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 Elmer, a 2 year old ginger boy with a zest for life that's contagious. His sweet and friendly demeanor makes him a standout in the crowd. Elmer is not only smart but also incredibly playful and loyal, always ready to join in a game or snuggle up for some affection.

He's the perfect companion for anyone looking for a clever and devoted friend. Elmer's charming personality and intelligent antics are sure to bring joy and laughter to his new person's life. He would love to have stimulating interactive toys and a tall cat tree to climb in his new home. He is the type of kitty that could be your one and only, or he could join a home with another welcoming and friendly resident cat or dog. We think he would do fine with gentle older children.

We hope someone will see his post and want to swoop up this handsome guy. He is sure to bring a lot of love to your life. Please consider giving Elmer the loving family he deserves.

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.
