Story
We rescued Pascal from a crowded shelter. Named him after handsome Pedro Pascal. Pascal is gentle very sweet and friendly. Dog friendly. A little timid at first and warms up. Loves being petted and cuddles. He got his vet care at Tama Veterinary Hospital and now resting at his hero Foster Home. In a few days we will schedule his grooming. More info. and photos to come. Pascal enjoys going out to fh's backyard often and lounging. So a home with a backyard is best. Update 6/21/25: Pascal has been a sweetie with everyone but last few days he has some type of enviromental allergy with intense itching of his lower belly and under thighs. No fleas. He had a bath. He saw our vet for Cytopoint injection and is taking anti-itch pills. Also trying natural solution and will try diet change from chicken to fish or beef. Not sure what is causing the itch yet. For now when he is itchy he is annoyed and not good with being petted by foster home's 13 yrs son and tried to nip a couple of times. So for now no kids for Pascal. We hope to figure out what is causing his enviromental itching so he will relax and be happy again. 7/1/25 UPDATE: No more itching and back to normal happy personality. He may have had allergic reaction to something he laid on.July 6, 2025, 12:27 am

Story
Oh my gosh, Josh!! Josh is a handsome little boy who will melt your heart. He is very intelligent and quickly learns. He is very playful and active and loves to play with different types of toys. Josh doesn't bark often; however, he is vocal and talks when Josh plays with other dogs. He is very food motivated, which makes him easier to train. He also loves his snuggle time. Josh would do best with another young, active, small-breed dog. Josh is mostly housebroken and sleeps through the night with no accidents. A home with a yard would be best since he is not fully vaccinated. Interested in adopting puppy Josh? The dog application is located below his photos on the right of this page. Please click the "Apply for Adoption" grey box to complete Josh's dog application. A complete dog application is required prior to adoption. You can also copy and paste the dog application link into your web browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TVAR/Dog.

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 the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, June 28th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption fee: $650Meet Firecracker — A Tiny Dog with a Big Personality!   Don’t let the name fool you— Firecracker may be just 12 lbs, but he’s bursting with charm, cuddles, and more than a little spunk. This 2 year old Maltipoo came to us from the shelter a matted mess, but thanks to a stellar grooming job, he’s now living up to his name: polished, perky, and ready to spark joy in his forever home. (Also, he's non-shedding! Great for those who have allergies or simply prefer the lack of dog fur found all over!)   From Day 1, Firecracker made himself at home—literally jumping into bed that first night and declaring himself a full-time snuggler. He wakes up bright and early (around 6am) with the pack (he's fostered with two other dogs), has breakfast, and then happily goes back to bed for a nap. On work-from-home days, he lounges near his foster mom’s feet, goes for walks, and plays with the resident dogs. When his foster is away at the office, he stays home with the pack and settles in just fine. Dinner is served between 4–6pm, and bedtime means cozying up in the human bed— right where he wants to be.   Personality-wise? Firecracker is the perfect combo of playful and cuddly. He adores his humans and wants to be near you at all times. He’s got that “Velcro dog” energy, always ready to play, explore the yard, or snuggle up. He’s pals with the two resident dogs— especially the younger one who matches his energy— and even the senior pup has shared his sacred dog bed with Firecracker (a rare honor!). He’s never shown aggression toward other dogs on walks and enjoys being part of a pack.  Firecracker LOVES walks (seriously, he practically levitates when the leash comes out), though he does pull a bit (all 12 lb of him!). He’s food-motivated, eager to please, and responds well to gentle correction. He is housetrained (he has access to potty pads because his senior foster brother uses them and he will occasionally make use of them as well, but may not need them in his forever home).   His ideal home? A dog-savvy adopter, older kids or adults, and someone who’s ready to love, train, and snuggle. He’d be great with other playful dogs or as a solo pup soaking up all the attention.   Why adopt Firecracker? Because this little guy just wants to be loved. He’s affectionate, loyal, and full of personality. Whether he’s napping under your desk or trotting beside you on a walk, he’ll remind you daily what joy looks like in dog form.   Firecracker is tiny, but his heart is HUGE—and he's ready to light up your life.                  July 4, 2025, 2:48 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption fee: $750 Meet Penguin! A little floof with a big heart who’s ready to waddle right into your life (and your lap)!   Penguin is a 3-4 year old, 11 lb Maltipoo who came to us from the shelter in rough shape— matted, smelly, and shut down. But once the clippers came out and the mats came off, this sweet boy began to transform. His coat may be shaved down for now (he says it's his summer look), but when it grows back, it’s going to be as soft and beautiful as his soul.   From the moment he stepped into his foster home, Penguin showed what a gentle, loving heart he has. He’s a classic Velcro dog—following his person from room to room, always wanting to be close. If you’re looking for a little shadow who will love you with everything he’s got, Penguin is your guy.   A Day in the Life of Penguin:   Early morning walks to kick off the day   Devouring breakfast like it's the best meal he’s ever had (every single time)   Tagging along on daily errands, cautious but curious   Lounging on the couch, preferably glued to your side   Exploring toys and practicing zoomies (he’s just discovered the joys of play!)   Evening walks and belly rubs galore   Penguin is learning that toys are fun, that belly rubs are pure magic, and that he doesn’t have to be afraid anymore. He’s gaining confidence every day—he even does a happy little spin when it’s mealtime or treat time. His favorite place in the world? Right next to you. Or ideally, touching you.   The Penguin Lowdown:   Housetrained   Working on leash skills (he’s new to it but doing great!)   Has some separation anxiety— he loves hard and worries when you leave, so continued training will help. His foster mom is currently working on building his confidence and leaving him alone for longer and longer periods of time.   Quiet— rarely barks   Friendly but initially shy with new people and big dogs   Penguin would do best in a calm home with someone who can offer lots of affection and companionship. He could live with another gentle dog or as your one-and-only, as long as he gets plenty of love. Because he’s still learning to trust the world, he’ll need a patient adopter committed to helping him continue to blossom.   Why You'll Love Penguin: His eyes say it all— this is a dog who will love you with his whole heart. His gentle nature, his sweet kisses, his sleepy little gurgles when he dreams… Penguin is the kind of dog who will make you smile every single day. He’s waited a long time to be someone’s everything. Maybe that someone is you.July 6, 2025, 12:18 pm

Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption fee: $800 Meet Spritzer—a bubbly little ray of sunshine in a fluffy white package!   At 2 years old and 16 lbs, this darling Maltese mix with a soft, non-shedding coat was rescued from a shelter and is now living the good life in her foster home— lounging, learning, playing, and spreading smiles wherever she goes.   Spritzer is the kind of dog who just makes life better. She’s sweet, affectionate (a champion kiss-giver!), and always ready for a walk, a cuddle, or a treat-fueled training session. She has the perfect mix of playful energy and chill vibes—excited for outdoor adventures but just as happy to lounge by your side while you work or relax.   Her daily routine includes morning and evening walks (which she loves), some toy time, plenty of pets, and maybe even a romp with the neighbor’s dogs. Spritzer is smart and eager to please—she already knows sit, paw, and come, and she’s working on her leash manners like a little pro. She’s fully housetrained, too!   She’s been friendly with people of all ages (including gentle kiddos) and is respectful with dogs off-leash—though on-leash she can get a little barky when she spots another pup, something her foster is helping her improve. Spritzer would thrive in a home where people are around to keep her company, take her on walks, and continue her training.   What makes Spritzer sparkle? Her sweet-as-sugar kisses, her gentle and easygoing nature, and the way her eyes light up when she knows she’s done a good job (or spots a treat).   If you’re looking for a snuggly sidekick with a heart of gold, Spritzer is ready to fizz her way into your life!    July 4, 2025, 3:10 pm

Lambie is a 10 month old, 11 lb Maltipoo with a non-shedding coat — perfect for those with allergies or anyone who simply prefers a dog that won’t leave fur on the furniture. This sweet, playful pup is all healed up and ready to start his next chapter in a forever home that will adore him as much as he adores his people. Lambie came to us in rough shape, with a skin issue and infection that needed some care — but we’ve done the work, and now he’s a healthy, happy, and thriving little guy. His coat is growing back beautifully, and so is his confidence. His foster describes him as the perfect blend of playful and chill. He enjoys a quick game of fetch in the morning, followed by a cozy nap in his x-pen. He loves people, is gentle and affectionate, and will gladly follow you around the house like your own fluffy little shadow. Though he was timid when he first arrived — uncertain about new surroundings and doorways — Lambie has come a long way. Now he struts home from walks like he owns the block, tail held high, curious and content. He’s good on leash, polite around calm small dogs, and happiest in a quieter environment without large, rowdy dogs. He’s fully crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is doing great with potty training — especially in his x-pen and crate. He still needs some supervision and reminders when he's out and about in the house, but he’s a quick learner and eager to please. Lambie’s favorite things? Greeting you like you’ve been gone for days. Playing ball. Snuggling in your lap. Just being close. This little guy is the total package — loving, resilient, and ready for a home that will continue the love and care he’s already received. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-shedding companion who’s already come through the hard part and is ready to give you his whole heart, Lambie is waiting.  July 4, 2025, 6:20 am
