Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.This dog will be at a meet and greet event on Saturday, June 3rd 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: $600 Tinkerbell is a 4 year old Maltese-Terrier mix who weighs all of 7 lbs. She is a teeny tiny little gal! Tink was a rescue from the shelter. She is the type of dog who adores her people but is not a big fan of strangers. It takes some time to earn her trust, but treats always help! It's important that she go to a home that will give her the time and space to open up at her own pace. Tinkerbell wakes up around 7:30am and goes potty first thing in the morning. She has breakfast and goes out for a walk and for potty. During the day she follows me around the house and hangs out next to me while I'm working. She likes to have her toys nearby and chew on them and play. She has dinner at 5pm and goes out for a walk sometime between 7 and 9pm. We put her to sleep around 11pm, and she sleeps in her crate all night. Tinkerbell was shy at the beginning but after two days she became the sweetest dog ever. She used to be scared and growl but after a couple of days she started to show her real personality. She is really sweet and loves to be near people. She is a velcro dog but she can also stay at home by herself. I always leave a door open for her to be able to go outside whenever she needs to go potty. Tinkerbell loves playing in the backyard or patio and will chase leaves or try to catch a fly. She is food driven so it is easy to call her attention and teach her new tricks! We do not have a dog but she was previously fostered with other dogs and does well with them. She could go to a home with other dogs, but she's also totally fine being the only dog in the home. She has also been around cats and has no issue with them. Tinkerbell walks great on a leash and likes to go for walks but seems a bit scared of the surroundings. She is always happy to come back home. She seems to be more comfortable hanging out in the backyard. She is very cautious when meeting new people but likes to have company. Tinkerbell is very playful but she is also a couch potato. The perfect balance!  Tinkerbell is a quiet and thoughtful girl who, once she gets to know you, will smooch and happily share her love with you. She is looking for a caring and compassionate home that will help build her shine.   Tinkerbell is only an option for a home that has owned a dog in the last 5 years. She is only an option for kids over the age of 10, due to her initial shyness.May 31, 2023, 7:22 pm

Anyone adopting has been previously approved and set up to meet prior to the event. Adoption fee: $650 The Plant puppies are a group of 16 week old Terrier mixes (probably some Maltese, some Yorkie, and some Chihuahua in there, maybe a few other breeds as well!) who were living in a car before they came to DPS. They were an accidental litter in a home with two unfixed dogs and their owner was evicted; she reached out to DPS and asked us to take in the puppies and place them in homes. Our rescue team met both Mom and Dad; Mom is a Terrier mix who weighs about 10-12 lbs and Dad is a Terrier mix who weighs about 8-10 lbs, so the pups will likely be under 15 lbs when fully grown. The pups are fostered in a pair and a trio. Here is the report on Bud and his littermate! Bud (M) and his littermate wake up at 8am for their morning meal. They receive it in their crate which they sleep in and are shortly afterwards let out to play in the rest of the house. They are not yet fully vaccinated and so can’t go for walks outside yet. During the day, we try to give them as much time as possible outside of the crate. They alternate between napping and playing – both within and outside of the crate. After 30-60 mins of running around and playing, they usually get very tired and return to their crate to nap. Their afternoon meal is at 3pm and final meal at 8pm. They potty shortly after each meal, usually on potty pads we place around the house and sometimes in the potty pad in the pen. Bud and his littermate love playing with each other, both play-fighting and chasing each other around the house! They also like to taunt each other and play tug of war with toys. Both are sometimes shy around new people, but this doesn’t last long! They warm up quickly after a few minutes and become very friendly. They are highly affectionate and LOVE human attention. They love to lick your hand and (if you let them) your face. I mean, who doesn't love puppy kisses?! They also love sitting in your lap while you work or do other things and could easily spend as long as you want in your lap. Perfect little lap-dogs in the making!   Bud is energetic and loves to run around the house! When he is in his crate, he is pretty chill. Once he is given free rein he loves to get out and zoom around! He is easily entertained with toys and just running around and loves to explore new objects.   Bud is the life of the party and will provide endless joy to those who love to play with dogs. His joy and energy will be infectious for those who love a happy dog!   The Plant puppies are only an option for homes that have owned a dog in the last 5 years. If there are children, they should be over the age of 5. Link to the other Plant puppy profile: Twig (M)  May 31, 2023, 7:22 pm

Anyone adopting has been previously approved and set up to meet prior to the event. Adoption fee: $750 Astro is an 8-10 week old Maltipoo who is cuteness incarnated! He has charmed everyone he has met. His foster home says he may be the sweetest puppy they've ever fostered! Here is their report. Astro is very young and still coming into his personality. He’s very social and wags his tail for everyone that comes near him- he is a super sweet little boy. He loves puppy treats and will thank you by rubbing his nose on your chest/ neck. He’s a Velcro pup; if I’m outside in the yard with him, he’ll just follow me around seeking attention and love. He adores humans!   Astro wakes up at 7:30 and goes in the backyard with our 2 dogs. He follows their lead and pees on the grass. He eats about ¾ cup of food at 7:30 am and another ¾ cup at 7:30 pm. He’s very good in his crate and does not complain. He loves to follow me around and always asking to be picked up and cuddled. Snuggling is his favorite thing to do for sure.   My 2 dogs are older and don’t engage much with Astro, but they allow Astro to join them on cuddles. My kids (18,10 and 9) adore Astro and they play and cuddle with him. Astro will stay in my youngest kid's lap while he is reading or watching tv. He's a great study buddy!   Astro is not a big barker. He's too young to go on walks, so we are working on leash training in the yard, but right now he still thinks the leash is a toy! His adopters will need to work on all the puppy 101 basics with him to get him trained so he will become an excellent canine citizen!   Astro is only an option for a home that has owned a dog in the last 5 years. He is an option for kids over the age of 5.May 31, 2023, 7:22 pm

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Adoption fee for Phoebe is waived :) In 2012, a family friend was moving out of town so he asked us to take in Phoebe. We agreed and Phoebe has been with us since. She is roughly 13 years old. As a senior dog, she needs to pee/poo every 2 hours if she’s not wearing a diaper. Before doggy diapers, she would do her business by the door. Now with doggy diapers, she will bark so someone can take her out to the grass every 3-4 hours. Phoebe doesn't like going in the diaper, so she will communicate when she needs to go out. We are looking for a home that is familiar with senior dogs and their tendency to have accidents. Hardwood flooring makes it easier to clean after Phoebe's accidents. Other than the fact that she often needs to pee/poo, she is easy-going. Because she is a senior dog, she no longer needs to go out on walks. She's a homebody and loves to cuddle in bed with you.

Story

Grooming RequiredPoppy is a small bundle of love weighing appx 8 pounds. Poppy is looking for the purrfect home with a yard to play in and a kind loving family.
