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: $1000   Donatello is a 4 month old Maltipoo mix who was surrendered to our rescue with his brother, Michaelangelo. Even though they look like cotton balls, we promise that adorable puppies are under all that soft and gorgeous hair. The pair are hypoallergenic with non-shedding coats which makes them an option for those with allergies or who just want less hair in the house.   Below is a note from their foster.    “Donatello is such a smart little guy. While his brother is more go go go, he sits back and thinks before jumping into action. He is a huge cuddler and loves to curl up in our laps when he wants attention. He loves meeting new people, loves meeting dogs, and has been a total sweetie. He is what you think of when you think of a perfect puppy.    The boys wake up at 7 AM and head right outside to go potty. They come inside for breakfast and then spend some time chasing each other around the backyard and playing with their toys. They take a nap and then romp around the backyard exploring. The world is big for these little guys! They have lunch and then spend time playing inside during the heat of the afternoon, amusing us with their antics. They have dinner at 6:30 PM and then we spend more time with them, playing and cuddling until bedtime which is at 10:30   We have had a fantastic time with these boys. They show us more of their goofy personality every day, but our favorite quirk of theirs is sleeping on their backs with their legs sticking up like a dead bug after they have had a long day of play.” Donatello is only an option for those who have owned a dog in the past 5 years. Homes should be prepared to discuss their plans for grooming. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8. September 25, 2023, 3:37 pm

Story
Riley  is super sweet, cuddly, playful. Energy Level?  Low to Medium depending on play time.  Riley  goes with the flow House trained?  Semi Describe how they are on leash?  He is pretty good on leash.  Sometimes, he walks a little wonky and tangles you up with his leash. But, I am walking three dogs at one time. Describe how they are with other dogs?  He’s great with other dogs. One of mine is not the most welcoming, and I even caught them playing a few times. I think he loves other dogs and would enjoy having a playmate or just going to the dog park and playing with a Pups. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  N/a Commands they know?  He listens, but I don’t know if he knows any commands. When I called his name, he comes or stops what he’s doing. But I would say no. What are their favorite things?  Food, playing and being around people and/or other dogs. What do they need to work on?  Marking, He also howls a bit at night because I leave him downstairs by himself  How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  He seems to be fine left alone. However, I had him in a pen, so I don’t know where his curiosity would take him. But I’ve never noticed any chewing on anything or getting into things he shouldn’t supposed to be. He definitely misses us, after a while Where do they sleep?  In a pen with his carrier with a bed inside. He mainly stays inside that carrier with the bed, but I have an additional bed that he can come out and lay on. He would love to sleep with his human. What is their ideal home?  Someone that could give him attention all the time and go on him like he deserves. I know he loves going on walks and being outside. And I do believe he enjoys other dogs and playing with them. He just deserve to be spoiled. September 10, 2023, 2:11 am

Story
Adorable, young Benji just came into our foster program. He's a Maltese mix, the cutest little character - he even walks on his hind legs! He's doing very well in his foster home with house training and crate training. He gets along with other nicely behaved small dogs and enjoys his outings on leash. Benji was just neutered and microchipped and he'll be groomed once his surgery site has healed. An adopter should plan on regular grooming for this sweet boy. If you are interested in Benji an application is required. Just click the Apply For Adoption box located below Benji's photos on the right side.

Story
Miao is a very sweet girl, she looks to be a maltese/bichon mix but this is only a best guess. She doesn't shed much. She's a bit shy to start but she warms up fairly quickly. She love her daily outside walks. Kids loves her as she's so sweet, she does fine with other dogs. SF Bay Area adoption only.
