DuPont is a 3yo Vizsla/Lab mix who made his way into rescue from somewhere in the south. His story is now a year in the making and this page is dedicated to making sure that Pont's next home is his forever home.
DuPont has a ton of fabulous qualities, but he's not for the weak minded or the faint of heart. If you are considering bringing DuPont into your life, I
encourage you to read this blog in it's entirety and make sure that you are prepared for a dog like him.

The photos you see here of DuPont being relaxed and happy and fun are the result of hard work and structure. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You do not have to run him 5K every day, but you do have to put him to work and ask things of him on a daily basis.
The result? A calm and happy household.

Fresh Start

DuPont is back.

Appx five months ago, Pont was adopted into what everybody had thought was his forever home.  They seemed perfect.  Within a week, the rescue was asked to come get him.  He was adopted again into a family and they hung in there for almost three months before deeming DuPont as unmanageable and 'stupid'.   (Can you hear the steam ringing from my ears from over there?)

I haven't seen Pont since January and I wasn't quite sure what to expect upon picking him up yesterday.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my fun, intelligent redhead was still in there.  It took him all of thirty minutes to establish his place within the pack (um, the very bottom) and make himself at home again. 

There are a couple of new things that have developed since he left and I am eager to tackle them and share them with you.  As always, I'll record and report it here as we move forward.  This is DuPont's fresh beginning and with a new start comes new rules, new training and of course, a new blog design! 

I missed your mugg, Red.  Welcome back.
