Story
Pug / Dachshund Mix Age: ≈ 4 years old Female, spayed 15 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Cheerio came to the Sacramento County Shelter underweight and with an embedded foxtail in her neck. It was removed surgically, but post-op they had trouble stopping the bleeding. She tested negative for any blood clotting disorder - perhaps the surgery nicked an artery? Eventually, the bleeding stopped, but it left her anemic. The shelter needed a rescue group that specializes in medical cases to continue addressing her veterinary needs. Over time in foster care, her anemia improved and she gained her weight back. She is a very friendly, sweet dog. She likes attention and affection from her foster parents and volunteers. She likes roughhousing with the younger, larger dogs in her foster home. She doesn’t like being confined or kept away from the activities of the home. Crate training would be pretty difficult - lots of barking. Apartment living may not be the best option for her. We have no experience with her as an only dog. We would recommend that she go to a home with other playful, friendly dogs. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Story
JJ is a sweet, gentle pug who will be turning 2 years old this April. She has a calm, affectionate personality and has been a wonderful companion in a family environment. She is great with kids—patient, gentle, and loving—and enjoys being around people. JJ is friendly and does well with other dogs, especially in a calm and respectful setting. She enjoys short walks, relaxing at home, and staying close to her humans. JJ is in good health and has been well cared for. She thrives on routine, attention, and a loving environment where she can feel secure and part of the family. Due to major life changes and relocation, I’m no longer able to provide the long-term stability JJ deserves. This decision comes from a place of love and responsibility, with her best interest at heart. I am looking for a committed, responsible adopter who can offer JJ a safe, stable, and permanent home. Ideally, her new family will understand the pug temperament and be ready to treat her as a lifelong companion.

Story
Thelma is sweet, smart, energetic, loyal, and goofy! She is mostly housetrained and is working on her leash skills. She gets along well with other dogs and older kids. (She has not been introduced to cats yet.) She can be a bit anxious, so she probably needs someone who is mostly home. She loves her squeaky toys and playing tug-a-war with other dogs. Meet this sweetie by filling out a questionnaire and a volunteer will contact you. (JH) Thelma weighs 18 pounds.

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, February 7th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance.   Adoption fee: $650   Meet Linus! 12-14 weeks old * Chug * 7 lbs   Linus's siblings got adopted, so he's currently being fostered with Blaze, who is also flying solo.   Blaze and Linus are the last of their litter still waiting for forever homes, and while they didn’t plan it this way, being fostered together has turned into something really special. They were feeling a little lonely on their own, so they were paired up— and quickly became the very best of friends. You’ll often find them wrestling, racing around the yard, sharing toys, or curled up together in the same bed for naps and nighttime sleep. Despite loving hanging out in their foster home together, we are looking for separate homes for them.   Daily routine These boys start their day bright and early, usually between 6-7am, when their humans rise. Breakfast follows around 6:30–7:00am, lunch between 1:00–2:30pm, and dinner around 6–7pm. By 8–9pm, they’re happily settling into their x-pen for the night. They eat puppy kibble, enjoy dog treats, and get the occasional bully stick. Since they’re not fully vaccinated yet, they’re not going on walks, but they get plenty of playtime at home and in the yard—which they absolutely love.   When no one is home, they’re safely contained in their pen. On three weekdays, that’s typically from about 7:45am until early afternoon. When the family is home, Blaze and Linus rotate between their play area, supervised time roaming the house, and joyful zoomies in the yard.   When he transitioned to his new foster home, Linus gained confidence quickly and began following Blaze out to explore and play. He’s athletic, strong, and impressively clever. He often has the edge during wrestling matches and has been known to perch thoughtfully on top of barriers, deciding whether to retreat or leap to freedom. He’s affectionate, soft-coated, and adores other dogs!   Blaze and Linus are playful, energetic puppies with lots of enthusiasm for life. They love tug-of-war, chasing each other, running with kids, and tearing around the yard—especially through leaf piles. If one finds a leaf or stick, the other must have the same one, even if there are a hundred more nearby. They’re not velcro dogs, but that may be because they have each other; they naturally gravitate back together if they’re ever apart.   They adore people of all ages, including kids (9–14), greeting everyone with excitement, kisses, and requests to be picked up. Both are affectionate, enjoy laps and being held, and are especially cuddly when they’re winding down after a busy day.   Training & habits They’re doing well with potty pads in their pen and are learning to use pads more consistently in larger spaces. As puppies, they do nip and chew, especially when excited or teething, but they’re easily redirected to toys and are learning quickly.   Why you’ll love him Linus is clever, athletic, and emotionally tuned in, always checking on his people and his best friend. Together, they’re funny, loving, and endlessly entertaining.   Blaze and Linus are the kind of puppies who leave paw prints on your heart— and who will happily end every day with one last cuddle before bed.February 3, 2026, 11:31 am

Story
Happy Holidays! My name is Izzy. I'm a fun loving 8 year old gal that doesn't let my age get in the way of having a merry good time! I was rescued by a dog loving lady and driven all the way from an overcrowded shelter in L.A. I was saved without a moment to spare. I was sick as a dog with a terrible cold and cough along with double ear infections. I was in desperate need of some TLC and medical attention. I have now recovered from my cold, cherry eye repair and spay. I'm a loving little lady that loves people and children. Yes, any human that pets and shows me love, I am yours! I'm meeting new dogs and like the small ones best. I'm learning proper introductions to bigger dogs, I get so overly excited I get a bit pushy and realizing dogs don't want to play with me so much. I'm enjoying car rides, love treats and getting better with short walks. I'm happy with my comfy bed and enjoy being the center of attention! I love it when people call me cute, what a little doll and stuff like that. I like dressing up, I get more attention and treats that way. If your looking for a loyal little lady to be by your side snuggled up watching the New Year's Eve celebrations, I'm your gal! Just look how cute I am all dressed up!

Story
Adopt Bindi What can we say about BINDI? The perfect puppy. She is absolutely a gem. Dogs no problem, people no problem, kids no problem , fireworks? No big deal. She rides in the car. Super great either in a crate or in her seat. She sleeps through the night in her crate very well! As long as there is a way to the backyard she knows how to use the bathroom outside. While she does love to get a little rowdy with her current brothers and sister, she can also chill and relax, just as easy. She has one quirk .. which is that she does suffer from mega esophagus. So that being said she does much better in cooler temperatures. So she doesn’t over drink water and regurgitate and best to have a raised bowl. This is a condition where her esophagus does not have the muscle tone and it is hard for food to get from her esophagus to her stomach correctly. We had a wonderful Neighbor build her a special “Bailey“ chair which she eats her meals in and sits in with a lick mat for approximately 20 minutes. We have worked very hard on a meal plan that works awesome for her. And with that she maybe has zero to one regurgitation a day. She doesn’t need much exercise .Short walks or play dates are awesome and fun for her. A home with more mellow siblings would probably be best for her. She is the sweetest most loving puppy and I think she deserves a home that will put her needs first. She’s overall such a good dog and any family would be lucky to have her be part of the pack! Her breed mix is an old English bulldog mix. That 100% the cutest girl ever. To meet her please apply. She is located in Half moon bay caSeptember 2, 2025, 8:41 am
