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.



Meet Darcy, a charming 7 year old guy with a heart as big as his personality. Darcy's sweet nature is immediately apparent; he's the type of cat who will greet you with a friendly meow and a purr. His loyalty knows no bounds, and he's always there to offer comfort and companionship.

If you are looking for a tall, dark, and handsome guy that wakes you up at 3am for attention, Mr. Darcy will consider your adoption proposal. His nonchalance quickly evaporates around mealtimes, and he will gladly cuddle with a warm blanket and a good book. Mr. Darcy requires a large space for brooding and a single-pet household because he would love to be the center of all your attention.

He's a vocal kitty, communicating his thoughts and feelings openly. His delightful personality makes him a joy to be around. He is not super playful but will bat the occasional toy mice around when the mood strikes him. He loves to get daily pets from his humans and enjoys snuggling up at night with them in bed. Black cats are often overlooked at the shelter, but they have proven to have the absolute best personalities, and Darcy certainly does. He is a fabulous boy. Adopt Mr. Darcy and gain a friend for life.

He has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.

Additional adoption info

Doggie Protective Services is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. Our rescued dogs and cats live in foster homes until we can find them appropriate, responsible, loving homes. We carefully screen potential adoptors through an application and interview process. We are a community-based group and invite you to check out our website at www.dpsrescue.com or our very active Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/DPSRescue and keep in touch with real-time adoptions at www.twitter.com/dpsrescue

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.
