Meet Deeno — the 9-week-old, 7.5-lb Doberman mix puppy who is tiny in size but BIG in personality! (The shelter believes he’s a Doberman mix, but we can also see some Doxi in him — as with all rescue pups, breed is just our best guess and cannot be guaranteed.)
This little guy was pulled from the shelter after being absolutely terrified. He had no idea why he ended up there — all he knew was that it was loud, cold, and confusing for such a baby. But the good news? Deeno is now safe, warm, and decompressing in a loving foster home where he’s finally learning that life isn’t so scary after all.
At first, Deeno is shy and timid… the “peek around the corner to see if the coast is clear” type. But give him a little time and suddenly—BAM—
you’ve unlocked Spunky, Playful, Curious Mode™
Once he trusts you, he becomes a goofy little ball of energy who wants to explore EVERYTHING. If something moves, he wants to know what it is. If something squeaks, he wants to see if it squeaks again. If you open a snack… well, he’s definitely interested in that too.
He did amazing on his car ride home, is learning crate training, and is already practicing with pee pads like the smart little pup he is. Deeno is funny, high-energy, and full of “let’s go on an adventure” vibes.
Deeno isn’t quite ready to go home just yet — he’s still gaining confidence and settling in — but we ARE accepting interest and early applications for his future forever family. Based on his current size, we estimate Deeno will be around 50 lbs full grown, but this is only an estimate and not a guarantee.
Deeno will be ready to go home around December 20th — making him the perfect early Christmas present to start the holidays with a new best friend by your side.
This sweet boy may start off shy, but once he trusts you, he LOVES hard and plays even harder. If you’re ready for a sweet, silly, heart-melting companion with a dash of chaos and a whole lot of love…Deeno is your guy.

Additional adoption info
We look to match the dogs personality, energy, and size to the potential adoptive family lifestyle and dynamics. A family looking for a calm snuggle buddy is not a good match for a working dog that needs to be walked several miles a day to be content and successful in the home.

APAC has bi-monthly in person adoption events at the Temple, Texas Petsmart, typically on the first and third Saturday of the month. There is no need to wait for an adoption event, with an approved application we will schedule private meet and greets at a time convenient for the foster home and the potential adopter.
