Story
     Meet Axl Rose Diva!! Axl came to us back in 2023 and was adopted to a very sweet lady. Unfortunately, his owner passed Way and her sister reached out to us. Of course we happily took him back into our program.  Axl is a 15 lb, 11 yr old neutered Havanese Mix. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, parasite free and recently had a dental.  His foster family had nothing but great things to say about him. He gets along great with other dogs and takes over the leader role at the neighborhood dog park. He’s easy to take care of and pretty chill most the time. He’s stand offish with being introduced to new people and situations. He’d be perfect fit someone with that understanding. He can be possessive at mealtime so we suggest separate feeding areas.  Axl loves car rides and like we said, he loves the dog park.   GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Yes, we think so Crate Trained?: Unknown  Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Unknown  Good with dogs?: Yes Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: Yes Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5 Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.  Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee.

Story
We rescued Gigi from a distant shelter. The shelter person told us that she was maybe about 4-5 yrs old and very friendly. Great with dog buddy in her kennel. One shelter staff person said she didn't notice all the medical needs that Gigi has. Gigi was neglected matted and very dirty with bad smell. Dog friendly. When she went to our vet he told us she is older and that she needed dental and had some gum inflammation has lump on belly (need to remove & biopsy) not spayed and has double cataracts (vet did eye dye tests). Blood and urine tests shows no diabetes which can cause cataracts. No issues seen in test results. She was so smelly that the vet office shaved her body and bathed her. We already spent over $1000 for her vet care and many tests. Problem… it will cost over $3000 plus for her dental X-ray spay removal of lump biopsy and $10K for cataract surgery if we opt for this surgery. Vet gave her eye drops. She has poor vision but sees light and large objects. She is getting around fine at her foster home and on walks. She can manage going up and down stairs. We plan to try another drop that dissolves cataract for $150. Seen good results with other dog owners. Then will see a vision vet. Gigi is great with foster home's dog. Very easy going and sweet. She loves her food and does rollies. Can go up and down stairs to 2nd floor and jump up on sofa and bed. Does fine on walks. Did great going to foster home's work studio with her and did great with everyone. Greeted people. Walked around and very well behaved. Gigi is such a good girl. We have spent over $1000 so far on first exam eye blood & urine tests shave down/bath medications and all her vet care. Her vet costs will be in the high thousands for dental spay lump removal and eye care. If we have to do cataract eye surgery it will cost us $8000 - $10000. We hope the healthy foods eye vitamins and drops work to avoid the surgery. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you. 🥰 https://www.furryfriendsrescue.org/donations 3/14/26 Update from her foster home: Gigi is a really remarkable little girl. I’m surprised by her everyday! She’s able to get around quite easily on her own despite the occasional light booping against my leg or a wall. She listens for my footsteps and able to follow me around. She’s quiet and easy going. Friendly with other dogs and everyone we meet on the street. I’m amazed by how easily she’s adapted to San Francisco streets. Her poor eyesight doesn’t seem to be slowing her down. She’s trusting cuddly and just likes to be nearby. She’s also an easy eater and house trained. All my friends and neighbors who’ve met her think she’s the sweetest.YouTube: https://youtu.be/mQwFiUOiwdAApril 28, 2026, 1:07 pm

Story
Meet Cannoli, a charming young Havanese mix with a gentle heart and so much love to give. True to his Havanese roots, Cannoli is affectionate, intelligent, and thrives on companionship. He forms strong bonds with his people and enjoys being close, whether that’s relaxing at home or joining you for a peaceful walk. Cannoli is wonderfully well-mannered in many ways—he’s fully potty trained, walks nicely on leash, and rides calmly in the car. Like many small companion breeds, he’s attentive and eager to learn, making him very trainable and responsive to guidance. He does best in a quieter environment and can feel overwhelmed by high-energy situations, especially around younger people. Because of this, Cannoli would truly flourish in a calm, adult-only home where he can feel safe and understood. He is only adoptable to a household with all members 18+ years old. With his sweet nature, loyalty, and potential to keep learning and growing, Cannoli is the perfect match for someone looking for a devoted companion and best friend.

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.This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, May 2nd from 12-3 PM unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, please submit an application in advance at https://www.dpsrescue.com/adopt/dog-application/. Adoption fee: $800 Freshly popped and impossible to resist, meet the Popcorn puppies!   Born on February 7th to Mama Popcorn, a 16 lb Havanese mix, Butter, Caramel, Cheddar, and Kettle are a delightful foursome who joined our rescue as surrenders alongside the Money Puppies. We suspect they may share the same dad because these adorable little kernels definitely look related! Now just over 10 weeks old, they’re bursting with personality, affection, and that irresistible puppy charm that makes everyone smile.   The Popcorn puppies start their day around 7am, heading outside for potty time and a little morning play session. They always have kibble available to snack on throughout the day, and around 5:30pm they enjoy a special dinner of kibble mixed with Olewo (a carrot food topper that helps with digestion). Their days are a cozy mix of eating, napping, and playing together in their pen, with outdoor breaks every few hours when their foster is home. When they’re tired, you’ll often find them curled up at their foster’s feet, recharging for their next adventure. By 10pm, they’re ready to settle in for the night, snoozing peacefully in their pen— and they’ve gotten pretty good at using the potty pads in their designated area.   All four puppies are incredibly cuddly and devoted little companions. They’re true “velcro dogs” who love being close to their people— so close, in fact, that walking across the room can feel like navigating a sea of fluffy popcorn kernels gathering at your feet!   Butter is the sweetest little lap dog, happiest when she’s snuggled up close and handing out gentle kisses. She’s also the tallest of the bunch and isn’t afraid to use that extra height to her advantage— whether that means hopping onto the top of the crate or reaching a low shelf her siblings can’t quite manage. She's a little acrobat-in-training!   Caramel is the playful spark of the group. He loves a good game and will sometimes bring a toy over as an invitation to join in the fun. Even when it looks like he’s settling down, he might suddenly pounce on a sibling who’s napping—just to keep things lively and entertaining.   Cheddar is the family communicator, using soft little whines to let you know when he’d appreciate some attention. He’s also the only one so far who actively requests belly rubs— and once you start, he’s more than happy to soak up every second. Curious by nature, Cheddar enjoys exploring and has been spotted squeezing under furniture in places you wouldn’t expect him to fit. He especially loves napping with his head resting on his person’s feet.   Kettle may just be the ultimate velcro puppy. Wherever you go, he wants to be right there with you. When his foster is cooking, he faithfully lies at their feet— and if they move just a few steps away, he pops up, follows along, and settles right back down again. He also has a hilarious habit of trotting ahead, flopping dramatically onto the floor, then repeating the routine once you pass him.   These sweet, social puppies are growing into affectionate companions who adore attention, enjoy playtime, and settle nicely into a routine. With their loving personalities and snuggly nature, the Popcorn puppies are ready to pop right into the hearts—and homes—of their forever families.April 29, 2026, 10:55 pm

Adoption fee: $800 Meet Yen, Euro, and Peso — Three Tiny Investments with Big Returns   Born on February 10th to Mama Moolah, a petite Papillon mix, Yen, Euro, and Peso are three of the six adorable “Money Puppies” who joined our rescue alongside the Popcorn puppies— who may even be their half-siblings! At about 10 weeks old, these fluffy boys are already proving to be valuable additions to their foster home. With their soft coats and playful personalities, we suspect Dad may have been a Havanese, giving them that extra dose of fluff and bounce.   Fostered together as a trio, Yen, Euro, and Peso have settled nicely into their routine and are learning all the right skills for life as beloved companions. Each puppy brings his own unique personality to the group, but they all share a love of playtime, cozy naps, and staying close to their people. Think of them as a diversified portfolio—three different personalities, all guaranteed to appreciate in affection over time.   Their Daily Routine They typically wake up around 7:00–8:00 AM and start their day with a potty break— something they’re already doing very well with, as they reliably use puppy pads in their playpen.   After breakfast, they enjoy playtime outside their pen, exploring their surroundings and engaging with toys and each other. Throughout the day, they alternate between short bursts of activity, naps, and regular potty breaks every few hours. They’re also getting gentle exposure to basic care routines, including being held, having their ears cleaned, teeth brushed, and nails trimmed, and they handle it all with calm acceptance.   In the evening, after their final play session and some light grooming, they settle comfortably into their playpen around 9:00–10:00 PM. A puppy pad is placed in the pen overnight, which they use appropriately, and they sleep peacefully until morning.   Yen — The Confident Explorer Yen is the bold adventurer of the group, a confident and curious puppy who jumped right into foster life without missing a beat. He loves exploring new spaces, investigating toys, and claiming a favorite chew as his own. There’s a spark of independence in Yen that makes him especially fun to watch— he enjoys being part of the action but is also perfectly content to entertain himself.   When playtime winds down, Yen shows his softer side. He has a special love for plush, cozy beds and will happily curl up on the softest spot he can find for a well-earned nap. Yen brings energy and personality wherever he goes, the kind of puppy who keeps life interesting and always moving forward.   Euro — The Goofy Charmer Euro is the class clown of the trio, with an adorable bouncy walk and a personality that makes people smile instantly. He may be a little shy when meeting new people or entering new environments, but it doesn’t take long for his playful, affectionate nature to shine through.   He’s incredibly curious about the world around him and loves squeaky toys, playful wrestling with his siblings, and following the action wherever it goes. And when it’s time for affection, Euro is all in— he’ll happily flop onto his back and offer his belly for rubs without hesitation. Euro has a lighthearted spirit that brings joy to any room he enters.   Peso — The Gentle Snuggler Peso is the calm and tender-hearted member of the trio, a sweet and thoughtful puppy who forms strong bonds with his people. He’s naturally attentive and seems to genuinely enjoy learning and connecting, making him a pleasure to spend time with.   One of Peso’s most endearing qualities is how relaxed he becomes when held. He loves cuddling and will often drift off to sleep in your arms like a baby, completely trusting and content. His gentle nature and eagerness to please make him an especially easy puppy to fall in love with.   Why You’ll Love Yen, Euro, and Peso These three little boys are the perfect combination of playful energy, growing confidence, and irresistible sweetness. Whether it’s Yen proudly carrying off his favorite toy, Euro bouncing across the room for belly rubs, or Peso melting into your arms for a nap, each one offers something special.   They may be named after currencies, but the real value they bring isn’t measured in dollars, yen, or pesos—it’s measured in tail wags, laughter, and the kind of everyday companionship that pays dividends for years to come.April 29, 2026, 10:55 pm
