All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption.Adoption fee: $800 Meet Eclair — A Gentle Soul Learning to Trust   Quick Highlights: 1–2 years old Great with calm, respectful dogs Cat-friendly (very respectful!) Low–medium energy, loves lounging Blanket lover & cozy girl Learning to love walks     Eclair is a soft, sensitive little Maltipoo who came from a hoarding situation and is now discovering that the world can be safe, kind, and full of love.   When she first arrived, she was shut down— but with patience and gentle care, she has started to blossom in the most beautiful ways. She’ll quietly approach for pets, pause, and come back for more— choosing connection in her own time.       Personality   Eclair is is gentle and observant girl who is quietly affectionate in her own way. She's definitely curious about people and responds best to calm energy. She can be startled easily but is becoming braver by the day. Her foster dad has become her favorite human and seeing her approach him for pets or attention is adorable.     Daily Life   Eclair is making so much progress! She now recognizes that the leash = walks (she may hesitate, but she’s learning and curious!) and enjoys slow, calm walks as she is still gaining confidence outside. She loves lounging near her people (and watching TV!) and uses potty pads reliably and is working on outdoor potty skills (when on leash, as she does not have yard access.) She currently lives with another calm dog and appreciates the companionship. Another dog in her forever home isn't a must, but would be a plus.   Why Eclair?   She may not run up to you right away— but when she chooses you, it’s everything.   Eclair is the kind of dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds. Watching her grow in confidence, trust, and love is incredibly special— and her future family will get to be part of that journey.        May 9, 2026, 11:12 am

All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption.Adoption fee: $800 Meet Kindred   Kindred is a 10–12 month old, 14 lb Maltipoo with a non-shedding coat who was rescued from the shelter and is now ready to find a loving forever home. She is very much still a puppy at heart— playful, energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. While she can be a little timid at first, her sweet nature shines through quickly, and it becomes clear that she simply wants to be close to her people and feel safe and loved.   Daily Routine   Kindred starts her day by heading straight outside, where she proudly shows off her excellent potty manners. She is perfectly housetrained and understands the routine well. After her morning potty break, she enjoys breakfast. She can be a bit of a picky eater, so her foster sometimes mixes in tasty additions like rice, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, or bone broth to encourage her to eat.   After breakfast, she relaxes for a short while before her puppy energy kicks in. Once she gets going, she is ready to play, run, and interact with everyone around her. She enjoys a daily walk of about 20 to 30 minutes and spends the rest of the day bouncing between playtime, exploring, and hanging out with her people. In the evening, after dinner and more fun, Kindred winds down and settles into her kennel around 10 pm, where she sleeps soundly through the night.   Personality   Kindred is a playful, energetic young dog who truly loves being part of the action. She enjoys running around, playing, and greeting her people with enthusiastic energy. Like many puppies her age, she can get excited and may use her mouth during play, but she responds well to guidance and is still learning her manners as she grows.   She is also very affectionate and enjoys being close to her people. She tends to stay right in your personal space and likes to be involved in whatever is going on. Once she feels comfortable, her loving and silly personality really comes out. Despite her playful nature, she can be timid in new situations and may feel nervous around unfamiliar people, especially on walks. With patience and reassurance, she continues to build confidence.   Social Life   Kindred loves people and wants attention and affection, even if she sometimes feels unsure at first. She may bark occasionally when startled or when someone new enters the home, but she is not a constant barker. Her reactions are usually tied to feeling nervous rather than being vocal. She enjoys interaction and would benefit from continued positive experiences that help her feel more secure in the world around her.   Training and Manners   Kindred is perfectly potty trained and does very well with her routine. She sleeps in her kennel at night and settles nicely once it is time for bed. On walks, she can be timid and may feel nervous around new people or unfamiliar environments. She may chew when bored or during this teething phase, so appropriate toys and supervision will help guide her as she matures.     Favorite Thing About Kindred   One of the most endearing things about Kindred is her joyful, slightly clumsy enthusiasm. She loves to run outside and then race back into the house at full speed, sometimes launching herself right into her people as if she simply cannot contain her excitement to be near them. It is a funny and affectionate reminder of just how much she loves being part of the family.May 9, 2026, 11:12 am

Story
Buddy and Pocco are two loving male pets, ages 9 and 3 years old, with very gentle and affectionate personalities. Because I have a busy schedule, I am looking for a new home where they will receive the time, care, patience, and attention they deserve. They are sweet, playful, loyal, and wonderful companions who enjoy being around people. My hope is to find a safe, happy, and loving home where they will be treated as part of the family.
