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: $700Meet Orbit – Your Gravity-Defying Snuggle Buddy! 1–2 years old • 9 lbs • Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie mix) • Non-shedding If you’re looking for a little dog with a lot of heart, Orbit is ready to launch straight into your life—and your lap. This 9-pound teddy bear lookalike is sweet, snuggly, and smart, with just enough spunk to keep you on your toes. He’s got a joyful personality, a surprisingly deep bark for his size, and a knack for making everyone fall in love with him. Orbit’s already housetrained, sleeps through the night, and even has a few tricks under his belt (like sit and wait!). All he’s missing? A human (or two) to orbit around. Oh and don't forget he's non-shedding for those who have allergies or simply prefer less vacuuming. Orbit’s daily routine is a perfect mix of play, exploration, and quality couch time. He starts his morning with a happy dance out of his crate and a tail-wagging walk, followed by breakfast and lots of cuddles. During the day, he alternates between people-watching from the window, chasing his favorite scrunchy toy, or flopping over for belly rubs. By evening, he’s curled up next to you for TV time—preferably with a snack crumb or two within reach. This little guy is equal parts velcro dog and adventurer. He’s got the energy for walks, toy chases, and outdoor sniffari missions, but also the emotional intelligence to settle down when it’s time to relax. Orbit loves his people deeply and wants to be near them at all times—he may cry a bit when you leave the house, but he’s fine if you’re just in another room. His only real 'bad habit'? Being too adorable when he begs for attention by burrowing into blankets or trying to open the door for his next walk. Orbit is good with other dogs, has lived peacefully with cats, and approaches kids politely on walks. While he hasn't lived with children, his gentle demeanor and non-jumpy greetings make us think he could do well with respectful older kids. He’d thrive in a home where someone is around often—whether it’s a work-from-home setup, a retiree, or just a household that’s rarely empty. Apartment, condo, or house, Orbit is flexible, as long as he gets his walks, snuggles, and window time. Like many small dogs, Orbit can get the zoomies one minute and be out cold in your arms the next. His energy syncs beautifully with yours—he’s game to romp or nap, depending on your vibe. And while he’s still working on some leash manners and handling short separations, his progress so far shows how responsive and eager to please he is. Why Orbit? Because he’s joyful, affectionate, smart, and so full of love. He’ll be your window-watching partner, your snuggle shadow, and your loyal little buddy. With his big heart and little body, Orbit is ready to make your world revolve around him—in the best way.May 6, 2025, 3:35 pm
