Story
Bart is the largest of the Simpson’s litter, a tiny 10 week old 5 lb Terrier mix puppy. He has a smooth coat with the cutest little scruffy chin & a chirpy bark. He has a shy, sweet nature & is the bravest of his little siblings. He has a curious personality, he’s enamored with spurts of water & getting into typical puppy mischief. He’s energetic & fast as he does little zoomies. He’s a fun, silly puppy that loves running around & playing tug, wrestling with his doggy siblings. He should have a canine sibling that he can learn from, to continue building confidence & a yard to play in. He is potty training using a dog door to go on grass & loves the freedom to go outside all day. He prefers to sleep snuggling with people & other pets instead of being in a crate. He’s fostered with multiple dogs of all sizes & ages. The puppies were terrified after being rescued but with time & a loving hand they are blossoming. They are still timid when you go to pick them up, as a baby they just don’t understand yet & are a little scared. To help gain their trust and adopter will need patience, understanding & positive reinforcement as they come out of their shell. They are scared of loud noises & when chased to be picked up, an adopter will need to play with them at their level. They would be best for dog savvy older kids that have experience being gentle with pets & keep in mind they still have sharp baby teeth. They do not live with cats but are expected to do fine with them. They are not fully vaccinated yet & cannot be on public ground where other possibly unvaccinated animals or wildlife may expose her to disease. This includes; no playing on park grass, no walks on sidewalks, no apartment common areas or dog runs, no non-fenced in yards until they are fully vaccinated. An after adoption plan will need to be in place that is specific to athis nurturing a puppy’s needs for there to be a successful transition, a family committed to providing mental & physical stimulation, socialization & structured training.

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 Meet Lego, a spunky little guy with a big personality who is 2 years old and weighs 15lbs. He has a daily routine that’s as structured as a carefully built masterpiece! This energetic pup kicks off his day with a refreshing morning walk around 8:30 AM, followed by breakfast at 9 AM—because even the most playful pups need fuel! While his humans work from home, Lego stays busy with his chew sticks, treat-filled Kong, or a well-deserved nap (being adorable is hard work, after all). Evenings are reserved for another walk, followed by dinner and some serious relaxation time in his cozy bed while his humans unwind.   Lego is a confident, food-motivated little dude who thrives on routine and structure. He’s still learning that not every dog wants to play at his high-energy pace, but he’s working on being a gentler friend. He’s crate-trained, mostly housetrained, and knows all the important tricks—sit, paw, down, and “leave it” (especially when treats are involved!). While he’s still getting the hang of leash manners, his enthusiasm for squirrels and other exciting sights might lead to some occasional pulling. He’s got a playful spirit and would love an active home that understands his zest for life.   Lego is looking for an experienced, confident home that can help him continue to build his trust and navigate his handling sensitivities. He tends to bond more closely with the male in the home and prefers his personal space over cuddles, but he’s got plenty of love to give in his own independent way. With patience, structure, and a good stash of treats, Lego will thrive in a home that appreciates his quirks and celebrates his wins. Are you ready to be the final piece in Lego’s forever home puzzle?   Lego is only an option for a home that has had dogs and demonstrate a vast knowledge of dog behavior on the application. If children they need to be teenagers and grown up with dogs.January 25, 2025, 7:43 pm
