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 the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, November 29th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance.

Adoption fee: $700

Meet Lambie – A Fluffy, Friendly, and Fully-Healed Lovebug!

Lambie is a 10 month old, 11 lb Maltipoo with a non-shedding coat — perfect for those with allergies or anyone who simply prefers a dog that won’t leave fur on the furniture. This sweet, playful pup is all healed up and ready to start his next chapter in a forever home that will adore him as much as he adores his people.

Lambie came to us in rough shape, with a skin issue and infection that needed some care — but we’ve done the work, and now he’s a healthy, happy, and thriving little guy. His coat is growing back beautifully, and so is his confidence.

His foster describes him as the perfect blend of playful and chill. He enjoys a quick game of fetch in the morning, followed by a cozy nap in his x-pen. He loves people, is gentle and affectionate, and will gladly follow you around the house like your own fluffy little shadow.

Though he was timid when he first arrived — uncertain about new surroundings and doorways — Lambie has come a long way. Now he struts home from walks like he owns the block, tail held high, curious and content. He’s good on leash and happy to coexist and even play with other dogs of his size. 

He’s fully crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is doing great with potty training — especially in his x-pen and crate. He’s a quick learner and eager to please.

Lambie’s favorite things? Greeting you like you’ve been gone for days. Playing ball. Snuggling in your lap. Just being close.

This little guy is the total package — loving, resilient, and ready for a home that will continue the love and care he’s already received.

If you’re looking for a sweet, non-shedding companion who’s already come through the hard part and is ready to give you his whole heart, Lambie is waiting.

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.
