is a fluffy Mama’s Boy who knows just how handsome he is and he can’t wait to show it! Bazooka’s tail never stops wagging as he goes about his day, hopping from toy to toy with an amused outlook. Everything Bazooka encounters is his new favorite thing, even if it’s the same kibble he eats every day. Bazooka also loves cuddling and he will place a little paw on your arm as you snuggle him in close, making sure you direct all your attention to his fluffy coat. Bazooka lives life to the fullest and he will make sure you do as well as you take on the world together. Come and grab your favorite puppy flavor of Bazooka today! 

Big Red (M): Big Red is a fluffy dude who makes his personality fill every room he enters. He is a cuddle monster who is known to fling himself into any open lap… or lap occupied by one of his siblings. His fluffy coat is as soft as a cloud which makes him a dream to cuddle with. He loves giving kisses and will keep you on your toes as he zooms from room to room with his toys. He loves to play and be with his people, so he will make sure you live life BIG as soon as he trots into your arms. Come unwrap a piece of Big Red today! 

Bubblicious (F): Bubblicious is the sweetest little girl with adorable puppy dog eyes. As the solo gal of the litter, she keeps up with her brothers and has such a zest for life it’s infectious! Bubblicious loves playing with her foster brother and when she gives puppy kisses her tail wags a million miles a minute as she wriggles with excitement. Bubblicious is such a charming lady who has a ton of love to offer the world. She charms everyone she meets with her gorgeous green eyes and her soft fur. Her sweetness is matched only by her fantastic temperament. We know that once you pull a pack of Bubblicious off the shelf, your life will get sweeter by the day!  

Juicy Fruit (M): Juicy Fruit is the smallest of the bunch but he has the most love and affection to give! This puppy adores his humans and is always down for extra snuggles and kisses… until he is ready for a romp with his siblings! Juicy Fruit loves being cuddled in a fuzzy blanket and hilariously loves to burrow so only his little nose sticks out. Even though he is small, he doesn’t let his siblings push him around and he plays with the rest of them happily. Juicy Fruit is super affectionate to everyone he meets and we know he will make his future home bloom with light and silliness. Come pop in a pipsqueak piece of Juicy Fruit! 

Zebra Stripe (M): Zebra Stripe is Mr. Calm and Collected in the midst of puppy chaos. Zebra is most likely to hang back during a wrestling match between his brothers, preferring to squeak one of his toys or hang out in a warm lap. He is super go with the flow as he marches to the beat of his own drum, however he is still ready to spend his days with you! Zebra Stripes unique coloring makes him stick out from the bunch which gets him extra snuggles and kisses as he meets new fans. As you cuddle on the couch at the end of the day to catch up on your shows, why not add a piece of Zebra Stripe to the lineup? 

 

 

The Gum puppies start their morning around 6:30 AM with a morning stretch before breakfast. Once they finish eating, they head outside for a potty break and playtime in the yard. They come back inside and nap for a few hours before lunch at 12 PM. In the afternoon, they each get some one-on-one cuddle time with their foster humans followed by more playtime and wrestling. They have dinner at 5 PM and spend the rest of their evening playing and cuddling on repeat until bedtime at 9 PM. 

The Gum puppies have been socialized with the family dog and all love playing! They love their humans and charm anyone who has the chance to meet them. Interested homes should be prepared to discuss plans for continued training and socialization so the puppies grow up to be good canine citizens. We promise with a Gum puppy in your life everything will POP! 

 

 

The Gum puppies are 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 5.
