arling girl who is content to make herself comfy in your lap. She is a total snuggle-bug who is happiest when she can be all cozy on the couch with her foster family. Shy can be shy when meeting new people, but she has slowly come to learn that making new friends can be good. Cupcake is fully grown and weighs about 20lbs. Cupcake came to us from our local shelter after she was surrendered with a couple of other dogs when their owner was no longer able to care for them. The other two dogs got adopted quickly, but due to her more bashful personality and being overwhelmed in the shelter, Cupcake struggled to find a home. We were happy to welcome her into the rescue, and she has been doing great in a foster home and has shown us what an amazing little girl she is. Cupcake is the epitome of a sweetheart. She is affectionate, loyal, cuddly, and oh-so cute! She quickly made herself at home in her foster home and has been a great little houseguest. She is a moderate-to-low energy girl who loves taking walks around the neighborhood, but is also content to spend most of the day sunbathing and keeping her foster mom company while she works from home. She would be a wonderful companion for someone who wants an easy-going cuddle buddy. Cupcake can be nervous in new situations and needs a family who can be patient with her and help her feel safe. She needs a lot of reassurance and thrives on positive reinforcement. Cupcake has done well living with other small dogs, but has also been more than happy to be the only dog in her foster home. She could do well living with other easygoing dogs, or as an only dog. Cupcake has done well living with a dog-savvy cat after a slow introduction. Cupcake would do best in an adult-only home due to her shy personality. Cupcake has been doing very well with her housetraining, but may have a few accidents while she is acclimating to a new home and routine. Cupcake is not a big fan of being crated, but she has done well being left free roaming inside for short periods, free roaming. Cupcake prefers to only potty in a yard, so will need a home with a backyard. Cupcake is such a fabulous companion. If she sounds like the love you have been looking for, submit an application today! Cupcake's adoption fee is $300. Apply to adopt here! form.jotform/52017002013129/ Applications are also available on the website ( .yolospca ) It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption. For more information about an animal, please email dogsyolospca. For more general questions, please see our website at .yolospca.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
