Story

**Meet Ora Saturday, December 13th from 10 to 1 at Dublin Petsmart west, 6960 Amador Plaza Rd.** Meet Ora, a nine pound, little bundle of fluff and energy. Ora loves to play and explore all day. She can jump quite high and stand on her hind legs. With training, she will be able to do some cute tricks. Ora is very friendly with another small dog and rabbit at her foster house. She loves to wrestle, chase and play tug with the dog. She is curious and gentle with the bunny. Ora’s favorite is people. She loves to be held. She follows her foster mom everywhere. She is eager to greet all guests. So far, without barking. Ora doesn’t love the crate but she will travel and sleep in it quietly (except for her snoring). She seems to have bladder control for about 4-5 hours so she has been mostly sleeping in a larger crate with both a bed and a pee pad. During the day, Ora is learning to potty outside. She also uses pee pads pretty well inside. Ora loves to be groomed. She will lie down patiently while her coat is combed out. Something that needs to be done frequently. She is a friendly, playful, curious puppy who will make a wonderful addition to a home willing to put in the time. She is spayed, current on vaccines and microchipped. If you're interested in Ora, you can submit an application by clicking the "Apply For Adoption" box located below her photos on the right side.

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 the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, December 13th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption Fee: $550 **Kitten is available for Foster-to-Adopt!** Breed: Maltese–Shih Tzu mix Age: 5 years old Weight: 11.6 lbs Coat: Non-shedding Her name may be Kitten, but this 5 year old Maltese–Shih Tzu mix is 100% dog—adorably fluffy, quietly loyal, and full of surprising little joys. She was rescued from the shelter, and after a slow, careful start, she’s been blossoming into the kind of dog who makes your heart swell with every small step forward. Kitten is a gentle soul who takes her time to trust, but once she does, she becomes a loyal little shadow—especially to her favorite humans. In her current foster home, she’s built a sweet and special bond with her 10-year-old human buddy, and the two have become a devoted fetch-playing duo. She’s also warming up to younger kids and has begun seeking pets and connection on her own terms. With the people she trusts, she is affectionate, playful, and full of personality. Her daily routine is peaceful and predictable—just how she likes it. She wakes up early and heads outside for a potty break, enjoys some morning playtime, then settles into her crate for a long nap. Mealtimes are relaxed, and she has plenty of quiet time in between spurts of play and affection. Evenings are her favorite, when she gets the zoomies and enthusiastically chases toys with her favorite girl. Kitten is house-trained, sleeps calmly in her crate, and communicates when she needs to go outside. She’s playful but not demanding, cuddly but not clingy. She’s still learning to feel safe around new people and visitors, and while she’s made great strides, she’ll always do best in a calm home where her people understand that some dogs need time to feel safe. While she’s making progress around other dogs (and can ignore them on leash in the yard), she’s not comfortable sharing her space with them and is protective of her pen. Kitten must be the only pet in her home. With professional support and time, she may eventually feel more neutral around dogs, but right now she needs a home where she can feel completely secure and not have to share her space or her people. Kitten’s ideal home is quiet, structured, and patient. She doesn’t need a lot—just someone who can offer routine, security, and a lot of love on her terms. She’s not a dog for someone expecting instant affection, but for the right person, she’s a deeply rewarding companion who offers a special kind of devotion. If you’re someone who finds beauty in the quiet moments, and joy in the slow unfolding of trust, Kitten may be the perfect match. She doesn’t need fireworks. She just needs someone to see her, to give her the space she needs, and to celebrate each step she takes toward love. December 12, 2025, 3:44 am

Meet Top Hat — The Little Gentleman With Big Potential Age: 2 years old Breed: Maltipoo Weight: 12 lbs Coat: Nonshedding Good with dogs: Absolutely! Top Hat may be small, fluffy, and adorable, but let us be perfectly clear: This charming Maltipoo needs a home where humans run the show, not him. Who Top Hat Really Is Top Hat is a smart, sensitive little guy who absolutely thrives when he knows someone else is confidently calling the shots. When he first came to us, he was wound tight—fearful, reactive, unsure who to trust. But with structure, leadership, and consistency, this dog transformed. He now looks to his person for direction. He listens. He relaxes. He wants to please. Give him rules, and he blossoms. Let him be in charge… and he’ll book a one-way ticket to Chaosville. His Secret Sauce? A Trainer Who Cracked the Code. Our amazing trainer quickly figured out exactly what Top Hat needs: Calm but confident leadership Clear direction Quick corrections when needed Lots of praise when he gets it right She has taught him to accept handling, ignore his reactive impulses, and focus on his person. He is incredibly receptive and wants desperately to be a good boy — he just needs someone to show him how. We are so committed to his success that we will waive his adoption fee if the adopter signs up for a minimum of 4 sessions with his current trainer. She’ll teach you his language and set both of you up for a lifetime of success. Who He Needs Top Hat needs an adopter who:Isn’t intimidated by a dog with opinionsCan follow a trainer’s guidanceHas experience or is willing to learnWill commit to structure, routine, and clear rulesIs confident, calm, and consistent He is NOT a dog for someone who wants to spoil him, coddle him, or let him “just be cute.” He is not a decorative accessory. He is a dog with tremendous potential — the right owner will see him become the affectionate, funny, loyal little companion he’s meant to be. Who He Is When He Feels Safe With leadership and boundaries, Top Hat is:SweetLovingPlayfulDog-friendlyAttentiveA total goofball with the people he trusts A truly magical dog has emerged now that he finally feels safe.
