Turnip

Turnip is the perfect blend of classic puppy energy and impressive self-control. He enjoys playtime but is wonderfully intuitive about when it's time to rest-often kenneling himself or curling up on a soft pillow (or a willing human) when he's tired.This smart pup does great with an open-feeding setup and happily shares a food bowl with resident dogs without issue. He grazes when he's hungry and shows excellent manners around mealtime, never begging and instead lounging politely nearby. He's food-motivated and loves treats (especially carrots!), though cucumbers are a definite pass.Turnip is crate-trained at night and has had zero accidents in his kennel. With a consistent routine, he does a "last call" potty around 11 p.m. and comfortably holds it until morning. When he wakes up, he entertains himself with squeaky toys or happily gnaws on his favorite chews.He's a quiet, easy presence in the home-so much so you might forget he's there until you hear the happy squeak of a toy. Turnip self-entertains beautifully, respects when other dogs are done playing, and is wonderfully gentle and respectful with cats. He's already learned household routines, navigates stairs with ease, and has picked up commands like "outside," "leave it," and "last call" in just a few days.Affectionate, smart, calm, and well-mannered, Turnip is a truly special puppy who will seamlessly fit into his future home-and make it feel complete.This pup was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.

Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
