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: $700 Roger is a 3 year old Yorkie mix who was surrendered to the shelter when his former owners went back to work full time in the office and decided they no longer had the time to take care of a dog. Roger is an absolute darling and won the hearts of all the volunteers at intake when he arrived, and has been lighting up his fosters' days ever since he arrived at their home! Roger has a lighter shedding coat, so he is an option for those who are looking for a lower-shedding option in the home. Below is a note from Rogers' foster. "Once we brought Roger home, gave him lots of pets, treats and baby talk -- he opened up to us quickly! He was super loving, gave kisses, allowed us to hold him, pet him and even bathe him on the same day! Roger now follows me from room to room and likes to be where I am. Sometimes he is very much a velcro dog where you peel him off of you because he just wants so much of your attention, but most other times he's just chilling on the couch, on the dog bed, or on the carpet nearby within sight. I have a small senior mix dog. They get along with each other very well. Roger is respectful of my dog's age. They occasionally play together for maybe 5-10 minutes 1x time a day and lounge around for the rest of the day. It's the sweetest when they sleep near each other or walk side by side for walks. Roger sleeps in his crate at night and wakes up between 6-7am for breakfast in his crate. After he finishes his food, we let him out into the yard for his potty break. He hangs out in his kennel until I return from work at around 3pm, where he is let out for another potty break. He hangs around the house with his foster brother until around 5pm where he'll then have dinner in his crate. Roger and his foster brother go for a walk around the block and then they hang out on the couch for the rest of the evening with us. When it's bedtime, Roger goes for a quick final pee break and then snoozes in his crate for the rest of the night. I suspect Roger can be very playful if in the right household. He has been great on walks and great when meeting other dogs and humans. I have seen him play with toys and do zoomies in the yard. As we have a senior dog and our household tends to be more low key, Roger follows our schedule. Few spurt moments of playing and then just hanging out on the couch or floor nearby. We love that Roger is SO adaptable. I sense that he can be such a playful and energetic dog, but he's able to just vibe with any situation he's in and we love that about him. We secretly think he mimics our dog, tries to be him so he too can be the bestest boy for his forever home." Roger is an option for just about any kind of home, as long as they are prepared to gain his trust and love. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8 and respectful of quieter dogs.
