Story
Just like her namesake, Cupcake is irresistibly sweet and impossible not to love! Cupcake is estimated to be about a year and a half old and is a darling girl who is quick to make herself comfy in your lap. She is a total snuggle-bug who is happiest when she can be all cozy on the couch with her foster family. While she can be a tad shy, she has blossomed in foster care and is eager to make new friends. Cupcake is fully grown and weighs about 20lbs. Cupcake came to us from our local shelter after she was surrendered with a couple of other dogs when their owner was no longer able to care for them. The other two dogs got adopted quickly, but due to her more bashful personality and being overwhelmed in the shelter, Cupcake struggled to find a home. We were happy to welcome her into the rescue, and she has been doing great in a foster home and has shown us what an amazing little girl she is. Cupcake is the epitome of a sweetheart. She is affectionate, loyal, cuddly, and oh-so cute! She quickly made herself at home in her foster home and has been a great little houseguest. She is a moderate-to-low energy girl who loves her walks around the arboretum, but also is content to spend most of the day sunbathing and keeping her foster mom company while she works from home. She would be a wonderful companion for someone who wants an easy-going cuddle buddy. Cupcake seems to have her basic manners training down. Cupcake previously lived with other small dogs and enjoyed making dog friends at the shelter, but has been more than happy to be the only dog in her foster home. She could do well living with other easygoing dogs, or as an only dog. We haven't seen Cupcake around cats, but she may do well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction. Cupcake could make a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years and older. Cupcake has been doing very well with her housetraining using a dog door, but may have a few accidents while she is acclimating to a new home and routine. She has been doing well being crated for short periods and overnight. Cupcake prefers to only potty in a yard, so will need a home with a backyard. Cupcake is such a fabulous companion. If she sounds like the love you have been looking for, submit an application today!   Cupcake's adoption fee is $300.   A pply to adopt here!  https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/   Applications are also available on the website (www.yolospca.org)  It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption. For more information about an animal, please email dogs@yolospca.org.
