Skip the Dr. Pepper and cook it on high. Between the onions and the pork, it should be fine on moisture since crock pots don't leak much.

If you cook it at a higher heat, it will be done faster and the meat will stay slightly tough allowing you to slice it, rather than it breaking down into shreds in the long cook.

Check your crock pot manufacturer's manual for the cooking times since they vary widely between brands and models.
