Tiny body… BIG dinosaur energy. I’m Pipsqueek — a 10–12 week old baby boy, about 10 pounds right now, and growing fast! I’m expected to be a medium-sized dog when I’m all grown up, but at the moment I’m basically a Puppy T-Rex: small, loud, curious, and convinced I’m in charge of the whole world. I was found dumped outside an apartment, which was pretty scary for a little guy like me. Luckily, I’m safe now — and I’m ready to trade survival mode for the good life: snacks, naps, toys, and a human who loves me forever. Because I’m still a baby, I’m learning everything from scratch. I’m working on house training, crate training, and leash training, and I’m going to need a patient, active adopter who understands that puppies aren’t born knowing the rules. I’m smart, eager, and full of potential — but I need someone who actually wants to put in the time to train me into the amazing companion I’m meant to be. Fair warning: I can be a little loud right now. I’m still learning how to settle, and I have opinions I like to share! That means I may be a bit much for apartment living at the moment… but with proper socialization, training, and consistency, that could definitely improve as I grow up. If you’re looking for a fun, energetic little best friend and you’re ready for the full puppy experience — zoomies, learning, cuddles, and tiny T-Rex moments — I might be your perfect match. **As a reminder, puppies will need lots of time and attention during the first year. Before adopting me, please make sure that you have enough time, energy and commitment to devote to my training. Puppies need a lot of care, so everyone in your household should be on board and ready to help out** My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip! If you're interested in meeting/adopting me, please visit www.rescueonespringfield.com/our-adoption-process/adoption-application/ and fill out the form! We do adopt out of state with vet references and video home check. *Adopter is responsible for coming to get the dog and returning the dog if the adoption does not work out* **Rescue One is unable to provide an exact prediction of how big or small your rescue puppy will become when full grown.

Because of this, Rescue One does not adopt to outdoor-only homes. Pets are family and are not disposable. Please make sure that you are 100% committed to a pet before considering adding one to your home. We are a foster-based organization, and we need more fosters to help us save more animals!
