Story
Looks like: Maltese Male, 12 years old (estimated), 15 pounds Meet Casper the friendly dog! This sweet and handsome pup is much like his namesake, just looking for a friend who wants to play! Casper adores head rubs and loves a good pet before naps, and plenty of cuddling from his favorite human! This boy loves the fresh air and looks forward to his daily walks. In fact in anticipation of a walk, you may even be treated to a display of his signature zoomies! Casper is a great walker on leash and loves meeting other doggy friends when out and about. He does well with children and gets along well with cats. Casper has a calm, quiet temperament and is not known to bark. He enjoys morning and afternoon naps and is good when left alone whilst we are running errands. Casper is a perfect well behaved house guest (and maybe future roomate)! Cutie Casper came to POMDR because his loving guardian moved and sadly could not take him with them. This adorable boy will need a soft landing place where he can trust that he is safe and loved.

Story
Looks like: Dachshund, Maltese mix Female, 9 years old (estimated), 12 pounds Sweet, mellow Violet is just looking for a quiet retirement home where she can lay her head. Violet landed at a busy shelter in the Sacramento area, matted beyond belief and so scared. We're happy to have her join us here at POMDR for a soft transition before finding her forever family. Could that be you? Violet gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children! She might have a little vision loss, but still gets around well. She enjoys lounging in a warm dog bed and being by her person's side. We think she would make a great addition to any calm and loving home. Violet joined us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter. As a rescue specializing in senior dogs, we are happy to help her find her forever home!

Story
We have a sweet and affectionate Maltese named Sammy, who is about 5 years old. We got him from a breeder, and he has been a loving part of our family ever since. Sammy is gentle, friendly, and thrives on attention—he loves being close to people and is happiest when he's cuddled up by your side. Unfortunately, we’re moving to a new home that does not allow pets, and we are heartbroken to have to rehome him. We're looking for a kind, stable home where he’ll be loved as much as we’ve loved him—ideally with someone who can give him plenty of time, affection, and companionship. Sammy is truly a wonderful dog—loving, loyal, playful, and well-mannered—and we hope to find a home that will cherish him the way he deserves.

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: $650   Meet Duncan – the silver fox of your dreams, freshly groomed and ready to dazzle!   Duncan is a 9 year old Maltese-Poodle mix who just got a fresh shave so his signature luscious, long locks can grow back in all their glory. Don’t let the short 'do fool you—it’s temporary, and underneath it all is a future fluffy superstar. As a non-shedding dog, Duncan is a great option for allergy-sensitive households. And with Malti-Poos often living well into their late teens (16, 17, even 18!), Duncan is just hitting his stride in midlife—think cruise control with occasional bursts of puppy playfulness.   Duncan came to us when another rescue was out of space, and he trotted right into our arms like he knew he’d found his people. At 12 pounds, he’s the perfect size for lap lounging, couch cuddling, and light adventuring. He’s a happy little guy with a spring in his step and a heart full of love. His favorite things? Following you around the house, sunbathing in the backyard, and curling up for a TV marathon with his humans. He’s a fabulous work-from-home buddy who’s just as content chilling quietly as he is heading out for a walk or a romp with a doggy friend.   Duncan has an easygoing daily rhythm—snoozing in until 8am, greeting the morning with tail wags, and heading out for potty time before breakfast. He spends the day lounging near his people, collecting snuggles, enjoying a few tasty treats, and sneaking in an afternoon stroll or backyard sun session. By evening, he’s a certified lap warmer, winding down with you until it’s time to head off to bed.   He’s crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and has lived happily with other dogs. Duncan is a perfect match for just about any home—first-time dog families or seasoned pet parents alike. Kids should be 5 or older to ensure everyone respects his chill vibe.   If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion with just the right amount of pep, Duncan is ready to be your loyal sidekick. He may be nine, but he’s living proof that midlife is when the magic really begins. Come meet your next best friend—Duncan’s waiting!  April 23, 2025, 3:47 am

Story
Poor Mochi was neglected severely matted and very dirty at a distant shelter. Shelter had him shaved down by a kind groomer who donated her service. ð&#194&#159&#194&#146&#194&#156ð&#194&#159&#194&#152&#194&#141 He did get a nick on his tail from shave down. Needed a bandage on his tail. He was badly matted to his skin. Now he feels so much better. Happy and lovable. Mochi has been great with the foster home's 2 dogs cuddly polite friendly and very sweet. He is an absolute love very sweet snuggly polite and affectionate. Mochi loves his healthy foods and cuddling with foster mom. He will rest learn and get healthy and then will get his neuter surgery. More info. to come. Update: Mochi needs a new experienced foster home. He did great at his first temporary foster home with their two dogs. Loved cuddling lounging and quiet home with yard. Now that is feeling better and comfortable... They have biz travels so he was moved to a foster home monday evening in San Francisco with another dog. City life is too noisy and busy for him. High foot traffic on walks. Too much for him while he is adjusting and learning. At first foster home in San Jose with quiet neighborhood and backyard he was calmer and relaxed. Need experienced foster home to guide and train him on walks to not do reactive barking at new dogs. He loves to cuddle and very sweet. Good with her dog at home. 3/30/25 Update: Mochi is now doing better with his SF foster home. Learning. Now house-trained. He is very social and friendly with people and likes playing with other small dogs that he meets. Good with gentle and dog saavy older kids. On walks he is still learning and may do reactive barking at large dogs so he needs a confident and experience handler to train him not to bark at other large dogs on walks. He did reactive barking at his first dog showcase. He needs continued training to not react and ignore as needed or it can get worse if over coddled and not trained. Mochi likes playing with toys and chewing on his bully stick. He would love a home with another dog playmate. He plays and snuggles with foster home's dog.April 18, 2025, 12:29 am
