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: $1000 Nutcracker is a 3 month old Shih Tzu mix who was surrendered to our rescue when his home realized that a puppy for Christmas when the family wasn't ready for a new dog was perhaps not the best idea! He came to us with his sister, Sugar Plum Fairy! This handsome and hilarious dude deserves a home ready to give him the love and attention he deserves, and we promised him that we would find him just that! He may not be a ballerina, but he goes to bed each night with dreams of his forever home! Nutcracker has a coat that will require grooming but is not a true non-shedding dog. He would be an option for those with lighter allergies, or who want less hair around the house. We will be placing the puppies in separate homes as we do not place puppies together. Nutcracker is a total ham and makes his foster home laugh every minute of the day with his goofy antics. Nutcracker is the true puppy who is still learning how to use all those limbs he was born with, so he frequently tumbles into his sister while they are playing and gets up shaking his head like 'Hello! You crashed into me!' when he was the bowling pin! Nutcracker is one of the cutest pups we have had in the rescue in awhile and boy does he know it! He constantly has a smile on his face and a wag in his tail, and he wins just about everyone he meets over within minutes. Nutcracker is goofy, cuddly, loving, friendly, and a million more positive adjectives. He is just the best dog, whether you are looking for an adventure companion or a dog to snuggle on the couch and watch movies with! Nutcracker wakes up at 7 AM and heads outside to go potty before coming inside for breakfast. He spends his days playing with the resident foster dogs, cuddling up for naps, racing around the yard showing off her skills at collecting leaves, and then napping some more! He gets as many chances as possible to go potty outside during the day. He has lunch at noon and dinner around 6 PM. In the evening, it is more playing inside mixed with some treat-based training! He goes to bed cuddled with his sister in their crate and has slept mostly through the night since arriving at his foster home. Nutcracker has been fabulous with every dog she has met. He is being fostered with his sister as well as an adult lab who is over 70 pounds! He loves them all! He also loves meeting new people and gives out kisses and snuggles even to those he has just met! He is truly such a happy dude with a zest for life! Nutcracker also got along with the resident cat in his foster home and was very respectful of the kitty when she requested space. This holiday season, the local performance of the Nutcracker won't be the only showstopper. You can have a Nutcracker of your very own by bringing Nutcracker home today, just in time for the holidays! Nutcracker is only an option for those who have owned a dog in the past 5 years. We will only consider homes who have owned their own dog. Homes should be prepared to discuss their grooming plan. Kids in the home should be over the age of 6. December 7, 2023, 7:56 pm
