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: $800 Countess Whiskerella of Floofington 2–3 years old | 25 lbs | Frenchie-Pekinese Mix | Ice-blue eyes | Personality as big as her name All hail Countess Whiskerella of Floofington — a royal blend of stubborn charm, comedic floof, and ice-blue elegance. Rescued from a shelter, Whiskerella has left her mysterious past behind and fully embraced her new identity as a noble lady of leisure and opinion. Her floofy coat, hilariously expressive face, and piercing blue eyes make her a showstopper wherever she goes. A Day in the Life of Royalty Whiskerella begins her day at 7 am, though she’s no fan of early mornings. After a short “please hurry” walk, she insists on returning indoors for her first meal—she’s got standards, after all. During the day, she lounges like the dignitary she is, often nearby her human, playing gently with rustling toys or napping on the floor (the Countess has rejected all soft beds in favor of a humble blanket by her human's bedside). Evening is when she shines. Around 8 pm, she’s ready for her grand promenade, where she showcases her excellent leash manners— unless, of course, you dare suggest a route she disapproves of. Then, she will sit or flop dramatically until you change course. Personality Fit for a Palace When Whiskerella first arrived at her foster home, she was all drama: non-stop panting, bouncing off the walls, and launching her cone-crowned head into every shin and lap. But after a few long walks (royal strolls, if you will), her true personality began to emerge— relaxed, affectionate, and wonderfully quirky. She became a calm and curious companion, a true lady... with opinions. She is loyal, intelligent, and sometimes a bit stubborn. She understands basic obedience and is working on “sit and wait” before going out, but be warned: she remembers everything. If you leave her behind, she might just hold a grudge. Affectionate... with Boundaries Whiskerella loves affection and will happily curl up with you on the couch— if invited. However, she interprets a single invitation as a full-time promotion, so boundaries must be enforced or she’ll try to rule your entire lap and life. She thrives with structure, routine, and gentle but consistent leadership. When petted on the chest or behind the ears, she lights up with joy. It's one of the purest rewards you'll ever witness. Family Life & Social Skills She’s incredibly tolerant with children and doesn’t mind if little hands explore her face, paws, or ears. That said, she still jumps when excited and could knock over small children She’s indifferent to other dogs on walks and hasn’t shown much interest in dog-to-dog interaction so far. Quirks & Challenges Whiskerella is mostly housetrained, though she has had a few accidents tied to changes in routine or emotional protest. She's still adjusting and would benefit from a patient adopter who can offer her consistency and continue supporting her training. She’s not a chewer, digger, or barker—just a determined diva with a quiet, expressive stare that will melt your heart and test your resolve. Countess Whiskerella may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for the right person, she is a treasure. Regal, ridiculous, and utterly endearing— she’s looking for a forever throne (er, home) to call her own. Interested in hosting a Countess, for life? Get ready for floof, sass, and a whole lot of love. May 15, 2025, 5:12 pm
