Story
* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.Adoption fee: $650 Cupcake: Sweet, Spicy, and Looking for Her Person   Cupcake's story started with heartbreak. When DPS volunteers first met her at the shelter, she barely looked like a dog. Hidden beneath layers of severe matting, dreadlocks, and neglect was a tiny 12-pound Morkie who had clearly been through a lot. Once she was finally shaved down, groomers discovered painful wounds hidden underneath her coat, including a significant sore on her front leg that has taken time to heal.   Despite everything she's endured, Cupcake's personality shines through every day.   At 7 years old, Cupcake is equal parts playful, snuggly, bossy, funny, and determined. She absolutely loves playing fetch with her stuffed toys and is always ready for a spirited game of tug-of-war. She enjoys curling up next to her people, sleeping in bed (where she takes her role as a bed hog very seriously), and soaking up attention whenever it's available. Her adorable baby Yoda ears are impossible to resist, and she especially loves having them scratched. She's a great cuddler and always brings a smile to her foster's face.   Most of the time, Cupcake is a happy little dog who enjoys being part of the action. She has done well meeting visitors and gets along wonderfully with the three resident dogs in her foster home. She's perfectly content staying home alone and doesn't spend her time looking for trouble. She saves her barking mostly for important announcements, like reminding you dinner is late, requesting a spot on the couch, or letting you know that your food should probably be shared with her.   Cupcake does come with some important considerations.   Because of her painful wound and likely difficult past experiences, she can be defensive when she feels uncomfortable or vulnerable. While much of this behavior appears related to pain and wound guarding, Cupcake has also shown that she isn't afraid to express her opinions when things don't go her way. She is not a dog who will tolerate being pushed, restrained, or handled without respect for her boundaries.   For that reason, Cupcake needs an experienced adult-only home with people who understand dog body language and are comfortable working with a dog who has some emotional baggage.   The right adopter for Cupcake will see beyond her rough edges and recognize the resilient little dog underneath. She has likely spent years learning that the world wasn't always kind to her. Now she needs someone willing to show her that life can be different.   Cupcake isn't a perfect dog. She's a real dog— with quirks, opinions, scars, and a whole lot of personality. For the right person, that combination may make her all the more special. June 29, 2026, 11:30 am

Story
* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.Adoption fee: $650 Meet Gosling & Reynolds: The Ryan Puppies!   If your idea of happiness includes puppy zoomies, endless entertainment, and a whole lot of laughter, then Gosling and Reynolds are ready to steal your heart. These adorable 10-12 week old, 8 lb pups may be brothers, but each has his own unique charm—and both are guaranteed to bring joy wherever they go.   Puppy Life is the Best Life   Like any growing puppies, Gosling and Reynolds spend their days mastering the fine art of play, nap, eat, repeat. Their mornings begin around 8:00 a.m., followed by breakfast, wrestling matches, toy adventures, and plenty of puppy shenanigans before settling down for well-earned naps. Throughout the day they alternate between energetic play sessions and snooze breaks, finally calling it a night around 11:00 p.m.   Both puppies are currently using potty pads consistently and are off to a great start with their puppy manners. They're smart little guys who are already showing how quickly they learn.   Gosling: The Bouncy Charmer   Gosling is a happy-go-lucky puppy whose favorite hobbies include wrestling, playing with toys, and making every day feel like a party. He approaches life with enthusiasm and confidence, and he was comfortable in his foster home almost immediately.   While playtime is definitely his first love, Gosling has a sweet side too. Every now and then he'll wander over for a head scratch or ear rub before bouncing back off to whatever fun activity is happening nearby. When he runs, he practically springs through the air like he's on a tiny trampoline, making him endlessly entertaining to watch.   Gosling's adorable tuxedo markings, white socks, and super-soft non-shedding coat make him as handsome as he is lovable. His coat will likely require regular grooming as he grows, but it's well worth the effort for such a cuddly companion.   One of his foster family's favorite things? Watching him sleep flat on his back with all four paws sticking straight up in the air.   Reynolds: The Curious Explorer   Reynolds brings all the puppy energy of his brother, but with an extra dose of curiosity and brains. He's the observer of the duo—the puppy who pauses during playtime to carefully inspect his surroundings and figure out how everything works.   He's incredibly clever and learns quickly. In fact, both boys learned 'sit' after only a handful of repetitions, but Reynolds tends to be a little more consistent about showing off his new skills. He's also impressively athletic and agile. His foster family quickly learned that standard puppy pens were merely suggestions to Reynolds, who successfully climbed his way out more than once.   Despite his adventurous nature, Reynolds also enjoys checking in with his people. He likes knowing where his humans are and will happily hop into a lap for pets before heading back to his next adventure.   Social Butterflies   Both puppies are friendly, playful, and eager to engage with the world around them. They currently live with a small resident dog and would love a canine playmate of their own, though they don't require one. They have met a teenager and have shown typical puppy behavior, including playful nipping and lots of excitement.   Because they're still young puppies, they are teething and enjoy chewing on toys (and occasionally things that aren't toys if left unattended). As with any puppy, they'll thrive with positive training, structure, and plenty of appropriate outlets for their energy.   Looking for Their Forever Families   These boys are incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of personality. They are at the perfect age to continue learning and growing with their future families. Whether you're looking for a playful hiking buddy, a loyal companion, or simply a daily source of laughter, either Gosling or Reynolds could be the perfect fit.   While they've loved having each other as playmates, they are being adopted separately and are ready to form special bonds with families of their very own.   If you're ready to add a little extra fun, laughter, and puppy love to your life, come meet Gosling or Reynolds—you may just find your new best friend.   June 29, 2026, 11:30 am

NAME: MALBU GENDER: MALE BREED: MALTESE COLOR: WHITE AGE: 3 YEARS OLD WEIGHT: 12lbs SPAY OR NEUTER: Yes MICROCHIP: Yes If you would like to give MALBU by a forever home, please go to www.adoptadoggie.org to fill out an online application. Please email your home photos to contact@adoptadoggie.org Malbu is a playful and happy boy. He loves everyone he meets and does well with other dogs. Malbu has a rough start in life. However, it doesn’t stop him from loving and trusting humans. He is doing well in his foster home and ready for a forever home. Malbu started some leash training and is learning at a good pace. He is crate-trained and doing well on his house training. Malbu loves his trips to the doggie park and enjoys his daily walks. Malbu is a loving boy and will be a good family dog. Malbu’s Rescue Story Malbu was caught by a volunteer of a TNR (Trap / Neuter / Return) rescue group. TNR rescue groups specialize in getting stray animals spayed and neutered and the animals are returned to their original location to live as homeless dogs and cats. TNR programs help with the overpopulation of unwanted animals. The volunteer caring for him loves him and didn’t want to see him back on the streets. The volunteer reached out to an experienced international rescue organization to save him and some other puppies that are still too young to be released back to the streets. The founder of the rescue organization has over 160 dogs waiting for homes. She really does not have space for another dog. However, she could not bear to see them suffering on the streets. She agreed to take them home and give them a chance in life. Malbu along with his 40 other buddies were all rescued and live together waiting for their own forever homes. Malbu had a thorough medical checkup. He had been neutered, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on his blood tests. Please give Malbu a loving home where he will never be left behind again.

Malba’s Rescue Story Malba & Malbi were rescued from a poorly run private shelter. The shelter has over 2,000 dogs living in cramped and wet environment. Malba along with her other friends were used as breeding dogs. After they were done with them, they were sent to a private shelter where they lived in cages and never let out.
