Story
This is what Niner's foster had to say about him:"He is a super fast runner and top notch walker! He rode well in the car, very excited about looking out the window. At one point he flew around me in tight circles, just overcome with joy. We walked about 3 miles and he never got tired. He didn't seem to have much of a reaction to other dogs we saw, just a few barks, then eagerly back to the task at hand - walking! At first he didn't seem too interested in me, but after we got back to the car, he hopped into my lap for a long cuddle session. Niner would make an ideal companion for someone who already walks daily or is interested in having an enthusiastic exercise partner. Niner is a happy, well adjusted little guy who generated a lot of interest from other park visitors, eliciting smiles and comments about how cute he is. What a dear little guy!"

Story
Hi! I’m Belle and I am the most blessed dog. I was dropped off to get euthanized due to my vision impairment and the most wonderful people at the shelter decided that I was still worthy of being someone’s pet because I had so much love to give. I am 11 years young, 27 lbs, and I’m searching for a partner who enjoys a good snuggle, has a cozy lap, and loves morning walks. I enjoy laying in the sun, chasing balls, and snoozing away while you work. And I happily receive my eye drops that come with treats. Might you be curious about meeting me?

Story
Miniature Pinscher / Terrier Mix Age: 5-6 yrs old Male, neutered 16 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Murphy was found abandoned on the streets of Newark. He was in pretty bad shape - neglected, possibly abused, skin issues, matted fur, etc. At the shelter he was shutdown, fearful, untrusting. The Tri-City Fremont Shelter reached out to us for help. Murphy is an interesting / complex little guy. He is constantly seeking attention from humans (any human that will pet him). At the same time, he will occasionally give signals that would make someone think that he doesn’t want attention. He walks well on a leash. He is unsure about some types of handling, but our experienced foster home has been able to put a harness on him, pick him up, bath him, etc. But it takes time for him to trust someone before he is comfortable. He does well with other dogs, and he has been in a foster home with cats, birds, chickens, reptiles. Even though his appearance screams “Yorkie” or “Norfolk Terrier,” his DNA results show mostly Miniature Pinscher and Jack Russell Terrier. We have no idea where his long silky fur came from. Murphy needs a forever home that will give him the time and patience to continue learning to trust humans again. He needs an experienced, confident adopter that can read his mood and interact with him accordingly. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13, However, in Murphy’s case - an adult home 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, April 6th at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express from 12-3pm, unless he/she is set up and adopted prior to the event. 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: $300  Rutabaga is a 7 year old Miniature Pinscher mix who was surrendered to us when her family was moving and was no longer able to take care of her. Rutabaga is the kind of dog that takes a bit of time to warm up to you but then she is your one and only forever. If you are looking for an older (golden) gal who still has a TON of love to show the world, Rutabaga is your girl.  Below is a note from Rutabaga's foster. 'Rutabaga is the kind of dog that takes a few days to come out of her shell but once she has, she is the biggest snuggler and cuddler I have ever met. She follows me absolutely everywhere (but she isn't clingy). When I have to work she is happy to sit on her bed and play with a toy, but her ideal spot is sitting on my lap and having me pet her for hours. The funniest thing we discovered is that she is more likely to want attention when we are giving it to someone else, then she is like 'me me me!' Rutabaga wakes up around 7 AM and heads out for a 15 minute potty walk. She has breakfast and then spends some of her morning lounging around while I get some work done. She gets another walk in the middle of the day before another nap. She gets a long walk in the evening before having dinner and settling down for the evening. Rutabaga has gotten along well with big and small dogs alike. I don't think she thinks she is as small as she is, because she has that fearless big dog energy that only small dogs seem to emulate. Rutabaga likes a walk but she is totally a couch potato dog when we let her hang out on the couch.  My favorite thing about Rutabaga is when she wants attention she will stand on her back two legs to try and show off, but then she loses her balance and sometimes ends up toppling over onto a soft bed nearby.'   Rutabaga is only an option for those who have owned a dog in the past 5 years, with emphasis placed on those applications who have experience with shy dogs. Kids in the home should be over the age of 10 and on the quieter side, as she is a smaller gal who needs a bit of time to warm up to new people and loud kids could freak her out. April 18, 2024, 12:48 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $550 Duke is a 4 year old Min Pin mix who was rescued from one of our local shelter partners. Those who know the Min Pin breed will recognize the personality just bursting out of Duke, even from his pictures! Like his name suggests, this royal pup knows how cute he is and he struts his stuff to show it! Below is a note from Duke’s foster.  “Duke is a very smart and curious pup. He loves to cuddle and he loves to play. He adores his squeaky toys and can keep himself occupied for hours if I am working and can’t toss his toys for him. He loves to roll around in his dog bed. He is such a goofy dog with so much personality, even though he is very small.  Duke wakes up around 8 AM and gets his morning walk and potty break. He comes inside for breakfast and then snuggles in for a morning nap. He gets another potty break around noon and likes to hang out and play with his toys throughout the afternoon. In the evening, he gets a longer walk and has dinner before watching TV with us. Bedtime is at 10 PM and he sleeps in his crate. Duke has not had any accidents with us. Duke is learning his leash manners with other dogs on walks. He gets very excited when he sees other dogs outside but takes corrections well. He could live with another dog, but he would love to soak up solo love from his forever home. He loves all the adults and kids he has met. He is going to be such a good companion for his lucky new family.” Duke is only an option for those homes who have owned a dog previously. Children in the home should be over the age of 15.April 18, 2024, 12:48 pm

Adoption Fee: $600   Coco is a 4 month old Miniature Pinscher x Chihuahua mix who will go coco-nuts with love for her new family! This little girl was surrendered to our rescue after her former home was no longer able to care for her. Well, we knew this designer dog deserved the best home full of treats and a closet of outfits, and that’s what we promised her! Now that Coco is ready for adoption, she can’t wait to channel her adorable energy into a forever home! Coco will remain under 12 pounds when fully grown, making her the perfect addition to any household!    Coco is a lovergirl! Coco adores her people and is happy to sit by your feet or next to you on the couch. As long as you are there, so is Coco! Coco loves snuggling and she loves a belly rub. Coco loves playing with her toys, especially when she can rope someone else into playing with her! She has a sassy little personality and will steal socks before sprinting away with her prize as her tail wags. Coco has no idea she isn’t as big as her foster siblings and she strives to keep up with the best of them! Like any good puppy, Coco is playful and energetic when she is awake, and fully zonked out when she’s ready for a rest. Coco is very easy-going and happy to do whatever! If everyone is busy, she can keep herself busy with the toy bin, taking all her toys out and spreading them around. If you’re ready for adventure, she’s grabbing the leash and waiting by the door!  Coco wakes up around 7 AM and immediately goes out to potty. She gets some playtime before breakfast and then eats at around 9 AM. During the day, Coco alternates between napping on her bed, playing with her foster brothers, getting pets from her foster parents, and zooming around the yard. Coco has free access to the backyard and has been making improvements on her potty training. Coco eats lunch at 1 PM and then works on some training skills. Dinner is at 6 PM followed by another play session in the backyard. In the evening, Coco gets her cuddles on the couch as she squeaks her toys. She goes to her pen for the night after one last potty break at 9 PM.  Coco gets along very well with the resident dogs in her foster home. She would be a great addition to a home with a dog or as a solo pup. Coco gets along with everyone she meets and would love a home where she can spend her days with her people or canine siblings. She is very food motivated so training with Coco will be a fun time. She promises to be the best companion ever. Don’t let someone else scoop up this designer gal, she promises to fill your life with love and joy!    Coco is an option for those who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.April 18, 2024, 12:48 pm
