Story
Hi, I'm Ruby. You might remember my brother Rocco, the tiny 6-pound guy who came to DPS severely matted, skin and bones, covered in ticks, and desperately needing medical care. Well... I'm his sister. And unfortunately, I wasn't doing much better. When DPS got me, I was covered in ticks, my skin was in terrible condition, and I was so severely dehydrated that I had to stay at the veterinary hospital for a couple of days. Basically, my little body had been through A LOT. But look at me now. I survived all of that and have since discovered something called indoor living, and I would just like to say... WHY WAS THIS INFORMATION KEPT FROM ME?! There are couches. There are fluffy blankets. There are people who bring you FOOD. And apparently, you can just lie around doing absolutely nothing while humans tell you how cute you are?! I was MADE for this lifestyle. I'm tiny, sweet, curious, and I definitely have opinions. I enjoy supervising everything happening around me while contributing absolutely nothing. And then there are my ears. One is on duty. The other has submitted its resignation. After everything I went through, I think I've earned the right to be a little spoiled. So now I'm looking for my forever family. Preferably one with comfortable furniture, plenty of blankets, good snacks, and humans who understand that I will be management. My past may be connected to neglect, but that's not where my story ends. From here on out, I'm planning on being Ruby: beloved family member, professional couch warmer, household supervisor, and tiny queen of absolutely everything.

Story
Hi, I'm Peachy! I came from a community in Thermal where Desert Paws Sanctuary has helped several animals. There were four other dogs where I was living, and unfortunately, our situation wasn't the best. Then my world changed. My owner was deported, and I was left behind. As time passed, it felt like everyone had forgotten about me. But DPS didn't. Now I'm getting my chance to find a family who will never forget me again! And trust me, I have LOTS of love to give. I'm a super sweet, happy girl who loves to play and gets along great with other dogs. I love having doggie friends, enjoying life, and showing everyone just how lovable I am. My name is Peachy, and I think it fits me perfectly because I'm pretty darn sweet. Now I just need one more thing... a forever family to call my own.

Story
Hi, I'm Albert! I'm ridiculously cute, and basically a professional shadow. If you're in the living room, I'm in the living room. If you move to the kitchen, congratulations, we're going to the kitchen. I'm a pretty mellow guy, but don't let that fool you. Show me a tennis ball and I'm ready for action. I also get the occasional case of the ZOOMIES because apparently I have important places to be VERY FAST. I'm great in the car and would happily be your little road trip buddy. I've lived with other dogs and do well with canine friends, too. Now, I do have a few quirks. I'm a food critic. I don't just eat anything. I have standards. I do NOT like the wind. Why is the air attacking me? Absolutely unnecessary. Potty training? Well... we're still working on that part. Nobody's perfect. You'll just need to stay on top of my routine while I get the hang of it. Most of all, I'm a sweet boy who loves being close to my person. I'm looking for someone who wants a loyal little sidekick who will follow them around, ride shotgun, chase tennis balls, and occasionally sprint through the house for absolutely no reason.

Story
Hi there, I'm Junior, a 6-month-old Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love to give! When I first arrived at the shelter, I was pretty scared and covered in ticks, but thanks to the caring people here and my amazing foster family, I've come a long way. I've slowly learned that the world isn't such a bad place after all. I'm still a bit shy, but once I get comfortable around you, my playful and loving side shines through. I'm hoping to find a patient forever home where I can continue to learn and grow with lots of encouragement. If you're looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time and love to blossom, I might just be your perfect match! Can't wait to meet you!

Story
Hi, I'm Kibby I'm an affectionate and gentle girl who loves being close to my people. I enjoy soft moments, kind voices, and simply being near those I trust. I have a calm heart and a lot of love to give. I'm looking for my forever home after my owner made the very difficult decision to surrender me. It was at no fault of my own. Sometimes life changes in ways we cannot control, and my person was downsizing and wanted to be sure I would be safe and loved. I tend to bond with women and am looking for someone who enjoys quiet companionship, cozy evenings, and doesn't mind sharing a little bed space so that we can be close. I enjoy short, leisurely walks where I can explore the world, then it's right back to cuddles and relaxation. If you're looking for a sweet companion who will walk beside you through life, I might just be your girl.

Story
I adopted Luna at the animal shelter, she was super playful from the start and got along with my 2 year old daughter. Her paperwork stated she was around 1 year old. She is a very loving dog. Unfortunately we moved into something smaller, and we are not able to give her the time as much and space she needs. Due her shedding we decided to trim her hair to avoid allergies which did not seem to work. We are hoping she finds a good home that loves her.
