Story
Hi there, I'm Swiffer, the adorable 10-week-old Maltese with a story of resilience and cuteness to share! Life might have thrown me a few challenges, but that doesn't stop me from being the typical purse dog—tiny, cute, and ready to steal your heart. When I first arrived, my fur was a bit scraggly, but with lots of love and care, it's making a stylish comeback. I'm a little yeastie but don't let that fool you—I'm on the way to becoming a fluffy ball of perfection! Being held is my absolute favorite, and if you're up for it, I might even let you dress me up in the latest puppy fashion trends. I'm sweet and a tad nervous, but who wouldn't be at my age? Life is big, and I'm just a tiny fluff trying to figure it all out. Currently, I'm a work in progress. Potty, crate, and leash training are on my to-do list, and I'm eager to learn with your patient guidance. While I'm not fully vaccinated yet, I come with a heart full of puppy love and a promise to be the most adorable addition to your family. If you're ready for a petite pup who'll blossom into a charming companion, I'm the one for you. Let's embark on this journey of growth and discovery together—adopt me, and let the cuddles and cuteness commence! #SwifferTheTinyFluff #ResilientPup #AdoptDontShop ##1862661##

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.

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 a meet and greet event on Saturday, November 18th 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: $650   Sound of Music: Captain is a 3 year old Maltese x Poodle mix who was rescued from a hoarding situation with his six siblings. These pups came to us with some of the worst matting we have ever seen in our 20+ years as a rescue, but were all loving and patient as our volunteers worked to free them of their matted coats. Captain has a non-shedding coat which makes him an option for those with allergies, or who want less hair around the house. He will require regular grooming and we will be looking for homes with a plan for coat maintenance.    Below is a note from Captain’s foster.  “Captain first came to me utterly terrified of everyone and everything, due to his not so amazing start to life. Captain has bloomed into a dog who adores kisses, love, pets, and cuddles from his people. If you kiss him on one side of his face, he turns to make sure you kiss his other cheek as well! Captain has started doing zoomies in the backyard and investigating squeaky toys as he has gained confidence.  Cap wakes up between 7-9 AM depending on the day. He goes outside right away to potty. He comes back inside and has breakfast and then spends his morning lounging in his bed area. He goes outside a few times a day in the backyard when he needs to potty. He has dinner around 5 PM and then spends the evening romping around the backyard with my resident dog. He sleeps happily through the night in his crate.  Captain has been working on his potty training and leash walking skills and is improving by leaps and bounds as the weeks go by. He is very eager to learn so his new home will have a blast working on this with him.   Captain gets along with and learns from my dog. He would do well in a home with a confident dog who can show him the ins and outs of being a dog.   Captain is a total love bug who has so much to show the world. He has so much personality as well, frequently standing on his hind legs and dancing around. He is so loving once he gets to know you and his forever home will be SO lucky to have him in their life!”   Captain is an option for those who have prior dog experience, even if that experience is less recent. He would do best in a home with another dog. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8. November 30, 2023, 12:09 pm

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: $500   F.P. Jones is a 6 year old Maltese x Yorkie mix who came to DPS when his former home was no longer able to care for him. He came to us with his sister Hermione (for all of you Riverdale fans) but we will be looking for separate homes for each of the siblings so they can continue to blossom and show us their individual personalities. He has a low-shedding coat which makes him an option for those looking for a low-shed dog, but not for those with true allergies. He will require somewhat regular grooming but also loves getting brushed once he is comfortable with you!    Below is a note from F.P. Jones' foster. 'F.P. Jones is the kind of dog that takes a bit of time to blossom and trust his people, but once you earn that trust, he is your faithful companion forever and ever. He clearly did not see much of the world before he came to our home, but he has been taking cues from our resident dogs and is growing more and more confident as each day passes. He would do very well in a home where there is a confident dog who can show him the ropes and show him how nice it can be to live in a home with nice people. F.P. Jones truly deserves all the love in the world and his forever home will be so lucky if they get the chance to take on life with him! F.P. wakes up around 7 AM and heads outside to go potty. He then has breakfast and snuggles in for a morning nap. He loves to curl up on the couch while I work, especially when there is a blanket he can snuggle under. He knows how to go outside to potty by ringing a bell, which he is great at. He is fully housetrained and does not have accidents in our house. He has dinner at 6 PM and then spends some time in the evening cuddling with us on the couch while we unwind from the day. He goes to bed at 9:30 PM.  F.P. Jones coexists happily with dogs, kids, adults, and cats. He would love to have a confident canine companion in his new home, but he would also be happy to be the sole object of his family's affection, as long as they are prepared to continue his socialization work. This dude is pretty quiet, sometimes we even forget he is sitting next to us until he gets up from his nap under a blanket! He is such a wonderful dog, and he deserves the very best at his second chance. If you are looking for a loyal and loving companion, you won't find better than F.P. Jones!'   F.P. Jones is only an option for homes that have had a dog of their own in the last five years. We will be prioritizing those homes who already own a dog. If there are any children in the home they need to be over the age of ten and respectful of dogs that are on the shy side.November 30, 2023, 12:09 pm
