My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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: $600

 

Coco is a 4 month old Miniature Pinscher x Chihuahua mix who will go coco-nuts with love for her new family! This little girl was surrendered to our rescue after her former home was no longer able to care for her. Well, we knew this designer dog deserved the best home full of treats and a closet of outfits, and that’s what we promised her! Now that Coco is ready for adoption, she can’t wait to channel her adorable energy into a forever home! Coco will remain under 12 pounds when fully grown, making her the perfect addition to any household! 

 

Coco is a lovergirl! Coco adores her people and is happy to sit by your feet or next to you on the couch. As long as you are there, so is Coco! Coco loves snuggling and she loves a belly rub. Coco loves playing with her toys, especially when she can rope someone else into playing with her! She has a sassy little personality and will steal socks before sprinting away with her prize as her tail wags. Coco has no idea she isn’t as big as her foster siblings and she strives to keep up with the best of them! Like any good puppy, Coco is playful and energetic when she is awake, and fully zonked out when she’s ready for a rest. Coco is very easy-going and happy to do whatever! If everyone is busy, she can keep herself busy with the toy bin, taking all her toys out and spreading them around. If you’re ready for adventure, she’s grabbing the leash and waiting by the door! 

Coco wakes up around 7 AM and immediately goes out to potty. She gets some playtime before breakfast and then eats at around 9 AM. During the day, Coco alternates between napping on her bed, playing with her foster brothers, getting pets from her foster parents, and zooming around the yard. Coco has free access to the backyard and has been making improvements on her potty training. Coco eats lunch at 1 PM and then works on some training skills. Dinner is at 6 PM followed by another play session in the backyard. In the evening, Coco gets her cuddles on the couch as she squeaks her toys. She goes to her pen for the night after one last potty break at 9 PM. 

Coco gets along very well with the resident dogs in her foster home. She would be a great addition to a home with a dog or as a solo pup. Coco gets along with everyone she meets and would love a home where she can spend her days with her people or canine siblings. She is very food motivated so training with Coco will be a fun time. She promises to be the best companion ever. Don’t let someone else scoop up this designer gal, she promises to fill your life with love and joy! 

 

Coco is an option for those who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
