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: $200 (We have had a wonderful sponsor who is willing to pay the rest of her adoption fee, so that it could be reduced)   Miss White is a 10 year old, 13-pound, Maltese mix who was surrendered to DPS when her former home decided they no longer wanted to care for her. This gal is looking for a home where she can live out her golden years in style and comfort and promises to provide humor and snuggles in return! Miss White has a non-shedding coat which makes her an option for those with allergies. Miss White has a heart murmur which has been diagnosed by our vet. She is not on medication at this time for the murmur, as our vet did not feel medication would be beneficial for her at the present, but it is something her adopters will need to monitor with their vet.   Miss White is a golden gal looking for her golden forever home! This senior would never let you think she’s 10 years old. While she is very low-key and laid back, she lives her life with enjoyment and bliss. Miss White loves meeting new people and has the ability to instantly settle in to any new environment. She is an amazing companion with the sweetest little personality contained in a beautiful little body. Miss White has a fun-loving spirit and a lot of pep left in her silvery steps. She enjoys her car rides and her daily walks in the neighborhood, greeting all her subjects with a smile. Miss White is the perfect mix of playful and couch potato with her wagging tail and bright smile.  Miss White starts her day at 7 AM with a big stretch and a potty outside. She trots inside for breakfast and then settles in on her daybed to snuggle the workday away. She is the ideal WFH buddy as her dream workday is treats, sleeps, and repeat. Throughout the day, she takes herself outside into the yard as needed, both for potty trips and to stretch her legs. She keeps the yard critters in check! Miss White has dinner at 6 PM and goes into the yard for some more sniffs and light playtime before she gets a long cuddle session on the couch between 7-10 PM. She goes out for one last potty session at 11 and then heads to her dog bed for a long slumber. Miss White gets along fabulously with other dogs and could be a great older sibling. She would prefer no loud puppies though, as they disrupt her important naps. She is a breeze to walk and is fully house trained. What more could you ask for? Miss White just wants a home ready to let her lounge and do some chill adventuring. With a face like hers, and the personality to match, what are you waiting for?    Miss White is an option for any home. For those with an open heart towards our gray-muzzled friends, she will be a loyal and loving companion. Kids in a home should be in their teens.April 23, 2024, 3:47 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   Louie is an 8 month old Maltese mix who is looking for his Musketeers! Louie came from the shelter with his two companions and was extremely ready to escape the confines of the kennel. After a good groom, Louie emerged from his matted coat. Louie has a non-shedding coat which will make him an option for those with allergies, or who want less hair around the house. Louie will require regular grooming.    Below is a note from Louie’s foster.  “Louie is a sweet, sensitive boy who is blossoming as he discovers the world around him. On his first days in his foster home, he was so terrified that we could barely touch him without him running to hide. In the days following, we started seeing his silly and curious side as he took his cues from our resident dogs. Now, he loves to follow us around and ask for pets. It has been so lovely to watch him bloom in our home as he has gained his confidence and we know his lucky forever home will have a blast with him.  Louie wakes up and goes outside for a potty around 7 AM. He comes inside for breakfast and then settles down for a luxurious morning nap next to his foster siblings. He goes out a few times throughout the day to get his zoomies out, but mostly sits quietly with his toys or naps next to us as we work. Louie has dinner at 6 PM and then enjoys some couch snuggles in the evening as we unwind from the day. He goes outside for one last potty at 10 PM and then curls up in his dog bed for the night.  Louie lives with multiple dogs and cats in his forever home and gets along with them all! He needs a slow introduction to people as he is quite fearful of new people, but if you are willing to put in the work, the effort is worth it! Louie is still working on leash introductions and will need a patient home ready to show him the ropes.  Louie is the kind of dog that will be so worth the effort and time he needs to settle in. When he is set up for success, he will adapt and integrate into his environment. Louie takes his cues from his foster siblings, so he will need a confident dog in his new home.”    Louie is only an option for homes who have prior dog experience, with shy dog experience prioritized. Louie would prefer a calmer environment, so no kids under the age of 15.April 23, 2024, 3:47 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $500   Gelato is a 9 year old Maltese mix who is serving up scoops of fluffy cuteness! Gelato is a petite older gal who was surrendered with her friend, Froyo, after her former owner passed away and there was nobody to take her in. We promised her we would find her the best home for her Golden years and after a groom and a visit to the dentist, she is ready for action! Gelato has a gorgeous non-shedding coat and is an option for homes with allergies, as long as they are prepared for the grooming requirements of the breed.  Gelato is a curious and loving gal who has a laid back and gentle demeanor. She is an ideal dog for a home who is looking for either a companion for a resident dog or a lap dog cuddler. She adores her people above all else, even treats, once she gets to know and love you and is known to do a happy dance when her foster returns home from work. Gelato is what we call a butterfly dog: it can take her a bit of time to come out of her cocoon, but once she does she spreads her wings and flies!  Gelato has been working on her leash walking skills and has discovered how many smells are in the neighborhood to check out! She gets two walks a day and does a happy little wiggle when the leash comes out.  Gelato sleeps happily in her crate through the night and is happy to spend time lounging throughout the day. She eats twice a day and enjoys treats throughout the day (it’s hard to say no when the puppy dog eyes are so cute). When Gelato’s foster family is out, she settles down quickly and naps until they return. As she has grown more confident, she has learned that snuggling in a warm lap is the best way to soak up pets and affection!  Gelato would be a great option to join a home with a current dog, as she truly gains her confidence when she can mirror another dog. Gelato would do better in a home where things are on the calmer side, as she deserves a restful life after all she has been through.  Gelato is an option for homes who have prior dog experience, ideally with a dog currently in the home. Kids in the home should be over the age of 12.April 23, 2024, 3:47 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $700   Huey is an 8 month old Maltese x Poodle (Maltipoo) who can’t wait to find his new band of Musketeers! Huey was surrendered to the shelter with his pals after his former home was no longer able to care for them. Huey was very shy and matted when we took him into our rescue, and we knew he just needed some TLC to show us his awesome self. Huey has been building his confidence and is now ready for his next chapter. Huey has a coat that will require grooming but he won’t be an option for those with allergies. He is an option for those looking for a bestie though!   Below is a note from Huey’s foster.  “Huey is a sweet and loving boy who is just an amazing and wonderful buddy! Huey arrived very scared from the shelter and spent a week or so getting acclimated to our house. Now, he loves to quietly cuddle with me, laying with his head in my lap. He loves to be near me and our resident dogs, following me around the house as I go about my day. Huey is a true couch potato type of dog, happy to spend his day lounging on the couch and rolling over when he thinks he can get some pets. Huey has a hilarious hobby where he takes toys and socks and makes a little pile to cuddle on with his prizes. Huey is such a love and has been a fabulous temporary addition to our home.  Huey starts his day with breakfast at 7 AM before going outside for a potty break. During the day, he hangs out on the couch with my resident dogs, laying on a soft blanket and snoozing the day away. He spends some of his day outside, soaking up the sunshine and exploring his surroundings. He gets a walk in the afternoon when the weather allows, and is curiously learning from our dogs. He gets dinner at 6 PM and then cuddles up on the couch for the rest of the night.  Huey gets along very well with our dogs and would do well with a canine companion in his new home. He is mostly house trained and crate trained. Huey had never experienced a leash before he came to us, so we have been working on his leash walking skills as he gains his confidence. Huey is such a mellow guy, he will make your life complete!”   Huey is an option for a variety of homes, regardless of prior experience. While he would enjoy a canine companion in his new home, he could also be a solo pup. Kids in the home should be over the age of 10.April 23, 2024, 3:47 pm
