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: $650 Bacon Bits is a 10 year old Yellow Lab, and though he's earned his 'Golden Oldie' status, he still has plenty of love, joy, and energy to share. We were thrilled to rescue him and give him the life he deserves, one filled with comfort, attention, and a family to call his own. While Bacon may have a few graying hairs, you’d never guess his age by his enthusiasm and playful spirit. His gentle nature and zest for life have made him a treasured companion, showing us every day that a dog’s heart only grows bigger with time. When Bacon Bits first arrived at our home, he was eager to make friends and get involved in everything we were doing. Though he was recovering from a cough and still adjusting to his new surroundings, his enthusiasm to be part of the family was clear from day one. Over time, he’s relaxed into his new life and has become even more affectionate. He no longer feels the need to follow us everywhere, but he loves to cuddle up on the couch or nap beside us while we work. His appetite is back, and though he prefers to graze throughout the day, he’s healthy, content, and more settled than ever. Bacon Bits is surprisingly energetic for a Golden Oldie! He enjoys his morning and evening walks and has a playful streak when he dashes around the yard. You’ll often catch him running with a joyful spark, chasing after anything that catches his attention. His love for life is contagious—it’s impossible not to smile when you see him sprinting around, ears flapping in the wind. He also knows how to take it easy, content to sit by your side and watch TV, especially when All Creatures Great and Small comes on. Bacon is especially fond of the dogs on the show, his eyes lighting up every time they appear. Bacon Bits is a very social boy and gets along well with our resident dog, Mac, a bulldog/pit mix. While Bacon is a bit protective of his toys, offering a friendly warning if Mac gets too close, they’ve become the best of friends. Bacon is always up for a romp in the yard or a peaceful moment with Mac. He also has a curious fascination with our barn cats, watching them intently from a distance but respecting their space. He has not been off-leash with other dogs, but we believe he would do well with the right companions. Though Bacon Bits enjoys his playful moments, he’s also calm and content, especially when he’s with his people. He’s learned the joy of being a companion, one who enjoys your presence without always needing to be in the middle of the action. Bacon is content to relax by your side while you work or even curl up for a nap. He’s truly the perfect balance of playful and peaceful. This loving boy is looking for a home that appreciates his gentle, joyful nature. A family who’s willing to let him be part of everything they do and give him the love and care he deserves. Bacon Bits would do well in a home with other dogs or older children who can share in his zest for life. If you’re ready for a companion who will make every day brighter and show you just how wonderful life can be with a dog who’s lived it all, Bacon Bits is waiting for you. His heart is full, and he’s ready to share it with the right family. BB is an option for a novice or experienced home. If there are children they need to be over the age of 5.February 1, 2025, 7:52 am
