All About Dumpling

  Dumpling joined the rescue after being released from the commercial dog breeding industry and she is a tiny little Diva. See how Dumpling only weighs 16 pounds? Very Cutesy! See how she loves to snuggle after playing like a wild woman? Very mindful.  Dumpling isn’t like the other dogs. She is shy, but sweet. Very Demure! 

Dumpling is settling into the pet life and learning to love snuggles, squeaky and chew toys too! Dumpling has bursts of playfulness followed by snuggle time. She likes other dogs and people but is a bit shy at first. If she is allowed to meet them at her pace, she does quite well!

Dumpling can be a growly little raccoon over her kennel and slow to eat because she is protective of her food. If she didn’t spend most of her time telling others in the area to back off, she’d be able to eat her meal in peace. Choices were made, Dumpling!

This tiny little gal is working on potty training, and if she is kept on a good schedule she does well. With time and consistency in her new home, she will be number one in the number two business! 

Dumpling would do best in a quieter home that will help her adjust and teach her how to be the tiny, spoiled princess she knows she is meant to be.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted.  Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above.  Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications.  All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes.  Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters.  Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.

All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages. 

We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
