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 Moolah: Your Little Fortune in the Making   Moolah is a 3–4 year old, 12-pound Papillon mix who has already proven herself to be one very devoted mama. She came to our rescue after being surrendered with her six babies, and after raising her little family, this sweet girl is finally ready to cash in on something just for her—a loving home of her own.   When Moolah first arrived, she was shy and a bit skittish, sticking close to her person for reassurance. In those early days, she was practically glued to her foster mom, quietly observing the world around her. But it didn’t take long for her gentle personality to start shining through. Within just a few days, she gained confidence and began showing her affectionate side, happily snuggling up with her foster dad and teenage family member. Now, one of her favorite routines is to curl up next to “her boy” after a burst of morning fun.   And speaking of fun— Moolah has recently discovered the joy of playtime. These days, right after her morning potty break, she makes a beeline for her favorite squeaky toy and zooms around the house with surprising enthusiasm. It’s been a delight to watch her inner puppy emerge as she realizes she can relax and enjoy herself. Her expressive ears— truly some of the best around— perk, tilt, and swivel with every new discovery, giving you a perfect window into what she’s thinking.   Moolah is incredibly smart and is making wonderful progress with her house training. While she wasn’t housebroken when she first arrived, she’s quickly catching on and is now starting to go outside on her own to do her business. She’s still getting used to the crate and may voice her opinion for a few minutes before settling down, but she does adjust with a little patience. She’s also new to leash walking, yet because she’s such a loyal, Velcro-type companion, she naturally stays close and walks right alongside her person.   In the home, Moolah is gentle, well-mannered, and easy to live with. She doesn’t dig or chew on things she shouldn’t, gets along nicely with other dogs, and truly loves being near her people. She thrives on companionship and affection, happily following you from room to room just to be part of whatever you’re doing.   Moolah may still be building her confidence, but her progress so far shows just how resilient and loving she is. With a little patience, encouragement, and plenty of cuddles, this sweet girl is sure to blossom into the devoted companion she was always meant to be.April 28, 2026, 6:43 pm

Story
Max  is a super sweet, tender-hearted pup who is looking for a patient, loving home. While he may be timid at first—often preferring to watch the world go by from a cozy, safe spot—he has a heart of gold and is incredibly gentle when he warms up. Energy Level?  Medium House trained?  No, we keep him in a pen with potty pads when we can take him outside. But he is smart and very eager to please his human. He will get it in no time with consistency. Describe how they are on a leash?  He is not used to walking on a leash, but is much better with a harness. Max does not like being pulled by his neck with just a collar. Currently, I have fastened the Martingale collar to the harness in order to be able to practice walking on a leash for his safety. Describe how they are with other dogs?  Max is friendly and great with other dogs.  Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  Max is great with the resident dog. I have found them snuggling together on the couch. He has passed the cat test and would be fine with cats. Commands they know?  Max comes when you call him, but he hasn't had much training and would definitely benefit from basic training. What are their favorite things?  Cuddles, hanging out outside, playing with plushy toys, and mealtimes. What do they need to work on?  Building confidence, basic training, and leash training. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  Max sleeps when he is left alone. He may cry for a few minutes at first, but he stops within 5 minutes. The longest time I have left Max at home is 5 hours, and he did just fine. Where do they sleep?  Max sleeps on his bed in his xpen. What is their ideal home?  With patience and consistency, sweet Max would do great with any family. Max is 3 years old and 10.71 pounds.     The Adoption fee is $325.   For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online adoption application at  www.everypetsdream.org/adopt .

Story
Hello. My stepdad passed away recently, and I've been taking care of Kenji since then. I was able to balance my college coursework while training/taking care of her. Now that I have to work full-time, I won't be able to provide the attention and effort she needs. Kenji is around 5 years old; her birthday is in December 2021. I was able to get her potty- and crate-trained, also taught her a few commands (sit, paw, release word: 'go', and bed). Her current schedule is eating twice a day, and I walk her 3x daily. She loves eating, lounging, affection/cuddles, and playing (fetch or tug of war). Her reactivity towards cats and barking can be alleviated with patience, effort, and lots of treats! She's an amazing indoor and outdoor pet due to her excitability and laziness. Kenji may take a while to acclimate to a new environment because I noticed how easily anxious she gets with unfamiliar people, but after a couple of minutes, she tends to go up to them and ask for cuddles.
