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: $500 Tricycle is a 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix who is rolling his three wheels on a trail leading straight to your heart! Tricycle was rescued from a hoarding situation with his brothers, Unicycle and Bicycle. We promised to find these amazing pups the best forever homes and after inflating their tires and giving them some TLC, we were ready to hit the trails! Tricycle weighs 15 pounds and has that perfect JRT body for those who know and love the breed. If you’re ready for a new companion to take on life with, come on down to the DPS bike shop and meet Tricycle! Tricycle is like a caterpillar: we know that inside of him is a gorgeous butterfly just waiting to unfurl his wings and fly! Tricycle came to us very scared of the world around him as it hadn’t been so kind to him. We gave him the time he needed to decompress and could tell he knew life was only going to get better from there. Fast forward a few days, Tricycle was getting comfortable and started giving some puppy kisses to his foster mom. He’s even started figuring out how amazing a good long belly rub can be and his little tail wags when he sees his treats. We’ve seen him gain bravery as the days pass by which is just the most rewarding aspect of rescue in the world. Tricycle even found out how amazing being cuddled is and he will sit by your side on the couch quietly as he soaks up your love. Tricycle is a loving guy who just wants to show you how much potential he has if you give him the chance. Once you earn his trust, you will be rewarded with a lifetime of devotion. Tricycle is super smart as well as any good JRT is and he’s perceptive too! One day he saw his canine foster sibling perform for a treat and the next day he was doing his best to mirror the behavior for the reward. What a genius we have on our hands! Tricycle can’t wait to pedal his way into your heart and never leave again! Tricycle starts his morning when his foster mom starts the coffee pot, around 6 AM. He heads out for a potty session before returning to his pen for breakfast. Once he’s finished eating, he gets a cuddle session before his foster mom heads to work. During the day, Tricycle snoozes off and on in his various plush beds. He loves to sunbathe and is often found sleeping on his back as he soaks up the sun. Once his foster mom comes home, he goes out on a walk to stretch his legs and sniff. Dinner is served around 6 PM followed by some TV watching on the couch. He goes out for one last potty before going back into his pen around 11 PM. Tricycle has always lived with other dogs and would benefit from a resident confident dog in his forever home. He adores his people and will cautiously meet new people as long as his person is nearby to encourage him. He loves his walks and is getting braver at exploring the world outside the front door. Tricycle will require a home prepared to continue his socialization and exposure training to ensure his confidence continues to grow. Come on and unlock the bike lock on Tricycle’s heart and meet your new pal! Tricycle is only an option for homes with prior dog owning experience. He is an option for foster to adopt. Tricycle would be best suited for an adult-only home. October 16, 2024, 9:10 am
