Story
* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.Adoption fee: $650 Meet the End Puppies: The Cutest Little Bunch of Butts Around The End Puppies are a litter of 9–10 week old Beagle/JRT mixes (with probably a few other breeds thrown in there for good measure) who are ready to put their shelter days behind them and wiggle their way into forever homes. They are currently in the 5-6 lb range and we expect they'll be in the 20 lb range when full grown. They each have their own distinct personality, but they all share the most important puppy qualities: they are playful, curious, affectionate, and exceptionally talented at being adorable. Life at the Tail End The puppies begin their day around 7 AM— unless they hear someone moving earlier and decide breakfast should be rescheduled immediately. When their food arrives, they enthusiastically gather around the puppy feeder, gobbling up their meal while somehow walking in circles around the bowl at the same time. After breakfast, their schedule consists of wrestling, exploring, playing with toys, and collapsing into puppy piles for a nap. They wake up for lunch around noon, repeat the play-and-nap cycle throughout the afternoon, and have dinner at 5 PM. Evenings are filled with spirited games of tug, sibling wrestling matches, and general puppy mischief until everyone crashes again. Their final meal is served around 9 PM, and they settle down for the night at approximately 10 PM. Tush: The Great Acrobat Tush, who wears the purple collar, may be small, but she is mighty. This active, adventurous girl is constantly searching for her next challenge—and she is currently the only puppy strong and determined enough to scale the short pen. Tush has a flair for the dramatic and knows exactly how to make sure no one overlooks her. Bold, entertaining, and full of personality, Tush would thrive with an engaged family ready to channel her cleverness into training, games, and plenty of adventures. Tiny Hiney: Small Puppy, Big Plans Tiny Hiney wears the pink collar and is the most petite puppy in the group. What she lacks in size, she more than makes up for in confidence, curiosity, and determination. Her tiny frame allows her to squeeze through spaces her siblings cannot, making her an especially talented explorer. This outgoing little girl loves investigating her pen and testing everything with her mouth. She is a bright puppy who catches on quickly. Smart, active, and endlessly curious, Tiny Hiney is looking for a family that will keep her mind busy and appreciate all the fun that comes in her very small package. Caboose: Bringing Up the Rear in Style Caboose, in the green collar, is the largest puppy of the bunch and an exceptionally sweet boy. His preferred position is sitting upright like a tiny person and quietly observing everything happening around him. He appears to have important thoughts about the world, although he has not yet chosen to share them. Caboose loves being held and can rarely resist falling asleep during a good chest or belly rub. He is remarkably mellow for such a young puppy, but he still enjoys wrestling and playing chase with his siblings when the mood strikes. With his gentle nature and affectionate personality, Caboose offers a lovely combination of playful puppy and professional cuddler. Booty: The Toy Collector Booty wears the yellow collar and is an easygoing puppy with a serious appreciation for toys. Give him something interesting to play with, and he can entertain himself for ages. He has also perfected the subtle art of reclaiming toys from his siblings without them realizing what happened. Booty was the first puppy in the litter to experiment with fetching a ball, giving his foster family an early glimpse of the clever, playful companion he may become. When playtime is over, he is happy to sit quietly for a chest or belly rub. Booty’s independent streak, gentle demeanor, and love of games make him an especially charming little guy. Time for a Happy Ending Whether you are drawn to Tush’s adventurous spirit, Tiny Hiney’s clever determination, Caboose’s tender heart, or Booty’s easygoing charm, these puppies are ready to begin the next chapter of their lives. The End Puppies may have names inspired by their backsides, but for each of them, adoption will be the beginning of something wonderful. August 25, 2026, 2:17 pm
