Story
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: $750 Meet Vintage – A Sweet, Smart, and Snuggly Companion Vintage is a petite 10–12 month old Border Terrier (and maybe Shih Tzu?) mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality, weighing in at just 11 pounds. She’s the perfect blend of playful and peaceful — curious about the world, yet always ready to settle in for a cozy cuddle. Her daily routine: Vintage wakes up between 7 and 8am, enjoys a small breakfast, and heads outside to explore the yard and soak up some sun. She loves carrying her toys outside and sniffing around, then retreats to her favorite napping spot — a soft bed perched at the top of the stairs. Throughout the day, she snacks on her kibble, enjoys a midday cheese treat, and in the evening, she happily cuddles up beside you on the couch before heading to bed. When Vintage first arrived, she was a tad bit shy, but once she settled in, her cheerful personality started to shine. She now greets every guest with a wagging tail and open heart — truly, no one is a stranger to her. She's a sweet and gentle companion who enjoys being nearby, but she’s not overly clingy. She doesn’t follow from room to room, but she does love to join you for quality cuddle time. Vintage is learning quickly and gaining confidence. She’s nearly fully housetrained — she’ll go outside when the door is open or use a potty pad if needed. She’s getting the hang of going during walks too. At first, leashes were a bit intimidating for her, but with a little encouragement, she now enjoys her walks and loves exploring. Sometimes she even wants to stay out longer! She’s not a barker — in fact, she’s incredibly quiet and calm, and more likely to let out a soft whine if she needs something. She’s crate-tolerant (though not her favorite), doesn’t dig or chew, and gets along well with other dogs. What makes Vintage special? She does an adorable army crawl during playtime and rests her little head right at your feet She gently climbs up onto the couch instead of jumping, like the daintiest little mountaineer She has a peaceful, happy spirit — always wagging her tail, always ready to love She’s playful without being overly energetic, and cuddly without being clingy Ideal home: Vintage would thrive in a loving home where her people will continue her training and give her plenty of affection. She’s a smart girl who’s eager to please and would love a secure space where she can relax, explore, and feel safe. Most of all, she’s looking for someone to adore — and she has so much love to give in return. If you’re looking for a gentle, funny, and affectionate pup to share your life with, Vintage is ready to meet you and melt your heart.May 11, 2025, 8:10 pm
