Pomeranian puppies and dogs in Pacifica, California

Chloe is a sweet 5 year old dog but needs someone who can give her more attention. She is energetic & loves to play. Chloe loves belly rubs & loves to sit on people’s laps. We had a new baby and Chloe has become aggressive towards our children. We think she should be in a home of just adults who can care for her & properly trained her. Chloe was adopted from another family & showed signs of previously because neglected. We hope we can find someone to give her the love and care she deserves.

Adoption Fee: $800 Piglet is a tiny Pomeranian with a very big heart, a very fluffy coat, and a very carefully calculated personal-space bubble. This sweet 2–3 year old girl is one of seven Pomeranians who came to us from the same breeder, and naturally, we had to name the entire group after Winnie the Pooh characters. Piglet may be one of the shyest members of the group, but she is also one of the sweetest. When Piglet first arrived, she was very scared and unsure of everything around her. She wasn't quite sure what these humans were up to and preferred to keep her distance while she observed from a safe location. With time, patience and a predictable routine, she has started to come out of her shell. She now spends more time near her foster family, follows her foster mom around the house and likes being in the same room with her people. Piglet is still figuring out the whole 'people are safe and wonderful' concept, though. Her foster family describes it perfectly: her body wants to get closer, but her mind isn't completely convinced yet. When they come home, she is genuinely happy to see them, and you can tell she wants to come closer. Then her brain seems to tap the brakes and say, 'Let's not get carried away.' She backs off and maintains her little comfort zone. We think that with the right person and enough time, that distance will continue to shrink. And that is what makes Piglet so rewarding. Her progress may not come with fireworks, but every little step is meaningful. A dog who was once afraid to be near you choosing to follow you into another room is a big deal. A dog who once avoided interaction deciding to hang out nearby is a big deal. With Piglet, you have to appreciate the quiet victories, because those are the moments when she is telling you that she is beginning to trust you. Piglet is not a high-energy Pomeranian who needs to be entertained every waking minute. Quite the opposite. She is calm, peaceful and perfectly content to lounge on the sofa while her person works or goes about their day. She enjoys spending time in the backyard, where she may wander around, take care of business or simply stretch out in the sunshine. In fact, Piglet has embraced the concept of sunbathing with the dedication of someone who has discovered a five-star resort. She has also mastered the art of being a quiet companion. Piglet doesn't bark, doesn't dig and doesn't chew. She isn't chasing squirrels or birds, and she isn't looking for chaos. She seems to have taken one look at the world and decided that she would much rather observe it from a comfortable position. At night, Piglet sleeps beautifully in her kennel and seems to find comfort in having a small, cozy place of her own. She wakes around 7 a.m. and is carried outside for her morning potty break before coming back in for breakfast. She has free access to the backyard during the day and gets another trip outside before dinner and bedtime around 10 p.m. She does well when left home alone and stays comfortably in her playpen. House training is still a work in progress. Piglet is not yet potty trained and currently relies on regular backyard breaks and a consistent routine. Her new family will need to continue working patiently with her as she learns the rules of her new life. She is also not yet comfortable walking on a leash, so leash training will need to be introduced gradually. Piglet has lived with many other dogs and is familiar with being part of a canine household. She has not shown aggression and has been wonderful with children, although she tends to maintain her personal-space policy with people in general. She has not been around cats while in our care, so we don't yet know how she would feel about feline roommates. Piglet is one of those dogs who may not immediately grab your attention by racing across the room or demanding affection. Instead, she quietly works her way into your heart. She is the little dog who will be across the room watching you, then eventually move a little closer. She'll follow you from one room to another without asking for anything. She'll happily lie nearby while you work. And when you come home, she'll be happy to see you even if she's not quite ready to run over and throw herself into your arms. That's Piglet. She doesn't need someone who expects her to become a social butterfly overnight. She needs someone who understands that confidence is built one small step at a time. Her ideal home would be calm and patient, with someone who can appreciate the process of earning her trust rather than expecting it immediately. We believe there is so much more of Piglet waiting to emerge. She is already showing us that she wants companionship. She wants to be near her people. She is happy to see them. She is learning to relax in their presence. Her heart is telling her that she wants to trust; her cautious little brain just needs more time to catch up. And someday, we hope that distance disappears completely. Because when Piglet finally decides that you're her person, we suspect you're going to have a very devoted little shadow following you around the house. She may never be the Pom who greets every stranger like a long-lost cousin, and she may never be the dog who believes personal space is a ridiculous human invention. But she can be the dog who quietly sits beside you, follows you from room to room and eventually decides that your home is her safe place. Piglet doesn't need a perfect family. She needs a patient one. And for the right person, watching this sweet little girl learn to trust may be one of the most rewarding things they've ever done. August 17, 2026, 10:01 pm

* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.* This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, August 22nd from 12–3 PM (unless adopted prior to the event). All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption.   Adoption Fee: $800 Some dogs walk into your life and immediately demand to be the center of attention. Eeyore is different. She quietly slips into your heart, one tiny step at a time… and then somehow you can't imagine your life without her. At 8 years old and just 5.6 pounds, Eeyore is basically a tiny, fluffy little marshmallow with legs. She arrived in foster care a very frightened girl. The world was overwhelming, people were scary, and her crate was her safe place. She would watch her foster family from a distance, wanting so badly to be part of things but not yet brave enough to make the leap. And then something beautiful happened. Eeyore started to realize that maybe people weren't so scary after all. Day by day, she has been coming out of her shell. First she slept near the gate of her x-pen. Then she discovered the dog bed. Then she allowed her foster to pet her while she was curled up and feeling safe. Then she started exploring the house. Then she started sniffing her foster's feet. And finally, she accepted treats directly from a human hand. For Eeyore, these may sound like tiny accomplishments. They aren't. They're everything. This little girl is learning that she can trust. She is learning that a hand reaching toward her can mean love instead of something frightening. She is learning that the world has soft beds, morning walks, treats, people who come home, and apparently… feet worth investigating. And watching her figure all of this out is pretty darn adorable. Eeyore is a quiet, gentle, submissive little soul. She doesn't chase squirrels, doesn't bark at people or other dogs, doesn't chew things up, doesn't dig, and has shown no destructive behavior. She isn't interested in creating chaos. She is more of a “Can I just quietly exist over here near you?” kind of girl. In fact, Eeyore has discovered that she rather enjoys being near her people—as long as they don't get too close too quickly. She likes to sleep beside the table where her foster family works on their laptops. She wants to be part of the family. She just prefers to participate from what she considers a very reasonable distance. Think of her as the introvert who absolutely wants to attend the party but would prefer to sit quietly in the corner and observe everyone. She is also becoming quite the little lounge expert. After a walk, Eeyore is perfectly happy to come home, eat dinner, and settle down for a nap. She doesn't need someone to run her into the ground. She needs someone willing to let her move at her own pace and celebrate the little victories along the way. And those little victories are happening quickly. Remember the terrified girl who wouldn't even sit on the grass? She's now going on walks. The girl who wouldn't take a treat from her person's hand? She's now taking treats. The girl who spent her days hiding in her crate? She's now exploring the house and choosing to sleep near her people. Eeyore would thrive in a calm, patient home, ideally with someone who is around much of the day. Another calm, confident dog could be a wonderful companion for her. She would also do best with older, gentle children because she is still head-shy and can retreat when she feels overwhelmed. She does have some separation anxiety, and when left alone she may bark or howl for a while. But even that is improving. After a good morning walk, she recently settled within about 30 minutes and slept for the rest of the time her foster was gone. She isn't destructive—she just needs time to learn that when her people leave, they really do come back. There is something incredibly special about adopting a dog like Eeyore. You don't just get to bring home a dog. You get to be the person who teaches her that she is safe. You get to watch the first time she walks confidently across the room. The first time she climbs into your lap. The first time she follows you because she wants to, not because she's afraid to be left behind. The first time she realizes that your home is hers. And honestly? Someone is going to meet Eeyore, see that tiny 5.6-pound face, and know immediately that she's their girl. We're just hoping that person doesn't wait too long. Because Eeyore isn't the dog who is going to jump into the arms of the first person she meets. She's the dog who is going to make you earn her trust and then make you feel like the luckiest person in the world when she finally gives it to you. And once Eeyore decides you're her person? That's the kind of love you don't get back very often. August 17, 2026, 10:01 pm

At just 6.8 pounds, Pooh has somehow managed to fit an enormous personality, a serious case of lap addiction, and a surprisingly ambitious social calendar into one very small Pom. He arrived in foster care and immediately decided that meeting new people and dogs was less of a concern and more of a personal hobby. From day one, Pooh has been Mr. Congeniality. Humans? Wonderful. Dogs? Fantastic. A lap? Absolutely magnificent. If Pooh had his way, his entire day would consist of being carried around like the tiny prince he believes himself to be. He loves everybody he meets and has shown absolutely no fearfulness. When he's not working on securing premium lap real estate, Pooh is surprisingly good at entertaining himself. He loves squeaky toys, chasing a ball around his pen, and has recently discovered the joys of pine cones. Yes, pine cones. Apparently, Pooh's idea of a great afternoon is backyard exploration followed by a little light pine-cone chewing. He alternates between bursts of energy and serious lounging, which is really just his way of maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Pooh is also developing quite the reputation with the ladies. He has discovered that he really, really likes other dogs and has attempted to make friends with a little more enthusiasm than everyone has necessarily requested. His foster's older female dog gave him one very clear correction, and he immediately got the message. When Pez came along and decided to return the favor by chasing Pooh around, Pooh got a little taste of his own medicine. Karma apparently weighs approximately 6.8 pounds. Despite his tiny size and occasional moments of questionable decision-making, Pooh is remarkably polite. When his foster opens the x-pen, he doesn't charge out like a tiny furry jailbreak escapee. He sits and waits to be picked up. Honestly, manners matter. He is also an impressively quiet little guy. His first bark didn't happen until about a week into foster care, and even then it was basically a tiny security guard announcement of, “Who goes there?” Pooh is still learning about the whole walking-on-a-leash concept. Right now, he has decided that walking from the car to the house is acceptable, but walking from the car to literally anywhere else is apparently an unreasonable request. He's working on it. He has, however, become quite the experienced passenger, having already been on numerous car rides. Unfortunately, Pooh's stomach has not yet embraced the travel lifestyle, so his foster is still figuring out what works best for him in the car. At home, Pooh enjoys backyard adventures, squeaky toys, naps in his dog bed, and supervising the very important bunny hole under the deck. He will sit and stare at it for as long as his foster allows, apparently convinced that something extremely important is happening down there. And then there is the lap. Pooh LOVES a lap. If you're looking for a tiny Pom who will happily curl up with you and make himself comfortable, Pooh would like to submit his application immediately. His foster describes him as a sweet lovebug whose primary goals when he's out of his pen are exploring and obtaining lap time. Pooh would do well with someone who enjoys having a little sidekick around. He seems perfectly capable of being left alone for several hours, especially with classical music playing in the background, but given the choice, he'd probably vote for a homebody who is available for frequent cuddle breaks. Pooh is tiny, ridiculously cute, wonderfully social, endlessly entertaining, and very serious about his career as a professional lap dog. He is still learning a few things, but his sweet personality makes him awfully easy to root for. If you have room in your life for a 6.8-pound Pom who thinks every person is a potential friend and every lap is a potential residence, Pooh would like to meet you. August 17, 2026, 10:01 pm

Roo is a handsome little Pomeranian weighing 7.2 pounds and estimated to be about 1–2 years old. He is one of seven Pomeranians who came to us from the same longtime Chow breeder, and because apparently one species of fluffy, opinionated dog wasn't enough, this group arrived with a little extra Pom sparkle. They are all named after characters from Winnie the Pooh, and our Roo is living up to his name by bouncing his way into the hearts of everyone he meets. He is as handsome as they come, with a gorgeous, full Pom coat and the kind of face that makes you stop and say, 'Oh my goodness, look at that little guy.' Roo had a lot to take in when he first arrived. Everything was new, and he was understandably a little nervous at first. But Roo didn't need much time to figure out that people were pretty wonderful. By his second day, the nervousness was fading and the affection was taking over. Now he is happy to come when he is called, loves attention and has become wonderfully affectionate with his people. Visitors? Roo is apparently a fan. When guests arrived, he was super friendly from the get-go. He may have needed a minute to decide that everything was okay, but once he made that decision, he was ready to participate in the festivities. Roo seems to have discovered that having people around means more opportunities for attention, and he is absolutely on board with that arrangement. He has also learned his new name remarkably quickly. Say 'Roo!' and he knows you're talking to him. He has even mastered the doggy door, which is no small accomplishment for a little guy who is still learning all the rules of his new world. Roo is currently living with other dogs and gets along well with them. He eats peacefully alongside the entire canine crew, which is especially impressive because Roo arrived underweight and clearly has some catching up to do. He is a good eater and is happily working on putting some healthy weight on his little frame. No food drama, no guarding, no 'THAT'S MY BOWL!' Just Roo, dinner and the general understanding that there will be another meal tomorrow. He has also done wonderfully with his crate. Roo can sleep comfortably in his crate overnight and settles in nicely. His foster family has discovered that he is actually quite good at this whole household-dog thing. He just needs someone to continue showing him how it works. House training is still a work in progress, so his new family will need to be patient and consistent while Roo learns that the great outdoors is where we take care of business. He has had a leash left on him while learning the ropes, and apparently Roo decided that the leash was no big deal. Now that he is accustomed to having it around, he is ready to keep working on his leash skills. And honestly, for a dog who hasn't been in a home for very long, Roo is making an impressive amount of progress. There is something especially endearing about watching a dog like Roo discover all the little things that make being someone's dog so wonderful. A name that means him. A person calling him and waiting for him to come. A soft place to sleep. A doggy door that leads to the outside. Other dogs to hang out with. Visitors who think he's adorable. Meals served every day. And, most importantly, people who are happy to have him there. Roo came to us as part of a group of Pomeranians from a breeder who loved her dogs deeply and was known for producing dogs with wonderful, sound temperaments. We are honored to help these little guys move into the next chapter of their lives, where all that fluff can be put to very important use: being spoiled. Roo is looking for a home that will give him the patience he needs while he finishes learning his house manners, plenty of affection, and a whole lot of love. Another friendly dog would be wonderful, but what Roo really needs is someone who will appreciate this tiny, handsome little guy for exactly who he is. He is sweet. He is affectionate. He is friendly. He is fluffy. He is learning FAST. And he has apparently decided that his new name, his new people and his new life are all pretty fantastic. Roo may only weigh 7.2 pounds, but he has absolutely no plans to let his size limit his personality. After all, big adventures come in very small packages. August 17, 2026, 10:01 pm
