Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption fee: $750 Meet Mr. Darcy — a 3 year old, 22-lb Poodle mix with movie-star good looks, a brilliant brain, and a heart that beats for closeness. Mr. Darcy came to DPS from the shelter alongside his buddy (possibly girlfriend!) Lady Elizabeth, and he has settled into foster life showing exactly why everyone falls for him so quickly. Daily Life & Routine Mr. Darcy thrives on a predictable, cozy routine. His mornings begin around 8:00 am with a 10-minute potty break in the backyard, followed by breakfast. Around noon, he enjoys a 20-minute backyard play session filled with sniffing, exploring, and the occasional zoomie. The afternoon is mostly for napping or quietly observing the world from his enclosure gate— interrupted by several short snuggle breaks with his foster. He heads out for another potty break around 4:00 pm, eats dinner at 6:00 pm, and then enjoys a 20–30 minute walk or backyard play session. Evenings from 7:00–10:00 pm are spent happily relaxing in his enclosure while frequently popping out for affection and company, followed by a final potty break at 10:00 pm. He is crate trained and will sleep through the night in his crate, with only a tiny whine when he first goes in. He's then silent until the morning. Personality & Temperament Mr. Darcy is exceptionally smart, affectionate, and playful— and a true Velcro dog at heart. His greatest joy is being close to his people and soaking up affection. He learned how to use a doggy screen door and ramp to the backyard almost immediately (a first for his foster!), knows “sit,” and is highly treat-motivated, making him a joy to train. When someone enters his enclosure, he immediately trots over for pets, rolls onto his back, and happily requests belly rubs. He is absolutely a cuddler and snuggler, preferring calm, gentle affection—especially with new people. He communicates clearly and appropriately if something makes him uncomfortable, such as overly rough play, which shows his good boundaries and emotional awareness. Social Skills Mr. Darcy is friendly and thoughtful with other dogs. He lives with a medium-sized reactive resident dog and consistently approaches her with a wagging tail while giving her respectful space. He attempts polite play invitations with play bows and gentle body language and seems to read canine cues very well. On walks, he is non-reactive to other dogs and children. He has not been tested with cats. Energy Level & Play Style He is a medium-energy dog— happy to go on walks or even a longer outing, but just as content relaxing nearby. He doesn’t show much interest in most toys yet, possibly because he’s still learning how to play. He does enjoy his lambie on occasion and especially likes puzzle-style enrichment, such as digging treats out of a soft treat ball. He would likely enjoy having another friendly dog in the home, though it’s not required. Leash & Manners Mr. Darcy has been out on walks and does pull a bit on leash, but he responds very well to gentle correction and is clearly eager to learn. He does not chase squirrels and does not bark at other dogs. Housetraining & Home Habits Mr. Darcy is house-trained. He has occasionally peed on potty pads. He uses a doggy door confidently. While he isn’t crated in foster care, he does well in an enclosure area when people are home and does not chew or destroy household items. He does not dig, bark at passersby, or vocalize unnecessarily. Ideal Home Mr. Darcy would thrive in a home where companionship is part of daily life and his people enjoy having a devoted, affectionate dog close by. He would benefit from consistent routines, positive-reinforcement training, daily walks, and mental enrichment. He could do well in an apartment or house and would likely love having a friendly canine companion, though he would also be happy as the center of someone’s world. His future family should be patient and committed to helping him feel secure as he continues building confidence. Why Mr. Darcy Is Special Mr. Darcy is the full package: incredibly smart, deeply affectionate, calm yet playful, and wonderfully polite. He takes treats gently, isn’t mouthy or jumpy, and has just the right amount of energy for both adventures and couch time. He’s non-shedding, travel-friendly, and beautifully attuned to his people. A Favorite Quirk One of his foster’s favorite things is how Mr. Darcy sneaks his nose under your hand to demand affection. Even cuter? When you try to leave his area, he’ll dart in front of you and dramatically flop onto his back, belly up, ensuring you simply must stay a little longer and give him more love. Mr. Darcy is ready to charm his way into a forever home—preferably one with open hands, a soft couch, and plenty of time for snuggles.January 1, 2026, 12:21 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.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: $700 Meet Bob Marley! When Bob Marley, a 5 year old, 11 lb Poodle mix, arrived at the shelter, he was buried under severe mats and dreadlocks— so caked with urine, feces, and filth that the dog underneath was barely visible. Every tug of his coat caused him pain. Volunteers removed what they safely could, and at his professional grooming appointment, Bob had to be shaved all the way down. Now, beneath all that, a sweet, expressive Poodle mix has emerged— clean, comfortable, and ready to start fresh. His beautiful, fluffy coat will grow back, but Bob’s gentle heart is already on full display. A Day in the Life Bob wakes up between 7–9am, then heads into the backyard for a potty break and some morning playtime— anywhere from 30 minutes to a full hour. Breakfast follows: one cup of kibble topped with a jerky treat. On workdays, Bob accompanies his foster to the doggy salon. He enjoys calmly roaming around, taking in the activity, and sometimes interacting with other dogs. He also gets a short crate break to relax. On days off, the routine is the same, with added walks or zoomies around the house. His second meal is between 6–8pm. Personality & Progress In his first few days, Bob was anxious— pacing, struggling to settle. But as he began to feel safe, his tension slowly melted away. Now he can nap on his own, sleep through the night without whining, and relax comfortably even when his foster steps away. Bob is a loving, affectionate, people-centered dog. He adores cuddles, thrives on attention, and is happiest when he’s near someone. He’s a classic velcro companion, following his person from room to room— but at bedtime, if he feels he’s gotten enough love for the day, he’ll put himself to bed without fuss. He’s tender, expressive, and truly just wants to belong. Energy Level & Play Style Bob has a spirited, lively personality. He enjoys activity, backyard time, and being included. He’s playful, bright, alert, and always ready for interaction. But he also knows how to settle and relax. He’s not a hyper dog—just an enthusiastic one with a happy tail and a big heart. Leash Skills Bob has gone on walks and does well overall—he doesn’t pull, doesn’t bark at other dogs, and isn’t distracted by squirrels. However, he may chew on his leash when he gets excited. With routine and consistency, this should improve easily. Why Adopt Bob Marley? Because he’s special. Bob is joyful, loving, enthusiastic, and incredibly endearing. He has the biggest heart and a bright, expressive spirit. After surviving neglect, he hasn’t lost his faith in people—he still offers unconditional love, trust, and sweetness. He’s the kind of dog who lights up a room with his wagging tail, who wants to be part of everything you do, and who will reward your love with limitless devotion. Foster Favorite Bob’s foster says her favorite thing is his unbelievable ability to spread joy. Whether it’s his happy tail, his energy, or just the pure love he radiates, Bob makes every day better. His presence alone can lift a mood—and he’s always ready to cuddle close and let you know he adores you.December 12, 2025, 3:44 am

Story

Mango is small, fluffy, and absolutely adorable rescue — a sweet, sensitive boy who thrives in the right environment. He bonds deeply to his person, is affectionate, playful, and loves learning and being involved. When calm and supported, his loving, goofy personality shines. Mango can get anxious in overwhelming situations. This may show as reactivity, especially around reflections (glass, cars, elevators) or some larger dogs. With guidance, these moments can be managed. He has had puppy school, professional training, online programs, and consistent work at home. He does best with calm, confident guidance, clear routines, and consistency. He needs an experienced adopter for his reactivity. He isn’t the right dog for a first time dog parent. Mango would be happiest with a patient, steady person who provides structure and ongoing training. He is not broken — he is loving, smart, and has so much potential to grow into a confident, joyful companion.
