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.This dog will be at a meet and greet event on Saturday, May 20th unless he/she is adopted prior to the event with a set up home. The event is from 12 pm to 3 pm at Palo Alto's Pet Food Express. Those interested in meeting the dog can come out to our meet and greet event. We no longer do application approval onsite. Anyone adopting has been previously approved and set up to meet prior to the event. Adoption fee: $350 Lego is a 3 year old JRT mix who we rescued from a shelter. He was quite scared and we were happy to take him in and show him that humans are good and life has more to offer! He's been settling into his foster home and making progress. Here is their report! When he first arrived at our house, he was shy but but it didn’t take too long for him to feel safe. Since then he has gained so much confidence and loves to play by himself or with my dog (chihuahua mix). He is very energetic- like a puppy- and loves to go on hikes and does well on the leash. Our family has enjoyed having him in our house because he is a happy dog that will get extremely excited to see us even if you just went out to take trash. Also, he is a Velcro dog who follows me or my husband like a shadow. Recently it seems that he has become more independent and is content to nap on the sofa by himself. He loves giving puppy kisses and cuddles and never loses an opportunity to nap on my lap.   We wake up at 7:15 and take Lego for a 10 to 15-minute walk so he potties outside. He has breakfast at 9:00 am and plays/naps until I’m back from work at 5:00 pm and takes him for 30 minutes walk. He eats dinner at 7:00 pm. Then I take him another 10-minute walk at 9:00 pm around the neighborhood and go to sleep at 10:00 pm. When I work remotely he wants to be on my lap but he gets uncomfortable so I place a bed next to my desk. On the weekends we take Lego for 30-40 minutes hikes. Lego is an option for a home that has owned a dog previously. He would love to go to a home with another playful dog to be his buddy, but it's not mandatory. He is an option for kids over the age of 6.  May 29, 2023, 1:08 am

Story
Snickers is a happy puppy, playful, and timid at first. He wants a home with people who will take him out every day to smell, see, and hear new events, people, and places. When cuddled, Snickers flops onto his back. He sleeps in a crate without complaint and is learning about leashes. He is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. His breed is only a guess since the mom nor dad was with Snickers when we rescued him. He is neutered and he received three puppy vaccines so he is ready to meet the world and is safe from disease. Your vet may recommend more vaccines. Check with them.

Story
~Spanky~ 4 years old Breed: Terrier Mix/Boarder Collie Weight: 25 lbs House Trained Male Sweet and spirited Spanky is an endearing blend of affectionate and active. Once his foster mom earned his trust, she earned his loyalty and love. Despite his size, Spanky sees himself as a lap dog, calmly snuggling with her and being petted and held although he does enjoy spending time on his own. Always curious and always up for adventure, he gets along well with other dogs, enjoys running in the park (he’s excellent off leash), pulling on rope, playing with – and tearing apart – chew toys and going for car rides with his head out the window. Motivated by food and treats and a fondness for blueberries, he knows “come” and “sit”, isn’t a fan of being wiped down or cleaned, and barks at passersby outside the backyard. He also has a tendency to resource guard around his doggy foster brother, and prefers to sniff new people before they pet him. For these reasons, Spanky is best suited to a loving home with patient adopters who will earn his trust, continue his socialization and complete his doggy education in return for his enduring loyalty and love. Spanky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. To meet or adopt Spanky, fill out an application and a volunteer will contact you shortly.

I'm a sweet natured and friendly pup that enjoys being around people and dogs alike. I love playing fetch and running zoomies in the yard!

Story
Sebastian  is an absolute love bug! He is so sweet and eager to please! He is incredibly smart and is coming along great in training. He loves his walks and playtime at the park. He also loves to run and enjoys interacting with other dogs his size. He is confident and curious about the whole world.  This little dude will wear himself out playing and want nothing more to curl up next to you for a nap afterward. Sebastian loves kids and has been great with every kid and dog he has come across. Sebastian is ready to take on the world with his new family! Energy Level?  Medium to High House trained?  Mostly. Sebastian is working on house training. He will need a family willing to continue working with him on not lifting his leg indoors. He is 90% housebroken-and his recent neuter will help! Describe how they are on leash?  He is able to walk next to you and is very good on a leash. We are diligently working on commands. &#226&#128&#139 Describe how they are with other dogs?  Very sociable and friendly.  He has no fear of larger dogs and wants to play! It's best to pay attention to him as he might seem overwhelming to smaller or older, more calm dogs. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  N/A Commands they know?  Circle (heel), free (out of walking next to you), sit (although he still ignores me sometimes), stay ( working on this), go potty, go outside, kennel. He doesn't want to kennel. So as soon as I say kennel, he jumps in the chair! What are their favorite things?  He loves to hike with us and go to the park! Loves to train!!!! He is so smart and wants to please his person. What do they need to work on?  Sebastian is a young male and needs training. He will thrive with a person or family that is willing to keep working with him. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  He has been left alone for about 4 hours in his kennel. He is good when we take him with us too. Where do they sleep?  He is crate trained at night but would rather be with us. He has twice fallen asleep in bed with our daughter before being moved to his crate. He would be a great snuggler at night but can be crated if preferred. What is their ideal home?  I see Sebastian with a family with kids and maybe even another dog his size. He has absolutely thrived in our home with us. He loves people and is super sociable. He wants and needs a lot of attention but can also calm down and be fine on his own. This guy needs an active companion. Someone who wants a pup that is with them in nature and at parks, that wants to train and be his best friend! Our Adoption fee is $325.   For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online application:   www.everypetsdream.org/adopt  and  we will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us:  Facebook  and  Instagram May 28, 2023, 2:37 am
