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 Meet the Seed Puppies: Poppy, Chia, and Sesame — a delightful trio of 3–4 month old Italian Greyhound mix puppies, each currently weighing about 3–4 pounds. These tiny pups each bring their own distinct personality to the group, making them an especially charming and well-balanced bunch. The Seed Puppies are easygoing, happy little dogs with a predictable and puppy-perfect routine. They typically wake up around 7:00 AM, immediately ready for breakfast and whatever fun the day has in store. After eating, it’s straight into play mode, complete with zoomies, wrestling matches, and enthusiastic exploration of the yard. They’re a curious pack and like to thoroughly inspect every inch of their environment before tiring themselves out. These puppies truly play hard and then crash hard, settling in for a couple of hours of napping before waking up ready for lunchtime and another round of fun. In the afternoons, their personalities really shine. Chia and Sesame love stretching out in the sunshine, soaking up warmth and watching the world go by, while Poppy prefers indoor comforts, choosing a cozy couch or a welcoming lap. After dinner, the trio gears up for one last burst of energy, racing around the living room before winding down and seeking out a snug spot for the night. All three puppies are crate trained and happily sleep in their own cozy spaces, making bedtime an easy and peaceful part of their day. Though they share a sweet and social nature, each of the Seed Puppies has a unique temperament. Poppy is the gentle soul of the group. Her favorite place is in a person’s lap, where she’ll happily stay as long as neck scratches are provided. She is incredibly affectionate, quick to respond when called, and often opts out of rambunctious play to seek out human companionship instead. Chia is the adventurer. He is fearless, endlessly curious, and always on the move. New environments excite him, and he’s often the first to investigate something unfamiliar. While the others hesitate, Chia charges ahead, confidently exploring and then returning when called. Once he's finished exploring, he settles down nicely for some cuddle time! Sesame is the resident lovebug. She greets the world with a constantly wagging tail and an abundance of kisses. She’s expressive, joyful, and seems to communicate entirely through her ears and body language. Sesame loves playful tumbles just as much as she loves curling up for a nap in someone’s lap if the opportunity arises. The Seed Puppies have been wonderfully socialized in their foster home and have done well living alongside a variety of companions. They coexist peacefully with a small dog, a medium-sized cat, a tiny hamster, and two teenagers. They’ve learned to respect the cat’s boundaries, happily engage the dog in group zoomies, and absolutely adore the teenagers, especially when they’re willing to roll around on the floor and play. Their friendly, adaptable nature makes them a joy to have in a busy household. Energy-wise, these puppies strike a lovely balance. They are playful and energetic during their active periods, but once playtime is over, they transform into serious couch potatoes. They’ve even claimed the softest blanket in the house as their own, creating a cozy nest where they can all pile together to rest. Due to their small size, they are not yet going on leash walks. They are doing well with pee pad use and are beginning to learn to potty outside, though continued housetraining will be needed. They enjoy chew toys and benefit from having appropriate outlets for their energy, but they have not been destructive in the home. They are also not big barkers; aside from some light whining in the mornings when they’re ready to start the day, they are generally quiet. What truly sets the Seed Puppies apart is their wonderful demeanor. They are fun-loving, affectionate, and get along beautifully with everyone they meet. They bring joy, laughter, and warmth wherever they go. One particularly memorable moment involved the trio disappearing entirely, only to be discovered proudly hiding together in a closet, clearly pleased with their successful game. It perfectly sums them up: sweet, clever, and happiest when they’re together.January 26, 2026, 5:26 pm
