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 Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, March 22nd from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.   Adoption fee: $750 Meet Mystic – The Little Superhero with a Big Personality! Mystic is a 2-3 year old, 17-pound Lhasa/Shih Tzu mix with a soft, non-shedding coat—great for those with allergies! When he was rescued from the shelter, his coat was a tangled mess, but after a spa day with the groomer, he’s feeling (and looking) like a brand-new pup. Mystic is full of charm, personality, and one signature move that steals hearts—his begging dance! Whether he’s asking for treats, belly rubs, or a walk, he’ll sit up on his hind legs and “pray” with his front paws like the little performer he is. Check out his video—you won’t be able to resist! Mystic’s Daily Routine Morning: Sleeps in until his humans wake up, then enjoys a 15-minute walk to start the day. Afternoon: A 20-minute lunchtime stroll, followed by some lounging and people-watching. Evening: Another walk around the neighborhood before dinner at 5 PM (though he’s a bit of a picky eater—probably had a taste of the good life with human food before!). Night: Mystic is a night owl! He’s happy to stay up late with his person, keeping them company until bedtime. Why Mystic is Out of This World The Ultimate Sidekick – He loves staying within sight of his favorite human, whether curled up nearby or trotting alongside on a walk. A True Lovebug – Scratch his ears or rub his belly, and he’ll completely melt, rolling over and waving his paws for more. Always Ready for an Adventure – Mystic loves walks, keeps a great pace, and even enjoys a short jog! Hilarious and Endearing – His begging dance is his go-to trick, and it never fails to get a laugh (or a treat). Homebody with a Playful Side – He’s content chilling at home but also enjoys backyard time or a fun outing. The Perfect Home for Mystic Mystic is happiest with his person and isn’t the type of dog who wants to meet every stranger, but once you’re in his circle, he’s your biggest fan. He can coexist with other dogs but would also thrive as someone’s one and only pup, soaking up all the love and attention. Slow introductions with new people and dogs are best, and he’ll do well in a home that understands his need for patience and consistency. He’s still working on house training and commands, but he’s a smart little guy who’s eager to learn!March 22, 2025, 10:36 pm

Story
Looks like: Lhasa Apso mix Female, 11 years old (estimated), 22 pounds Lovely Lilly is proof that age is just a number and even the most delicate and adventurous pups can hold their beautiful and fluffy curls. This gorgeous Lady loves to be out and about, explore, and go on long walks, taking in all the sights and smells. She walks nicely on leash and is friendly with humans of all ages and dogs of all sizes. This laid-back girl relishes snoozing on the couch and doing her own thing, interspersed with occasional pets and cuddles. When home alone, she is well-behaved and waits patiently for her company to return. Lilly is very smart, gentle, and confident, and will easily adjust to new circumstances and adventures. Though this charming and loving little lady gets along great with other dogs and is currently living with a few other similarly sized pups. Lilly's ideal home would be feline free as chasing cats is a little too fun! Sweet Lilly is very polite and gentle when meeting children at adoption events. Lilly was surrendered to Santa Cruz County Animal Services before joining POMDR.

Story
Macie is a sweet, silly girl who is about 5-8 years old and 15.5 pounds.  She loves her foster mom’s dogs and is sweet to her cat. She was closed down and ill when we pulled her from the shelter. Every day her personality is blooming a bit more. She is a real homebody and will walk around the block, but would rather stay home and hang out.  She is vaccinated, chipped and spayed and has had a recent dental. Macie is a special needs dog. She needs to take medication morning and evening for her heart murmur and arthritis. She also has ointment for dry eye. Macie was a stray so we don't know how she got to this state, whether an accident or genetics, but she readily takes her meds in pill pockets and she is a wonderful companion. Her medications and  supplements cost about $100 per month and she is a dog that will need regular grooming. Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for Macie is $300. If you are interested in adopting Macie, please complete our online adoption application at https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. March 5, 2025, 12:45 am

Story
Ethan, a chill Lhasa Apso, is the guy who, stumbling out of the house with bedhead to grab a breakfast burrito before surfing, is discovered by a model scout and winds up on the cover of GQ, destined to be the next Spiderman. Our easygoing snaggletooth has emerged from a tough time in a coat of wild white floof and some temporary baldness, and yet he’s clearly a gentle heartthrob about to star in a forever home filled with cuteness, hijinks, and unconditional love. Likes dogs, gets around like a champ, will never say no to a treat or a snuggle. Adopt him for an easygoing bestie; update us on his journey to fame and fortune. Here are some notes from his foster: Ethan came from a pretty rough situation but has made huge improvements in the past few weeks- I couldn't be more proud of him! He has so much confidence now that he's feeling better-- he loves hanging out with other dogs, has a huge appetite, enjoys going on walks, adventures in the car, loves cuddles and really really loves having a routine! His skin was a big issue when he came in- he had a skin infection that was hot and inflamed, huge patches of matted fur all over his body- he was feeling pretty painful, and didn't want to be handled, understandably. After a little bit of trust Ethan let me cut the matts off and from then on he slowly started to become a whole new dog. Like a lot of our dogs, Ethan's daily routine gives him a huge sense of safety. An example--Ethan knows after his morning potty time comes breakfast and he will patiently and proudly wait by his bowl, once he's finished eating, he goes into the living room to get cozy on the couch and take a morning nap.. etc. He's figuring out how to be a dog with the help of my resident dogs/ other pups from Muttville and it's been an amazing experience watching him thrive. He has such a goofy little personality, and cutest little face, with his tiny little underbite--you can't help but smile when he's around. Ethan's forever home should include lots of love, patience, TLC, positive reinforcement, and the ability to keep him to a routine-- All of your hard work will be rewarded with the neverending amount of love, trust and companionship Ethan has to give in return.

Story
Meet Necktie, the most dapper gentleman in town! This sweet boy is always chilling, taking life one belly rub at a time. He’s got a heart full of love and a nose that always knows where the treats are! Necktie is the perfect mix of friendly and easygoing, he gets along just fine with other dogs and absolutely adores his human friends. Whether he’s lounging by your side or following you around for snacks, he’s just happy to be part of the fun! Looking for a lovable, treat-motivated best friend? Necktie is ready to tie himself to your heart forever! Here's some notes from his foster: Necktie is such a sweet, happy, good boy. I can't say enough good things about him. The first thing you need to know about Necktie is that this guy loves to eat! Necktie is basically a 2 in 1 Hoover/floor cleaning system. Not a single crumb will escape Necktie in his quest to give you sparkling clean floors (and maybe coffee tables too, watch out!) Necktie can hold his potty overnight. He loves short walks. Sniffing is his favorite and he likes to stick close right beside you. He doesn’t have issues being left alone so I think he would be fine napping at home if you had a typical 9-5 schedule. He is a very quiet dog and we have hardy heard a peep out of him. He is most happy to curl up with you on the couch and snuggle. Necktie does have both visual and hearing impairment. He can only see and hear a little bit, but I can tell that this does not stop him at all. Necktie is very smart and had our whole apartment mapped out in no time. He remembers where we put all the dog stairs to get onto the couch and bed. He even tries (and fails) to chase our cat. Necktie navigates the world with his other senses, and he is plenty confident to run and jump around once he knows his surroundings. He will also do stairs as long and you guide him the first few times. Necktie is a very sweet cuddly boy who deserves to live the good life after his time as a stray. So many families out there would be lucky to have him!
