All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped.
* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.
This dog will be at a meet and greet event on Saturday, April 6th at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express from 12-3pm, unless he/she is set up and adopted prior to the event. Those interested in meeting the dog can come out to our meet and greet event. We no longer do application approval onsite. Anyone adopting has been previously approved and set up to meet prior to the event.
Adoption Fee: $500
Toby is a 3 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix who came to DPS after his former home was no longer able to give him the attention and love he deserved. We accepted him with open arms and full hearts and showed this boy the best start to his second chance. He has spent some time decompressing in his foster home and is now ready to find a forever home of his very own!
Below is a note from Toby’s foster.
“Toby is a textbook JRT and lovers of the breed won’t get better than this boy! He takes a bit of time to settle into his environment, but once he does, he is yours forever. Toby loves his foster mom and follows her around the house. He loves his daily walks and looks forward to them eagerly every day. Toby is so sweet and snuggly as well though. He loves to cuddle on the couch as we watch TV! The cutest thing about Toby? How he curls up under the covers at night. Toby is a sweet and happy dog who also loves to romp around and play with the best of them.
Toby is fabulous at fetch (okay he is fabulous 80% of the time but we promised not to tell). Toby is also very smart and loves his brain toys, rooting around for a snack!
Toby wakes up at 7 AM and heads out for a quick potty break. He has breakfast and then settles in for a morning nap as we start our day. He spends his early afternoon exploring the backyard and gets another short walk. He has dinner at 6 PM and then gets a longer walk. At night, he hangs out with us while we watch TV before getting ready for bed. Toby sleeps through the night!
Toby is fully house trained. He is fine in his crate but also happily snuggles into his dog beds placed around the house
Toby adores playing with other dogs and would love a playmate in his new home, or a local community of dogs. He is very much a teenager in the sense that he loves to romp until he is ready for rest. Truly, what more could you ask for?
Toby is only an option for those who have owned a dog previously. We will be looking for a home who is ready to handle the love of the terrier breed. Children should be over the age of 10.
