Haaaave you met Dorito?

This 2-year-old ball of fun is a big dog in a little dog body. Don't let his size fool you. He may only be 11lb, but this dude is full of enthusiasm. He can play all day if you'd let him. But don't worry, he's also an expert cuddler and is happy to snuggle on up with you for movie night. Dorito can be cautious when meeting new people, but he has been making great progress making new friends and once you become his friend he will cover your face with kisses.

Dorito came to us from a local shelter where he made some wonderful friends with the staff who helped Dorito come out from his shell and become the happy boy we love today. He has been doing great in his foster home and his favorite activities include racing around the backyard and going to Dutch Bros for pup-pacinos. He loves to learn and would be a great training partner for someone who likes to teach dogs tricks. He'll do anything for a tasty treat. We also just learned he has quite the singing voice and will howl along with you. Who can resist an adorable little singing partner?

Dorito has been doing great with his housetraining and is such a good boy sleeping in his crate, although he does love to sleep in bed with you if you let him. He does well in the car, you just have to make sure he's secure and can't try and cover your face in kisses while you're driving. 

Dorito has done well with a variety of dogs and could do well with a dog sibling (or siblings) in his new home. He thinks cats are a little too interesting, so he would do best in a kitty-free home. Due to his caution towards new people, he would do best with older kids or in an adult-only home.

Dorito has truly won us over with his charismatic personality and we know you will love him too! Are you the fur-ever family he has been waiting for?

 

Please submit an application so we can help you with a good dog match. Thanks for considering giving a rescue dog a second chance at happiness in a loving home. If a dog is still posted on our website – the dog is still available for adoption. Yolo SPCA is based in Davis, California (near Sacramento). All our dogs are in foster homes (an advantage to adopters because we know the dogs). We do not have a shelter to visit.

Because of coronavirus health advisories, our adoption events on Saturdays at Petco are on hold. But, if you submit an application we will arrange for you to meet dogs you are interested in that would be a good match. Our goal is to make the best match possible for the dog and for the human/s. Having our dogs live in foster homes gives us the opportunity to learn about each dog's personality and behavior. We give you as much information as we have about each dog based on our observations or information we’ve received. We rarely know with certainty the breed or age of our rescue dogs. If you are interested in any of our dogs, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/. Use just one application for any/all of our dogs you are interested in, or instead of the name of one dog, put multiple names or “not sure” on the application. Information on your application helps us know your situation so we can work with you to make a great dog-human match. Our dogs are not adopted on a first-come-first-served basis. We are trying to make the best match possible. Yolo SPCA dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, current on vaccinations, and are being treated with heartworm prevention and flea prevention. Our adoption fees are $200 for each adult dog, $250 for each puppy aged 6 months to 1 year old, and $300 for each puppy under 6 months of age. 

If you have questions, please e-mail (dogs@yolospca.org), and we will do our best to answer your email within 24 to 48 business hours. Donating to Yolo SPCA, or shopping at our SPCA Thrift Store supports our rescue efforts (https://www.yolospca.org/thrift-store.html). Yolo County SPCA is always looking for foster homes (https://form.jotform.com/62177376663162) and donations (https://www.yolospca.org/donate.html/). Thank you
