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.

The Melon Puppies

 

Adoption Fee: $800

 

Cantaloupe, Watermelon & Honeydew

 

8 Weeks Old • Sweet, Playful, and Ready for Their Forever Families

 

This adorable little trio is officially ready for their forever homes! The Melon Puppies have been thriving in their foster home— mastering their daily routine and delighting everyone with their snuggles, zoomies, and adorable little antics.

 

Their days are full of joyful chaos: they wake up with the foster family at 8 AM for pen cleaning and morning playtime. Meals are served at about 8:30 AM, 1 PM, and 6 PM, and the rest of the day is spent alternating between wrestling matches and cuddle puddles, tug-of-war tournaments, and romping around the family room. Each night the pups settle down for bedtime in their pen with relaxing background music and a little snack around 10 PM.

 

Cantaloupe: The Tiny Tangy Firecracker

 

The smallest of the bunch but absolutely bursting with personality, Cantaloupe is white with stunning blue eyes and an endlessly entertaining presence. He may be a petite little nugget, but he launches himself into playtime with the confidence and gusto of a pup twice his size.

 

This boy makes the cutest little gremlin growls when he's roughhousing with his brothers— tiny tough-guy noises coming from a soft marshmallow of a pup. He’s brave, bold, and a joy to watch.

 

Watermelon: The Sweet, Soulful “Moo”

 

Watermelon is white with black spots and looks like the world’s smallest, cutest baby cow— so naturally his foster family nicknamed him 'Moo'. He is the mellowest of the melon puppies. He isn't afraid to join in rough and tumble play, but also has a quiet, snuggly side. Sometimes he'll sit in his pen and look at you with his big soulful eyes that say: “Hello. I am available for cuddles now.”

 

He melts into the arms of anyone who picks him up and is the perfect companion for someone looking for a gentle love bug who’s equal parts playful and affectionate.

 

Honeydew: A Gentle, Joyful Pup

 

Tan, soft, and sweet in every sense. Honeydew is the simplest of souls in the very best way. He's easygoing, playful, happy to be held, and thrilled to be part of any puppy pile.

 

He loves toys, loves people, loves naps, and loves life. There’s no drama here— just pure honey-sweet puppy energy. If you're looking for a warm, soft, kind little pup to brighten your days, Honeydew is your melon.

 

Ready to Meet Your New Best Friend?

 

These pups are sweet, silly, affectionate, well-socialized, and thriving in their routine. They love kids, adore other dogs, get along with cats, and are happily building healthy puppy habits every day.

 

Whether you want bold, mellow, or sweet, the Melon Puppies each offer their own goodness. Any of them would be a wonderful addition to a family ready to love, guide, and grow with them.

 

Let your heart pick the perfect melon— your new best friend is waiting.

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.
