Story
Meet Birdie! She is around 1 year old and we believe she is a Terrier and Chihuahua mixed with possibly Basenji. She has short caramel, black and white colored fur. She is a super sweet girl who loves her toys and you will always see her with a stuffed toy in her mouth. She is housetrained when she has access to a backyard and enjoys going for walks and playing with dog friends. She can be a little choosy with dogs at the dog park so isn't the best choice if you are looking for a dog to take regularly to the dog park. She loves all people, including kids. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting Birdie, then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today! We recommend completing the questionnaire and connecting with an adoption coach before looking for a dog or puppy you'd like to adopt. If you're already approved to adopt or if you've adopted from Labs and More before, connect with your adoption coach for the next steps. Your interest in adopting a rescued dog or puppy from Labs and More Rescue is appreciated! Please find our adoption information at www.labsandmore.org. Your adoption donation provides funding for Labs and More, a nonprofit organization which is supported solely by Volunteers and funded by donations. Good news is your adoption donation can be considered tax deductible. So much care is provided to your new dog prior to the adoption, including: spay and neuter, microchip, veterinarian visit(s), vaccinations, and other medical care as needed. Many of the dogs we rescue require extensive surgeries and care prior to adoption. Please understand we are unable to predict future behavior or medical needs of your adopted dog. We provide no guarantees regarding behavior, breed, or age of the dogs. Thank you for rescuing. Thank you for joining the Adoption Family with Labs and More Rescue. We are here to help you find a furry companion. You will find our quick and easy adoption application at www.labsandmore.org and click on Adopt. Please email us at I doginfo@labsandmore.org if you need assistance. Thank you for looking to a rescue group to fulfill your dream of adding a new dog to your life!

Story
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: $700   Crockpot is a 5 year old Basenji x Corgi mix who is cooking up some love for his forever family! Crockpot came from the shelter as part of our “comfort food” collective and he has lived up to that descriptor ever since! Crockpot has that perfect long and low body of a Corgi with the face of a Basenji. He’s the best of both worlds! Crockpot weighs 17 pounds and is the perfect size for any adventure you could have planned, regardless of the season. If you’re ready for a helping of adorable pup, come pick up Crockpot today!      Crockpot may be a little guy but he is absolutely bursting with personality and charm. He adores his humans and wants to be near them all the time, so he would be an amazing fit for someone who works from home or who can bring a dog to the office. He is super goofy and loves playing hide and go seek or tag. Crockpot is still learning how to “dog” so toys are a bit of a mystery for him, but we have faith he will figure them out eventually. Crockpot is exceptionally cute with floppy ears and a curled tail. He is so loyal and loving and makes an impression on everyone he meets. Crockpot is extremely affectionate and is always ready to shower his people in kisses while he curls up next to you on the couch. He likes to place a gentle paw on you while he snoozes which means you can take a nap as well. It’s the best of both worlds! Come and scoop up some delicious Crockpot today and make the most of this cold weather staple.  Crockpot wakes up around 6:30 AM and goes right outside to potty. He comes in for breakfast and then heads out on a walk with his foster sister around the neighborhood. He gets tons of attention on his stroll and then goes into his pen while his humans are at work. He goes out around noon for potty and playtime and then takes a nap until his humans finish their workday. He goes out for another walk in the evening before he gets his dinner. He spends the rest of the evening lounging in the living room and cuddling with his humans until he goes to bed in his crate for the night.  Crockpot lives with a resident Golden Retriever and they get along well. He mostly ignores the resident senior car. He walks well on a leash besides some pulling his foster home has been working on. Crockpot does well when he meets new adults but little hands might be overwhelming for him until he feels comfortable. Come and meet this handsome hunk today!      Crockpot is only an option for homes who have previously owned a dog of their own. Kids should be over the age of 10. April 9, 2025, 2:43 pm
