* 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.* This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, October 10th from 12PM – 3PM (unless adopted prior to the event).  3910 Middlefield Road All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Adoption fee: $700   Meet the Discount Litter!   Say hello to the Discount Litter, six adorable 9-10 week old tiny Chihuahua mixes who are the definition of easy breezy, playful, and full of puppy personality!   These little ones have settled into foster life beautifully and have a wonderful puppy routine. Their day starts bright and early around 5:30 AM, when they know foster mom is awake. They head outside for a potty break, followed by breakfast. After breakfast, it’s time for their favorite part of the morning… playing and zooming around together! Once they’ve worn themselves out, they happily settle down for a morning nap.   When they wake up, they have another meal followed by more playing, wrestling, chasing, and puppy adventures before settling down for another rest. Their favorite activities include wrestling with each other, playing tug-of-war, and chasing one another around the house. They are also perfectly happy being chased by the resident little dogs and enjoy spending time with the larger dogs in their foster home. At night, the Discount pups settle comfortably into their crate for bedtime. They are learning that puppies have a routine: eat, play, potty, nap, and repeat!   The siblings absolutely adore each other and play wonderfully as a group. They are active, curious, cuddly, affectionate, and very responsive. For such young puppies, their foster family has been impressed with how well they listen and how quickly they understand when it’s time to stop playing and settle down.   Each puppy has their own special personality: Ross - A people-loving pup with a lovely independent streak. He’ll climb into your lap to say hello, then head off to investigate the yard or entertain himself with a toy. His play battery is adorably short: he’s often the first puppy to call it a day and curl up beside his people for a nap. His signature sleeping pose? Flat on his back like a tiny human. His foster has the photos to prove it. Ross has met his foster family’s 10 lb and 30 lb older dogs and enjoys sniffing them and being nearby without overwhelming them. He could be happy with canine companions or as the center of attention. New noises can startle him a little, and he’s excited to see other dogs, but he isn’t much of a barker. Walmart – This solid-brown boy is the resident comedian! Walmart is independent, outgoing, and always finding a way to make everyone laugh. He loves diving underneath blankets and scratching around until he gets tired and falls asleep in his favorite cozy spot. His silly little tail wiggles when he knows he’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t. He is one entertaining puppy!  TJ Maxx – This solid yellow sweetheart is playful, outgoing, and full of personality. TJ knows exactly how to get your attention and will adorably let you know when he wants some love. He is affectionate, people-oriented, and happiest when he’s close to his favorite humans. IKEA – The smallest of the litter, but certainly not the least fearless! IKEA is a gorgeous tricolor puppy with one striking gray/blue eye and one brown eye. He is the second calmest of the group, but don’t let his size fool you, when playtime begins, he jumps right into the action. He loves chasing his siblings and joining their wrestling matches, especially his silly games with Walmart.   The Discount Litter is a loving, fun, social bunch who would make wonderful companions for families ready for all the joy and puppy antics that come with raising a young dog. They are affectionate, playful, curious, and already showing wonderful personalities that will continue to blossom as they grow.   These little ones may have discount-store names, but there is absolutely nothing discounted about the love they have to give! October 7, 2026, 6:08 pm

* 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. * This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, October 10th from 12PM – 3PM (unless adopted prior to the event).  3910 Middlefield Road Adoption fee: $750 Target: Come for the Fluff, Stay for the High Fives 9-10 weeks old * 4.5 lbs You know how you go into Target for one thing and leave with something you absolutely didn’t know you needed? Meet the puppy version. One of our Discount puppies, Target comes with extra fluff, a wonderfully balanced personality, and a very convincing argument for adding “adopt a puppy” to your shopping list.   Known as TT in his foster home, this sweet boy has earned a glowing review: “One of our favorite pups so far.” Confident, snuggly, playful, and happy to entertain himself, he has a lovely mix of affection and independence. He enjoys being close to his people, but he can also head off on a little yard expedition or settle down with a toy. Once his important puppy business is finished, he likes to plop beside you. Shopping buddy by day, couch companion by… also day.   Everything You Need in One Fluffy Package   Target loves kisses, belly rubs, and scratches. He sometimes adds little affectionate nibbles or gentle “corn cob” nibbles to his cuddle sessions. His signature move? Scratch his belly and he raises a paw as though he’s waving hello or offering a tiny high five. Customer satisfaction is clearly a priority.   He’s a wonderful lounger with just enough playful energy to keep things interesting. Toys hold his attention, exploring keeps him busy, and he’s comfortable settling in his pen. His foster describes him as people-oriented without being overly clingy—a puppy who enjoys your company and has his own little hobbies.   A Considerate Little Coworker   Target lives with older dogs weighing about 10 and 30 pounds. He likes sniffing them and hanging out nearby, and his relatively gentle energy is appreciated by his senior colleagues. He gets excited to see other dogs, adjusts well to new environments, and hasn’t been much of a barker in his foster home. Leash walking is still on his upcoming training agenda.   He could be happy joining a home with other dogs or being the solo star, with adopters ready to keep building his confidence and puppy skills.   Store Hours: Play, Snack, Nap, Repeat   TT loves his routine. His day starts around 6:30 a.m. with a potty break and pen play, followed by breakfast at 7:30 and some backyard fun. A morning crate nap gives him time to recharge before another round of play, lunch around 1 p.m., and an afternoon snooze.   Late afternoon and evening bring more short sessions of play, potty breaks, and rest, with dinner around 7:30 p.m. After his final potty trip at about 9:20, he heads into his crate for the night. He currently sleeps through the night in his foster home—a very welcome item on his list of accomplishments.   Training Department: Excellent Progress   Target naps and sleeps in his crate, enjoys a treat when he goes in, and can occupy himself with a chew. He’s learning the phrase “all done” as part of his crate routine and generally settles with little whining.   Potty training is coming along nicely with frequent opportunities to succeed. His foster takes him outside about every hour while he’s awake, and he has learned “go potty.” Once he finishes, he comes running for his reward. He seems familiar with pee pads, although his regular outdoor breaks mean they haven’t been needed much. He’ll need adopters to continue that consistent schedule as he grows.   Like any teething puppy, Target occasionally mistakes household objects for merchandise from the toy aisle. Fortunately, he redirects easily to an appropriate toy. One Special Note: Target has a tiny bump in his rectal area. He was seen by two vets, and they noted it could be either a polyp or a hemorrhoid. They advised that no treatment is necessary at this time, but his adopter will need to consult their vet and monitor as he grows. It does not bother him at all!   Ready to Add to Your Family?   Target’s extra fluff might catch your eye, but his temperament is what makes him such a special find. He’s sweet company, an enthusiastic little explorer, and a champion of the post-play plop. Give him a routine, toys, patient puppy guidance, and plenty of belly scratches, and he’ll happily supply the kisses—and the high fives. October 7, 2026, 6:08 pm

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.* This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, October 10th from 12PM – 3PM (unless adopted prior to the event).  3910 Middlefield Road All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption.  Adoption fee: $650 Paisley: A Tiny Heart Learning to Be Brave Some dogs burst into a room with confidence. Paisley prefers to tiptoe in quietly, watching from a safe distance before deciding if it's okay to trust. At just 1 year old and 7 pounds, this adorable Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix may be tiny, but her heart is full of hope—and every day she gets a little bit braver. Once Paisley decides you're her person, she becomes your tiny shadow and quite simply adores you. She follows her foster from room to room, always wanting to know where you are, and is happiest relaxing nearby. During the day she's perfectly content snoozing on the couch, and at night she curls up in a dog bed beside her foster's bed. She's not demanding or high-energy—in fact, she's mostly a little couch potato who enjoys simply being close to the people she trusts. She also loves belly rubs! Paisley loves her daily routine, especially her three walks each day. She's a lovely leash walker who doesn't pull, though new sights and sounds can still make her nervous. If another dog is barking, she may bark back, and children seen from a distance can make her uneasy as well. She's much more interested in staying close to her person than greeting strangers or making new dog friends. In the home environment, Paisley lives with multiple dogs and cats and gets along wonderfully with all of them. Paisley is on her second foster home (her first foster is traveling) and has learned to follow a routine and when kept on schedule, she is fully housetrained. The most important part is taking her out right after she eats. She goes out to the yard right when she wakes up, right after she eats, once in the afternoon, again after she ears her dinner and then before she goes to bed. If she knows what to expect and she's on a schedule then she has no issues with accidents. When her foster is gone during the day, she is crated and does well in her crate. Paisley's ideal family will understand that trust can't be rushed. She'll thrive with patient, experienced adopters who will celebrate the little victories. A quieter home without young children would likely help her continue building confidence at her own pace. She would be perfect for a single person who wants a best friend - she will adore you! The best part about Paisley is that you can see exactly what she's trying to do. She wants to be loved. She'll hurry over with hopeful eyes and a wagging tail, then second-guess herself and retreat before remembering that maybe, just maybe, this person is safe after all. Watching those moments of bravery become a little bigger every day is incredibly rewarding. If you're the kind of person who believes the sweetest relationships are built one tiny step at a time, Paisley is ready to take those steps with you. October 7, 2026, 6:08 pm

His silly little tail wiggles when he knows he’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t. He is one entertaining puppy!  TJ Maxx – This solid yellow sweetheart is playful, outgoing, and full of personality. TJ knows exactly how to get your attention and will adorably let you know when he wants some love. He is affectionate, people-oriented, and happiest when he’s close to his favorite humans. IKEA – The smallest of the litter, but certainly not the least fearless! IKEA is a gorgeous tricolor puppy with one striking gray/blue eye and one brown eye. He is the second calmest of the group, but don’t let his size fool you, when playtime begins, he jumps right into the action. He loves chasing his siblings and joining their wrestling matches, especially his silly games with Walmart.   The Discount Litter is a loving, fun, social bunch who would make wonderful companions for families ready for all the joy and puppy antics that come with raising a young dog. They are affectionate, playful, curious, and already showing wonderful personalities that will continue to blossom as they grow.   These little ones may have discount-store names, but there is absolutely nothing discounted about the love they have to give! October 7, 2026, 6:08 pm
