If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered. Adoption Fee: $600 Gingerbread is an option for foster to adopt Gingerbread is a 4 year old Rat Terrier x Italian Greyhound mix who’s serving up sweetness regardless of the season! Gingerbread was rescued from the shelter during the holiday season and we instantly knew he needed an invite to the DPS cookie exchange so we scooped him up on our sleigh and sped off into the sunset! He helped make our season bright and now he’s ready to head off to his forever home and keep the good times going! Gingerbread weighs 16 pounds and has amazing Dumbo ears that make him catch all the eyes as he walks down the block. Come enjoy a tasty treat and adopt Gingerbread! Gingerbread is a caterpillar who is ready to find his home that will help him blossom into a butterfly. As he has grown more confident in his foster home, his personality has started to develop, showing us what an amazing dude he is. Gingerbread is more of a cat than a dog, as he finds warm spots to lounge the day away in as he chases the sunshine. Gingerbread is fairly independent but he did befriend the dad in the house and loves his cuddles. He would be an ideal fit for a home looking for quiet and loving companionship. Gingerbread is very treat motivated and eager to please so he has delighted in learning new things. While he is small, he can tackle any adventure you throw his way and has been exploring all the local hiking trails with his foster humans! However, at the end of the day our boy is a total couch potato who would love cuddling up and watching TV! This special boy will be the perfect companion for his human who finds him, we know it! Gingerbread wakes up around 6:30 AM and immediately requests cuddles from his foster humans. He goes out for potty before he has his breakfast. Following his morning meal, he lounges outside in the sunshine or on the couch. He goes on a morning walk around 10 AM and then cozies up under his blankets. He’s fairly content to snooze most of the day away until his afternoon walk followed by dinner around 6:30 PM. He hangs out on the couch or on his bed in the evening. After one last potty break around 10 PM he heads to his crate for the night. Gingerbread currently lives with two medium sized dogs and they coexist well. He is not super playful but they enjoy spending time together. Gingerbread walks well on a leash and enjoys his outings. His dream home is one willing to give him the patience and space he needs to blossom. He is still learning how to “dog” and will need a home who is understanding of his quirks. Gingerbread promises that if you give him a chance he will provide you a lifetime of delicious love! Gingerbread is only an option for homes with shy dog experience. He is an option for homes with teens or an adults-only home. January 29, 2025, 4:26 pm

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ginny is super sweet and playful, especially with other dogs. She's a little skittish at first and takes a little while to warm up, but once she's comfortable with you, she is sweet, a champion snuggler, and an all-around great companion. Energy Level? Medium House trained? Yes Describe how they are on a leash. Does well on a leash. Likes to stop and smell all the smells. Describe how they are with other dogs? Ginny plays nice with other dogs and has lived with other dogs; however, she would do well as your one and only. She loves all the attention. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Ginny has been in home with a dog-savvy cat and did very well. Commands they know? She comes when called. What are their favorite things? Playing with other dogs, chewing on toys and treats, and snuggling with her people. She also enjoys being outside and exploring our backyard. What do they need to work on? Ginny is still learning what's okay and not okay to chew. She'll need lots of toys that are safe for chewing and some patience and understanding while she figures it out. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? She has been alone for up to 8 hours and has been okay. She may howl briefly as we leave but then quiets down. She is generally happy in her crate and has a good view of all her foster fur siblings. Where do they sleep? In a small crate in our bedroom. She sleeps well through the night and enjoys a morning snuggle in our bed when there's time. What is their ideal home? Ginny 's perfect home includes at least one other similarly-sized dog because doggy playtime is her favorite thing. She'll need a family who can give her some time and space to get comfortable, as she can be pretty skittish initially. She'll also need patience as she learns what's okay to chew and what's not. Once she's comfortable with you and all settled in, she is an excellent companion and will reward you with epic snuggles and much love. Ginny should be in an adult only home.

Story

Don't we all wish we were a little bit taller? Nope. Not Shorty. He is perfectly happy at the height he is. Low to the ground where he can sniff out any fallen snacks. Tall enough to jump on the bed and take a snooze with you. Some people assume he's a Dalmatian, but he is all Terrier! He may be a bit shy at first, but give him a day to decompress and you will be showered with love and appreciation. It's starting to look a lot like Christmas, and what's Christmas without a place to call home. Give Shorty the holiday of his dreams. Adopt this spectacular boy today! Here's some notes from his foster: This long little short guy is clever and spunky! Shorty seems to be very well house trained. He loves his food and snacks. He is however a little bit timid at times and could use some patient reassurance to his confidence. He loves his walks and checking out the scene and sniffing out the local spots. He was a little hesitant up a flight of steep stairs at first, but quickly learned that walks are imminent or that, coming in, food and a cuddle on the couch is expected. He likes to keep people in sight, learning what goes on and what might come next. At the end of the day Shorty adores cuddling up close in bed when it's chilly.
