Good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

This dog came to us as a young dog and is now around two years old. He is a small mixed-breed male with a very affectionate personality once he feels comfortable. He loves to cuddle, stay close to his person, and relax in a calm environment. He can be shy or unsure in new situations and will bark at doors or unfamiliar noises as an alert. With patience, routine, and positive reinforcement, he continues to gain confidence. He is not aggressive and warms up well to people who give him time and reassurance. He would do best in a calm, loving home with someone who understands small dogs and is willing to continue basic training and confidence building. A quieter household or someone experienced with dogs would be ideal. He has received veterinary care, and all veterinary records and visit information will be provided to his new adopter. We are looking for a responsible, committed home where he can feel safe, loved, and secure long-term.

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.Adoption fee: $700 Mouseketeer is an 8 week old Chihuahua mix who weighs just 2.4 pounds and somehow manages to be both impossibly tiny and larger than life. With his short little legs, oversized ears, and overall goofiness, he is basically a cartoon character come to life. His name fits perfectly—this little Mouseketeer is brave, curious, and always ready for his next mini adventure. He’s expected to stay very small, making him wonderfully portable and easy to scoop up, carry, or bundle under a blanket wherever you go. Mousey has blossomed into a confident, playful puppy who genuinely enjoys exploring his world. He loves chasing after his foster parents, trotting around the house on his own, and climbing up onto laps before bravely crawling back down again. He’s expressive and fun to watch, whether he’s wagging his tail so hard his whole body wiggles or lifting one paw and cocking an ear as he studies something new. He has a bold little spirit and approaches life with curiosity and excitement! Playtime is one of Mousey’s favorite things. He adores tug-of-war, wrestling with his stuffed toys, and zooming around the house in short bursts of energy. Sometimes he runs a little too fast and trips over his own legs, but he always pops right back up and keeps going. After about 30 minutes of play, he’s ready for a nap, usually curled up in his bed or burrowed completely under the covers. When he’s calm and tired, he enjoys being close to his humans and soaking up quiet affection. Mousey is also doing wonderfully with his routine. He eats all of his meals in his crate and is very happy about it—he’s a true foodie and takes crate meals seriously. He’s learning the layout of the home through short exploratory laps and is becoming more comfortable and confident every day. He’s not a velcro dog and does well being left alone for 4–5 hours at a time, especially when he’s had some playtime beforehand. Despite his tiny size, Mousey has shown confidence around both people and dogs. He met a 60-pound lab mix and eagerly tried to play, completely unfazed by the size difference. He’s also met many humansand does best when people sit on the floor and let him approach at his own pace. He’s not much of a barker and has only barked twice, both times during excited play with a squeaky toy. Mousey is smart and learning quickly. Potty pad training is going very well and his potty habits are fairly predictable.Mouseketeer is still a baby. He’s not going on outdoor walks yet and currently uses a gated pen with a bed, toys, and pee pads as his main space. He is teething and loves to chew, especially on toys, blankets, drawstrings, and anything rope-like. When he’s excited, hands and clothing can look like chew toys, but he’s very easy to redirect. Loud noises like the vacuum or blender can startle him, and he may briefly hide under a blanket before working up the courage to investigate once things quiet down. Mouseketeer may be tiny, but his heart, confidence, and personality are enormous. He’s a joyful little reminder that bravery doesn’t come from size— it comes from spirit. Whoever adopts this Mouseketeer is getting a whole lot of dog packed into the smallest, most lovable package. February 4, 2026, 8:44 pm

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, February 7th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption fee: $600 Meet Harley! Harley is a 4 year old, 5 lb (TINY!) Chihuahua who was rescued from a noisy, overwhelming shelter — a scary place for such a little girl. But once she left that behind, her true personality started to shine! Harley is gentle, loving, and devoted — a little shadow who just wants to be near her favorite person. Her foster says Harley is a total sweetheart who has quickly adapted to home life. Her mornings start around 6 a.m. with a quick potty break in the yard, followed by her favorite ritual: snuggling back into bed with her humans. Breakfast is served around 7, and she loves hunting for her kibble in a snuffle mat or treat puzzle. Harley enjoys a few short, brisk walks throughout the day, with plenty of time for cuddling in between. Her evenings end with dinner, a cozy lap session, and curling up in bed — ideally tucked under the covers beside her person, her absolute favorite place to sleep. Harley’s personality is calm and affectionate. She’s a true lap dog and Velcro companion who thrives on closeness and attention. She loves being praised and melts into your arms for cuddles. She’s a low-energy, low-maintenance girl — more of a lounger than a hiker — who still enjoys sniffy strolls and the occasional chase after a squirrel. She’s alert and will give a few barks to announce visitors, but quiets quickly once she knows all is well. Harley is working on her housetraining and doing well with frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement. She’s fine with gentle children, though their high energy can make her nervous, and is fine coexisting with other calm dogs, though she's not interested in playing and may be a bit put off by dogs with a ton of energy. She's a low-key lady! What makes Harley special is how deeply she bonds with her person. She’s incredibly sweet, obedient, and full of love — the kind of dog who makes every day brighter just by being near you. Whether she’s snuggled into a blanket on the couch or curled up in bed, Harley’s happiest when she’s close to the person she adores. If you’re looking for a tiny companion who will love you with her whole heart and make you feel like the most important person in the world, Harley is waiting to meet you.February 2, 2026, 11:50 am

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, February 7th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption fee: $700 Meet Gatorade, a tiny but mighty puppy with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. This little guy is just 8–10 weeks old, 4-5 lbs, and already proving how resilient and adaptable he is after being rescued from a shelter where he was dumped at only six weeks old. Gatorade is thriving in foster care and soaking up everything the world has to offer. Gatorade starts his mornings around 8 AM with a trip outside to potty. He’s still a baby, so his foster carries him straight from his crate to the grass to help set him up for success. Breakfast is Blue Buffalo puppy wet food, which he happily eats before launching into a full day of play. He spends his days romping around with his foster’s resident dogs, including two large Labs and his very best friend, Mr. Figs, a 12-pound foster “babysitter” who matches his energy perfectly. Gatorade loves to wrestle and play chase, and while he’ll entertain himself with soft toys, he really prefers turning them into a fun game of keep-away with another dog. Because he’s still so young, Gatorade is not fully potty trained and will have the occasional accident in the house. A cloth pee pad is available to him, which he will sometimes use, but frequent trips to the yard—about every hour—help minimize accidents. This is all very normal puppy behavior, and he’s learning more every day. Around midday he’ll nibble on some kibble, then enjoys another serving of wet food in the evening around 5:30 PM. Gatorade is wonderfully comfortable in his crate. When nobody is home, he is happy, quiet, and content resting there. At night, after a busy day of play, he turns into a total cuddle bug and loves curling up on a lap or snuggling near his people on the couch. Bedtime is around 11 PM, and he sleeps straight through until 7 or 8 AM in his crate, tucked in with a cozy fluffy blanket. His crate is next to the bed, and he doesn’t make a sound all night—he’s never had an accident in the crate and clearly takes pride in being a good sleeper. Gatorade would love to have a doggy playmate in his new home... but he also adores cats! He's been known to cuddle with the resident cat in his foster home. Gatorade is a confident, social, and affectionate puppy who loves being around other dogs and people alike. He’s playful, loving, and eager to be part of a home where he can continue learning, growing, and burning off his endless puppy energy. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, Gatorade is going to make an incredible companion.February 3, 2026, 6:51 pm
