My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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

Meet Lego, a spunky little guy with a big personality who is 2 years old and weighs 15lbs. He has a daily routine that’s as structured as a carefully built masterpiece! This energetic pup kicks off his day with a refreshing morning walk around 8:30 AM, followed by breakfast at 9 AM—because even the most playful pups need fuel! While his humans work from home, Lego stays busy with his chew sticks, treat-filled Kong, or a well-deserved nap (being adorable is hard work, after all). Evenings are reserved for another walk, followed by dinner and some serious relaxation time in his cozy bed while his humans unwind.

 

Lego is a confident, food-motivated little dude who thrives on routine and structure. He’s still learning that not every dog wants to play at his high-energy pace, but he’s working on being a gentler friend. He’s crate-trained, mostly housetrained, and knows all the important tricks—sit, paw, down, and “leave it” (especially when treats are involved!). While he’s still getting the hang of leash manners, his enthusiasm for squirrels and other exciting sights might lead to some occasional pulling. He’s got a playful spirit and would love an active home that understands his zest for life.

 

Lego is looking for an experienced, confident home that can help him continue to build his trust and navigate his handling sensitivities. He tends to bond more closely with the male in the home and prefers his personal space over cuddles, but he’s got plenty of love to give in his own independent way. With patience, structure, and a good stash of treats, Lego will thrive in a home that appreciates his quirks and celebrates his wins. Are you ready to be the final piece in Lego’s forever home puzzle?

 

Lego is only an option for a home that has had dogs and demonstrate a vast knowledge of dog behavior on the application. If children they need to be teenagers and grown up with dogs.

Additional adoption info

Doggie Protective Services is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. Our rescued dogs and cats live in foster homes until we can find them appropriate, responsible, loving homes. We carefully screen potential adoptors through an application and interview process. We are a community-based group and invite you to check out our website at www.dpsrescue.com or our very active Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/DPSRescue and keep in touch with real-time adoptions at www.twitter.com/dpsrescue

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
