Story
Cricket is a year-old girl whose sparkling eyes and personality will quickly melt your heart.  A real sweetheart who can be a bit shy at first, she’s also an energetic, spunky pup who enjoys being outside and playing with other dogs.  Cricket is great with children, loves belly rubs, and is super affectionate.  Between playing and walks, she will lounge in her crate or on the couch. Her ears are adorable with one ear up and one down. Also that ear has a brown patch of color. Such a cutie! She has a great demeanor and is very adorable. Cricket is housetrained, weighs a tidy 30 pounds, knows how to sit and come, and is making progress on a leash.  She is both food and prey motivated, so she’ll get very excited if she spots a squirrel or deer. Cricket has lived with cats and pays not attention to them.  Training is easy with Cricket since she is a foodie and sits for treats. She would love to learn more tricks and especially the treats. She will be a perfect addition to a home either by herself or with another dog. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results or AKC registration were provided at intake. ***THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN THE DMV, BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE. Read below for more information. Our dogs are transported to a predetermined location agreed upon by the rescue. The adoption contract and fee are finalized prior to transport. As a Pep's Pals Rescue direct adoption, the adoption interview/meet and greet occurs on video call (Skype, FB Messenger call, Facetime, etc). Our adoption fee is $ plus health certificate and transport (varies by location). Transport & health certificate feee won’t be necessary if you are able to travel to the dog directly. This fee includes current basic vaccinations, deworming, microchip (additional $12.99 registration fee required at time of adoption), fecal analysis, spay/neuter for dogs 6 months & older, and a heartworm test if 6 months & older. If dog is under 6 months, then $100 of adoption fee is refunded when mandatory spay/neuter is proven to be completed at 6 months of age. All dogs are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. A health exam will be completed and a health certificate issued by a veterinarian within 10 days of transport.

However, I am not a fan of strangers in my home or on walks, and I can be protective of my people. I prefer slow introductions and I'll be fine once I get to know you.      My ideal home would be a rural one with a fenced yard. I am well behaved in the house and crate trained.  I’m eager to please and I like to learn. Honestly, I just want someone to love full time and I hope that person is you.  Apply today and come meet me ASAP!Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.
