Dachshund puppies and dogs in Millbrae, California

Gucci, like his namesake house of design, is known for his striking, eye catching looks. To distinguish himself from the other Muttville chihuahuas, Gucci has gone for a, shall we say, interesting hair style? While we are sure his fashion sense is very avant garde, the good news is…hair grows back. So, while he may look like a cross between a dog and a Komodo dragon (which is a very cool mix), he’ll likely morph into a full doggo with some patience and care. Despite his unconventional appearance, Gucci is a good boy who is just looking for a forever home where he can express his ideas on fashion, take some nice walks, and get copious cuddles. Are you looking for a dog who is uniquely Gucci? Here's some notes from his foster: Gucci is such a sweetheart! He is super chill but has a fun personality as well. He loves nothing more than curling up on the couch for a snuggle session, and he has a super adorable habit of nestling himself under a blanket for a cozy nap. He's great going on walks (but is fine with quick potty outings as well), is great with other dogs, and is comfortable being home alone for reasonable stretches of time.

Meet sweet Suzie!    Have you ever seen a cuter little face?? This little 10-lb cuddle bug is a true best friend: loyal, affectionate, and with so much love to give. Suzie is just happy to spend time with her favorite human friends, no matter what the activity is- whether its hiking, shopping, enjoying a morning coffee on a cafe patio, or cuddling up on the couch together under a blanket (her absolute favorite), Suzie will be wagging her tail, just thrilled to be by your side.    Suzie is quite shy and requires patience as she warms up to new people, but once she opens up, she is extremely affectionate and playful and will follow you everywhere. She loves squeaky toys, and her passion for laser pointers indicates she is possibly part cat. Suzie is crate trained, house trained, food motivated and eager to please. She is good on her leash and easy to take along on errands, and even to dog-friendly offices! Though she'd definitely prefer a home where her human friends are often around, she does fine by herself, and is able to roam the house quietly and non-destructively. She's truly a perfect little bestie.    Suzie would blossom in an adults-only home where she is the apple of everyone's eyes, and can receive further basic and behavioral training. Suzie needs to be the only dog in the home, but is neutral about cats.  Adoptions in the SF Bay Area, Meet-and-greets in the East Bay. Apply now and meet Suzie  and fall in love.

Stella is a 7 pound, silly girl who absolutely loves cuddles. She will curl up with you all night and greet you with kisses in the morning. Stella was previously living in a car with 8 other dogs and has anxiety, so she needs a loving family who can ease her worries and give her lots of love. She does like to bark at other dogs so needs training to be more chill on walks but she loves cats and will insist on playing with them.

What exactly is a Dachshund-Poodle mix called? A Doxie-poo? A Weenie-poo? A Noodle-Dox? Stovepipe doesn't particularly care what you call him, as long as you're willing to let him sit directly on top of you while you say it. This adorable 5-6 month old, 20-pound puppy came to DPS from a shelter with his brother, Muffler Man. The boys were overwhelmed, frightened, and completely out of their element. Thankfully, DPS stepped in and gave them the chance they deserved.   And while Stovepipe may have arrived scared of the world, he's quickly discovering that being a puppy is actually pretty wonderful.   A Day in the Life of Stovepipe   Stovepipe starts his mornings around 7:00 AM with a trip outside for a potty break. After that, he's ready to greet the day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a healthy appreciation for breakfast.   Meals are still a bit of a work in progress. Stovepipe isn't a huge foodie yet, but he's slowly discovering the finer things in life. So far, watermelon and green beans have earned glowing reviews.   The rest of the day consists of a delightful rotation of naps, toys, puppy adventures, backyard time, and carefully supervising his foster family.   When left home with the resident dogs, Stovepipe happily entertains himself, takes naps, plays, and lets himself outside when nature calls. He's proving to be a remarkably smart little guy.   Dinner is around 5:00 PM, followed by an evening of snuggles and playtime before a final potty break and bedtime around 10:00 PM. And where does he sleep? As close to his people as physically possible.   His foster family originally tried a crate. Stovepipe strongly disagreed with this plan. Now he sleeps in the bed, often on the pillow, pressed up against his humans, perfectly content and sleeping through the night without any potty breaks.   From Terrified Shelter Puppy to Professional Snuggler   When Stovepipe first arrived, he was scared...drooling from anxiety, shut down, and unsure of everything around him. He didn't want people reaching for him or trying to interact. He simply wanted to quietly exist nearby and figure things out at his own pace. Fortunately, his foster family gave him exactly what he needed: time. Within hours, he started following the pack around the house. Within a day, he was trying to climb into laps. Within a few days, he discovered toys. And once he discovered toys, there was no going back. He's made tremendous progress, and like many puppies who've experienced shelter stress, he's still building the confidence to feel settled when his people step out - something the right home can absolutely help him grow through. Today, Stovepipe is embracing puppyhood with enthusiasm and learning that life can be full of fun, affection, and adventure.   Velcro Puppy Level: Extreme   Some dogs like being near their people. Stovepipe would prefer to merge with his people if possible.   He is happiest when he knows exactly where his favorite human is at all times. He'll follow from room to room, settle beside you while you work, nap near your feet, and then move closer if you happen to shift positions. If you're sitting on the couch, Stovepipe would like to be touching you. If you're lying in bed, Stovepipe would like to be touching you. If another dog moves away and creates an opening closer to you, Stovepipe considers that a personal invitation.   Despite all of this, he's actually quite respectful. He doesn't demand constant attention. He simply wants to be nearby.   And when you tell him what a good boy he is? His entire body wags. Sometimes he gets so excited that he starts bouncing up and down in little happy puppy hops.   Toy Collector and Puppy-in-Training   One of the most fun parts of watching Stovepipe blossom has been seeing him discover toys.   At first, he wasn't quite sure what they were. Now he treats the toy box like a treasure chest.   He loves sorting through toys, carrying them around, and deciding which one deserves his attention at any given moment. Every day seems to bring a new favorite.     Life With Other Dogs   Stovepipe absolutely loves being part of a pack.   He was initially shy around the resident dogs, but quickly warmed up and now wants to play whenever someone is willing.   His favorite playmate is the younger dog in the house, and the two spend their days racing through the yard, wrestling, chasing each other, and generally having the time of their lives.   The senior dog, however, occasionally wishes for a little more personal space. Stovepipe hasn't fully grasped this concept yet.   He continues to politely—and repeatedly—check whether she has changed her mind about playing.   Because of how much confidence and joy he gains from other dogs, his foster family would love to see him join a home with another friendly, playful dog who can continue teaching him the ropes.   House Training and Home Manners   Stovepipe has made impressive progress with house training. He quickly learned where to potty and now routinely takes himself outside when he needs to go. He can also hold it overnight with no problems.   Adventure Potential   Because he is still completing his vaccinations, Stovepipe hasn't started leash walks yet. But based on his personality, curiosity, and love of being wherever his people are, his foster family suspects he may grow into an excellent adventure buddy. Whether that's hiking trails, exploring new places, or simply running errands together, Stovepipe seems happiest when he's included.   Stovepipe's Perfect Home   Stovepipe's ideal home would include another playful dog who can continue building his confidence and showing him how wonderful life can be. He would do best with patient adopters who understand that while he's come a long way, he's still gaining confidence and learning about the world. Because he forms strong bonds with his people and thrives on companionship, he would love a family that enjoys including their dog in everyday life. And perhaps most importantly, his future family should be prepared to share their furniture. And probably their pillow.   Why You'll Fall in Love   Watching Stovepipe transform has been nothing short of magical.   The frightened little puppy who arrived from the shelter is slowly being replaced by a happy, playful, affectionate boy discovering all the joys of being loved.   His full-body tail wags.   His little play hops.   His fascination with toys.   His determination to be touching his people at all times.   The way he chooses connection over everything else.   Stovepipe is proof that sometimes all a scared puppy needs is a little patience, a little kindness, and a safe place to land.   Now that he's found his footing, he's ready for the next chapter: a forever family who will cherish the sweet, snuggly, toy-loving puppy he's becoming. August 5, 2026, 12:58 am

* 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, August 8th from 12–3 PM (unless adopted prior to the event).   All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption.   Adoption fee: $650 The Grocery Store Puppies: Only Two Left in Stock! Most people bring home groceries in a Grocery Outlet bag. These puppies somehow arrived at a shelter in one. Yes, really. The Grocery Store Puppies got their market-themed names after being dropped off at a shelter inside a Grocery Outlet bag. Thankfully, their story gets much better from there. DPS scooped them up, and these lucky puppies have been thriving ever since — so much so that three of them, Mollie Stone, Piggly Wiggly, and 99 Ranch, have already been checked out by their forever families! That means just two ridiculously adorable boys are still on the shelf: Publix and Nob Hill. And trust us — inventory like this doesn't last long. At 4 months old, these Dachshund mixes (maybe some Beagle in there? Pug?) sport gorgeous light brindle coats that make them look like tiny designer dogs. Their parents' identities may remain one of life's great mysteries, but one thing is certain: both boys are ridiculously adorable. They've been in the rescue for several weeks now and don't seem to be growing much; they're currently under 10 lbs and we expect that they'll remain on the small side! Aisle One: Food Lovers The Grocery Puppies wake up between 8:00 and 9:00 AM ready to tackle the important business of being puppies: wrestling matches, zoomies, toy theft, and more wrestling. Breakfast is around 9:00 AM, lunch between 1:00 and 2:00 PM, and dinner around 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Both puppies come running the instant food appears, because this litter firmly believes every meal could be the greatest meal of all time. Between meals, they squeeze in plenty of naps, usually piled together in an adorable puppy heap. Publix: The Explorer Publix is confident, curious, and adventurous. He's the first puppy to investigate a new toy, explore a new room, or figure out what's happening on the other side of a gate. He seems convinced that every day should contain at least one exciting discovery. But don't let the explorer résumé fool you — once the day's discoveries are complete, Publix is all in on his people. He's the puppy who wants to share every adventure with his favorite human, then curl up beside them to recharge for the next one. Brave heart, soft center. Nob Hill: The Total Package Nob Hill combines playful puppy antics with expert-level snuggling. He's always happy to join a game of chase, wrestle with his brother, or carry toys around proudly. But the moment someone sits down, he'll abandon his important puppy business in favor of belly rubs and cuddles. As long as he has people, toys, and snacks nearby, Nob Hill considers life pretty much perfect. Going Fast — Grab Yours Before They're Gone These brothers are playful, social, food-motivated, affectionate, and wonderfully adaptable. They love people, adore toys, and spend their days alternating between full-speed puppy chaos and heart-melting cuddle sessions. With three siblings already settling into forever homes, Publix and Nob Hill are ready to follow in their pawprints. While they currently enjoy each other's company, each puppy is looking for his own forever family where he can grow into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. Whether you're looking for an adventurous explorer or the total package, there's a Grocery Store Puppy ready to fill your cart. And unlike most impulse purchases at the checkout line, this is one decision you'll never regret. August 5, 2026, 12:58 am
