My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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

 

Pickles is a 1 year old Poodle x Corgi mix who is dill-igently looking for his forever pickle jar home! This 17 pound handsome dude came to us from the shelter and boy has he brightened up our lives since! Pickles has a fantastic body shape that only a mixed breed rescue dog could produce. Looking for a long and low body with a poodle coat? You’ve found your man! Pickles will require regular grooming and we will be looking for a home who is prepared for coat maintenance. Pickles can’t wait to crunch into life with you! 

 

Pickles is a handsome, friendly, fun-loving dude who can’t wait to find his next adventure! Pickles adores his toys almost as much as he loves tanning in the backyard, and really what more could you want in a pup! He loves his people and wants to follow you to the ends of the earth. Pickles leans towards the lazier side of life but still can get his zoomies on every so often! He has short stubby legs that provide endless amusement as he hops around the yard and house. He’s a character without even trying. He’s the kind of guy who is excited for a long walk, but equally as excited for the long nap he will get afterwards. Pickles is the kind of companion that you will be so excited to come home to at the end of the day or cuddle throughout the day if you work from home. This lovable hunk of dog is just the best (and his handsome face sure doesn’t hurt). 

Pickles starts his morning at 6:30 AM with a trip to the backyard for a potty and zoomies session. He then comes back inside for a long nap (it’s hard being a dog) before he enjoys breakfast. After some playtime outside, he gets a 60 minute walk around the neighborhood where he greets his doggy friends and sniffs all the good smells. In the afternoon, he spends time playing with the resident dog, his pile of toys, and anything else he discovers. Pickles also loves sunbathing in the backyard and can get his tan on for hours at a time, as long as you remind him to flip over! In the afternoon, he gets another shorter walk before he has dinner at 6:30 PM. In the evening, Pickles plays with his toys before hopping up on the couch for some snuggles. After one last potty trip. he heads to bed in his crate around 10 where he dreams of dancing treats! 

Pickles gets along very well with dogs of all ages and sizes and would thrive as either a solo dog or as a companion to a resident pup. Pickles walks very well on a leash and loves checking out the neighborhood sights and smells. Pickles can’t wait to hop his way through life with his lucky forever home! 

 

Pickles could be an option for homes without prior dog experience, as long as they provide a plan for continued training and grooming. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.

We carefully screen potential adoptors through an application and interview process. We are a community-based group and invite you to check out our website at www.dpsrescue.com or our very active Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/DPSRescue and keep in touch with real-time adoptions at www.twitter.com/dpsrescue

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
