Story

Hennessy is a tender-hearted senior Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a gentle spirit and soulfulbeyes. He’s seeking a second chance after a stretch of heartbreaking challenges. Hennessy has been through a lot—but he’s never stopped being gentle, loving, and full of hope. He and another senior dog, Luna, have spent their lives together as members of a small but loving pet family that also included a kitty named Mia. But when their owner lost her apartment, the little family was forced to live in a car. Now, although their owner has secured a new job and a place to live, sadly, the pets are not allowed to join her. She reached out to us, heartbroken, hoping someone would step forward to give her beloved companions the life they deserve. Hennessy adores people and has a soft spot for cats. Now he is looking for a home full of love, cozy spots, and kind people. Most of all, he just wants to be someone’s beloved boy again. Can you give Hennessy the peaceful retirement he deserves?

Story

Meet Nettie, a tiny ray of sunshine wrapped in fur! Nettie is the definition of sweet and angelic… soft eyes, gentle manners, and a heart that melts the moment you say hello. She lives for pets, cuddles, and being the center of your world, happily soaking up all the love you have to give. Nettie enjoys leisurely, small walks where she can sniff the breeze and admire the day, then she’s perfectly content to curl up by your side. She’s calm, affectionate, and wonderfully lovable, making her a perfect companion for a cozy home. Nettie would thrive with someone who enjoys quiet moments, soft pats, and lots of attention. If you’re looking for a loyal little sweetheart to brighten your days, Nettie is ready to choose you. Here's some notes from her foster: Nettie is a sweet old gal who approaches the world with a sense of caution and curiosity. She loves to wander around the house and the outside world, slowly exploring every inch of it! She moves slowly but with soft precision, we say she’s like a deer :) She can be a bit shy but opens up after a couple of days as she builds trust. Nettie seems to be potty trained and knows to go outside! Nettie would probably do best in a house with a yard, since she is more of the type to slowly meander on walks vs. going extremely far! Nettie is very sweet and has a calming presence, and doesn’t seem to mind alone time - she just settles into her little bed and will nap until you’re back! One quirk is that she likes making her own bed too - if you give her a little blanket she will push it around until it’s a nice nest for her to curl up into :) Nettie is a lovely pup who will make a great companion to a loving family

Double Dribble 13650

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Double Dribble is a distinguished black and tan chihuahua who is adjusting well to life at Muttville – if you keep him plied with snacks, laps, and scratches, he’s as easy as pie. Well, Double Dribble is an easygoing gent most of the time, he’s very mellow and believes in going with the flow. He’s got the best kind of ears, where one is cocked a bit higher than the other, giving him a perpetually quizzical expression. Really, he’s in a constant state of trying to determine if he’s dribbled once or twice – he often can’t remember, hence the name. While not always confident about the number of dribbles, this cute chi is positive he’d be a great addition to your family. Come meet him today! Here's some notes from his foster: Double Dribble has a voracious appetite, he licks the bowl 100% clean. You won't have to worry about getting him to eat, it surely is his favorite activity! He becomes super attentive anytime I eat - makes the “cute face” to try to get some! Generally he's not too active. He mostly just likes to be in the presence of and hang out around people. Dribble likes to take frequent short naps! (thus far, wants to nap in the same room as people, or will wake up and walk over to get your attention) and generally wants to remain in the same room as me at all times. He also does not whine or complain when separated from his humans. He will just settle in for a nap when left alone. Double Dribble enjoys outdoor walks, and can walk multiple blocks (though a stroller is preferred). He is super active and super social - if he can catch the scent of other dogs, he zooms around. Otherwise, he will go for a slow, leisurely stroll. He seems calm around people/dogs/birds, though has not extensive contact thus far. He does not bark or make noise. He struggles with multiple steps - can navigate 4-5 (including at Muttville HQ). Anything beyond that, and I prefer to carry him. Dribble is Potty-trained! Will use the restroom outside. He rides calmly in the car while inside carrier. Would probably function best in a car with a human next to him giving him comfort. Once relaxed, he will even curl up and sleep.

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: $700 Meet the Hanukkah Puppies: Gelt, Latke & Dreidel Light the menorah and prepare to fall in love — these three little miracles are the Hanukkah puppies, a trio of 9–10 week old Min Pin puppies rescued from the shelter and now ready to brighten a lucky home. Each pup is just barely over 3 pounds, and they’re expected to stay nice and small. What they lack in size, they more than make up for in personality, affection, and charm. These puppies have been raised in foster care with lots of love and plenty of time with kids, and it shows. All three absolutely adore people and want nothing more than to be near you — being held, petted, cuddled, and doted on. They are playful, sweet, quiet little companions who are far more motivated by affection than food. They eat lightly, sleep soundly, and are surprisingly polite for babies, doing their best to keep their sleeping area clean and letting you know (with fidgeting or gentle noises) when it’s time to potty. Bedtime is around 8 pm, and they sleep quietly through the night. They are currently in a serious puppy “need-to-chew” phase, but they are gentle, non-bitey, and eager to please. Each puppy brings their own Hanukkah-inspired sparkle: Gelt: The golden coin of the bunch — shiny, smart, and full of zest for life. He’s the natural leader, spunky and confident. Gelt is also the easiest to potty train and the quickest to figure things out, making him a great match for someone who enjoys an engaged, energetic puppy who’s always ready to learn and lead the celebration. Latke: Warm, comforting, and impossible to resist — just like his namesake. He’s the most mellow of the three and the ultimate cuddle bug. Latke is happiest curled up in your lap, soaking in affection, though he still enjoys playful moments with his brothers. Sweet, gentle, and loving, he’s perfect for someone dreaming of a tiny dog who wants to be a constant, cozy companion. Dreidel: The bold one — strong, smart, and absolutely convinced he’s in charge of the holiday festivities. He’s the strongest of the trio and happily taking command when playtime starts. He’s also very bright and affectionate, and his confident personality will shine with a little guidance and patience. All three puppies are quiet overall, with only a small bark if they think you might be leaving without them. They do wonderfully with kids, need relatively little space due to their tiny size, and thrive on love, attention, and companionship. These Hanukkah puppies truly are little miracles — sweet, clean, affectionate, and eager to please. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart to light up your home, Gelt, Latke, or Dreidel may be the perfect match.January 6, 2026, 6:20 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption fee: $700 Meet Margarita! Margarita is a 10–11 week old Min Pin mix puppy who was rescued from the shelter at just 7 weeks of age along with her sister Paloma. Margarita has very much established herself as the bold, curious “life of the party” in the pair. If Paloma is the garnish, Margarita is definitely the main pour. Margarita starts her day around 7:00 a.m. when she and her sister wake up ready to go. Mornings are all about action: squeaky toys, ribbons, hallway zoomies, and enthusiastic sister-chasing for a couple of hours before she finally pauses for breakfast (a mix of wet food and kibble). After fueling up, Margarita settles down for a few hours of napping in her x-pen with Paloma. Lunch comes around noon, followed by several more hours of play outside the pen, more exploring, and more wrestling. She naps again in the afternoon, eats dinner at 5:00 p.m., then launches into another round of play before winding down with about an hour of cuddling. She’s tucked back into her x-pen and asleep by 8:30 p.m., having poured every last ounce of puppy energy into her day. Personality-wise, Margarita is curious, courageous, and incredibly smart. From the moment she arrived, she showed herself to be a confident explorer, and that confidence has only grown. She is highly food motivated and will happily solve puzzles, search out hidden snacks, and work through enrichment toys faster than you’d expect from such a young puppy. Margarita is often the first one out of the pen to investigate a new sound or situation, making direct eye contact with her foster human, the resident dog, or even the cat as if to say, “What’s happening, and how can I be involved?” She has a ton of energy and loves chasing her sister— and occasionally her foster human— around the house. Margarita lives with a 20 lb resident dog and is very curious about her. She’s still learning manners and currently expresses her enthusiasm by chasing and occasionally barking at the dog, 'play with me! play with me!' She’s also curious about the resident cat and will chase the cat in playful investigation mode. Everything Margarita does is driven by curiosity and excitement, and she’s learning quickly with guidance and consistency. She is an extremely playful puppy with classic Min Pin confidence and spunk. Margarita loves small squeaky toys and ribbons, enjoys wrestling with her sister, and thrives on interactive play. She’s slightly bigger than Paloma, weighing in at about 6 pounds, and uses that extra size to her advantage during playtime. She’s absorbing new skills quickly and shows great potential for training thanks to her intelligence and food motivation. And once playtime is over, Marg is ready to turn into a precious little cuddle bug, soaking up all the love she can. Margarita is too young for walks and hasn’t started leash training yet. She is currently x-pen trained and is working on potty pad training. Like most puppies, she is teething and can be a bit mouthy first thing in the morning, but she redirects easily to appropriate toys. The ideal home for Margarita is one with someone who has the time, patience, and sense of humor to guide her through puppyhood. She is eager to learn, loves engagement, and will thrive with consistent training, enrichment, and plenty of outlets for her energy and curiosity. What really sets Margarita apart is her fearless curiosity and growing confidence. Add in her expressive face, sharp mind, and love of food puzzles, and you have a puppy who is both entertaining and incredibly endearing. Margarita is a sweet pea with a big personality— shaken, not stirred— and she’s ready to bring a little extra zest, joy, and puppy energy into her future home.January 12, 2026, 3:09 pm
