Story
*** Courtesy Posting *** Bergy joined us from the Jurupa Valley Animal Shelter in early March 2024. She caught our eye because she was incredibly underweight and seemed lonely. We pulled her after learning her time in the shelter was limited. This beautiful, sweet little girl is microchipped, fully vaccinated and will be spayed prior to adoption. She is now at a healthy weight of 28 pounds. Bergy is estimated to be approximately 2 years old and guessed to be a terrier mixed breed, perhaps Boston Terrier. She bonded quickly with the four dogs in her foster home, as well as 10-year twin children. She especially likes playing chase around in the yard with another dog and plays tug of war with ropes and other stuffed dog toys. Bergy does well being in her crate when left alone in the house and sleeps quietly in her crate in a separate room during the night. Bergy is accustomed to being inside and is housebroken (of course she will need to learn the rules at your house.) Bergy enjoys walks and sniffs along the way, Bergy would benefit from leash training to learn not to pull, as well as enforce basic commands such as heel, sit, down, stay, etc... Being a terrier, she is also highly prey driven and loves to chase animals such as lizards and birds. It is unknown how she will react to cats. Bergy’s goals in life are to be cuddled, loved and play. Every morning when her foster mom takes her out of her crate for breakfast Bergy throws both paws on her mom’s shoulders and kisses face. She is a sweet dog and will be a loving devoted companion to a lucky family. Bergy is an alpha female and needs to be in a home with a dog that will be submissive to her or as an only dog. While she seems to be fine sharing toys and treats, she is protective of her food and should eat in her own area if there is another dog around. Bergy Is being fostered in Temecula California. Her foster parents are willing to travel to the Bay Area for potential adopters to meet Bergy. If you think your home is a good match for Bergy, please email Sue at dogs@s2springer.com and describe a bit about the home you would provide for her.

Story
WEIGHT: ~17LBS.Here's Lana! Has her sights set on a forever home, just hasn't quite focused in on THE ONE. She has been living in a foster home. Here is what her foster has to say about her:"She is the sweetest little doggy, full of life and energy and curiosity. She seems overall very well behaved, eager to please and easily accepted a routine. She is a little insecure, but I think in the right "forever home" she would be a wonderful addition.As for behavior with strangers and other dogs, she seems fine. I walk her at least twice a day and she has never barked at any dog; she has approached neighbors and friends calmly, with normal tail position. The only thing she did once, when my brother appeared at the back door was that jumping up and down like a jumping bean and barking. I made her sit and calm down, and then my brother came in the house. After that she never did that again when he came in the back door."Because she's in foster, she's not able to be viewed during Browsing Hours. So, let us know you'd like to learn more by filling out and Adopter's Profile!

Story
      We are excited to introduce you to the ever so handsome Blue Jay Bird! Blue Jay known in his foster home as BJ, is a boston terrier puppy born approximately on 12/17/2023 who is paralyzed in his rear legs since birth.     He is a ham . He is Mr. personality and loves to be around other animals and humans.   He is not incontinent. but has to wear diapers so he doesn't dribble peepee on his legs as he moves due to the pressure on his stomach. But most importantly he wears them to keep his tush safe from friction burns and wounds . He came to us with wounds on his bum, tail, back of his legs and feet. The back of his legs and tush were completely bald due to constant friction. His hair is now growing in as his wounds have healed due to wearing diapers to protect his skin. He needs to be on carpeted surfaces to help his ability to maneuver around in his own way.   He takes baths daily and loves them . he gets his bath a bit before bedtime where he sleeps without a diaper (we call this his naked time). He sleeps great through the night in his x pen where he has a soft bed, toys, a rug underneath, and his water. He does great in a sling where he can be carried around and he will watch the world and enjoys being in the conversation.   He gets the post dinner crazies and wants to play play play. At times he thinks he is in WWE and the star of Monday night raw and it is his responsibility to defeat the Undertaker .   He loves toys and fun things to chew on line bully sticks and bento balls. He has not had all of his puppy shots yet but has been neutered. He travels fine in the car with a bully stick to keep him entertained.   This guy is looking for a family (or person) who works from home, is retired, doesn't have to work, or can take him to work with them. If none of those apply then a babysitter when you will be gone for long hours. He does great in an office setting and stays on his dog bed and rug in the office.   He is being fostered in Sacramento California which is where he will be available to meet potential adopters. If you are interested in meeting and adopting this amazing fella, fill out an application at www.beourpet.org/adoptions.php please be as detailed as possible and let us know why you would be an ideal home for this sweet guy. He requires special attention and care to ensure he is safe, so let us know how you can provide that in your home.   If you are unable to adopt but want to help sweet BJ find the perfect home, please ***SHARE HIS STORY*** GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Special needs, needs diapes Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Not yet Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Yes Good with dogs?: Yes Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: No adoption fee for appropriate home Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5 Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.  Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee.

Story
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: $700   Jello is a 4 month old Pug mix (currently 6.6 pounds) who is as lovely as can be and can’t wait to make your life sweeter! Jello and his brother, Pudding, came to our rescue after being saved from a hoarding situation. When we originally arrived, we didn’t even know these sweet boys existed, but we refused to leave any dog behind so into the rescue they came! While we aren’t sure what Mom or Dad looked like, we suspect these brothers will remain under 15 pounds fully grown. We will be looking for individual homes for each puppy as we do not place siblings in the same home.    Jello is the leader between the two boys but only in planning the social calendar! Jello adores his toys and lives his life aiming to have more fun every day! He is an absolute character and brightens any room he enters (or more accurately comes crashing into with his brother right behind him). Jello loves playing tug of war and is figuring out how to play fetch. Jello loves cuddles as well, and often wraps his hands around an arm or hand when he is ready to snooze so he can make you nap with him! He will never say no to climbing into an open lap for some scratches as he gives out puppy kisses. This sweet boy is cute enough to eat and lives up to his namesake by making life better by the day.  Pudding is a true Mama’s Boy and would love spending his entire day being coddled and snuggled if he could. Don’t let that make you think he doesn’t like to play though! Pudding can get down with his brother and loves snatching toys and zooming away with them as fast as his little legs can carry him. Pudding practically melts when he gets belly rubs and will often fall asleep on his back as he gets loved on. Pudding follows his brother around faithfully but doesn’t let Jello take advantage of him! He will happily flop down on top of Jello when he decides it is time for a nap and then he is off in dreamland!    The brothers start their day at 7 AM with breakfast as their pen is cleaned out. They spend some time playing with each other and their toys after breakfast. They are working on basic training and have already started learning quite a few tricks! Throughout the morning, they play together and nap together in an adorable cycle until 1 PM, when they eat lunch. Once the foster family comes home, the puppies spend their evening getting their zoomies out as they race around the house before flopping over for naps. They have dinner at 6 PM and enjoy some boiled chicken with their kibble. They get some time in the yard to sniff and play after dinner, where they also work on some more tricks. After it gets dark, everyone comes inside and the puppies enjoy some snuggles on the couch until they go to bed at 8 PM in their pen.  The puppies get along well with dogs of all ages and sizes. They were polite with the resident cat. They love people and adore their human foster siblings. Jello and Pudding will require continued socialization and training to ensure they grow up to be the perfect pups we know they can be! We expect any interested home to provide a plan for training once the puppy joins your household.    Jello is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.May 2, 2024, 1:34 pm

Adoption Fee: $700   The NYT Games Puppies are a litter of playful puppies who can’t wait to help you complete your daily game rotation! These puppies are 3 months old and we think they are a mix of Shih Tzu x Pekingese x Pug x Beagle (ok we really put on our sleuth caps but may need a few ‘hints’). These puppies were surrendered to us at 8 weeks old as the result of an oopsie litter. We promised to find all four of these boys the best forever homes and they can’t wait to make life joyful for their new families!    Spelling Bee: Bee is a total Mama’s boy who loves giving kisses as he snuggles into your lap. He weighs 10 pounds as of March 27. He adores his canine companions and would love a sibling in his new home. Like any good Puggle, Bee will do just about anything for a treat or a cuddle so he will be a total goofy joy in your home! Bee also knows how to strike a pose as you hit “Genius”, so a model dog is in your future!  Connection: Connection is Mr. Personality who lights up any room he tumbles into! Connection weighs 10.2 pounds as of March 27. Connection is the most confident of his siblings, and loves roping his brothers into long wrestling sessions as he zooms around the yard. Connection doesn’t have a shy bone in his body and he totally knows that he is the world’s cutest puppy! With his Shih Tzu coat, you will want to pet him for hours at a time as you puzzle over the daily Connections puzzle, and he is happy to be by your side as you win!  Crossword: Crossword is the biggest cuddlebug who has the softest fur and the sweetest personality. He weighs 7 pounds as of March 27. Crossword loves to give kisses and his favorite spot is wherever you are (or a soft blanket). Crossword is figuring out this whole toy thing and has discovered that toys magically appear in his pen whenever he nibbles on a finger. This gorgeous Pekingese mix also loves being brushed and doted on. With Crossword by your side, you will hit a new high score every day!  Sudoku: Sudoku is a sweet and sensitive pup who can’t wait to blossom in his forever home! Sudoku weighs 7 pounds as of March 27. Sudoku is the most laid-back of the brothers, preferring to let his brothers try new things before he gets involved. Once he knows and loves you though, he is all in! Despite his small size, he dutifully watches over his brothers as their protector, which is absolutely adorable. You’ll find Sudoku ready to help you check off easy, medium, hard AND expert mode (just as long as he gets a cookie out of it)!   The puppies start their day at 8 AM with a trip outside to zoom around and potty before they come inside for breakfast in a cleaned out pen. They spend their morning cycling between sleep, snacks, and playtime with each other. They love a good puppy pile and are always eager to follow the leader in endless circles. After lunchtime, they get some outside time as long as the sun is out and get to sniff out adventure. In the evening, they have dinner and then get one-on-one snuggle time with their foster family before heading to bed to start again. The puppies have been well socialized with dogs of all ages and sizes. They have been introduced to cats and were respectful. They will require continued training and socialization, especially with people, so we will be looking for homes with a strong plan for training. We will be looking for individual homes for each boy, as we do not place siblings together.
