Jojo has been a good pet. He is very social able with other dogs and people. If cats are around, he is curious, but does not chase them. He likes kids, too. He enjoys taking walks in the AM & PM, preferring cooler temperatures. He is a support dog, always likes being rubbed.

Story
Ashley: The Shy Soul with a Playful Heart Looking for: A patient, loving home ready to watch a timid girl blossom into her best self. Meet Ashley! Ashley is a gentle, sensitive pup who is still learning that the world is a safe place. Right now, her crate is her safe space. But the moment she's with her dog friends? Her personality truly shines. She zooms and she instigates play. Ashley knows how to have fun — she just needs to feel safe enough to show you. Her Perfect Match A Canine Companion: Ashley truly thrives alongside other dogs. She takes her cues from them, borrows their confidence, and uses their presence to feel brave enough to step outside her comfort zone. A resident dog at home would make all the difference for this girl. If not, be prepared to take some extra time to earn her trust.  A Patient Human: Ashley needs someone who understands that trust is earned slowly — and that every small moment counts. She's already taking baby steps: venturing out of her crate more, stealing her dog-mate's toys to chew on. A Low-Key Environment: A calm, quiet home where she can decompress and grow at her own pace is exactly what this girl needs to flourish. Once you win Ashley's heart, that loyalty will be one of the most rewarding things you've ever earned. She is ready to take her next brave step — could it be into your home? All dogs/puppies will be spayed/neutered unless spay/neuter contract is signed with additional deposit.

Story
* 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.Adoption fee: $750 Meet Gosling & Reynolds: The Ryan Puppies!   If your idea of happiness includes puppy zoomies, endless entertainment, and a whole lot of laughter, then Gosling and Reynolds are ready to steal your heart. These adorable 10-12 week old, 8 lb pups may be brothers, but each has his own unique charm—and both are guaranteed to bring joy wherever they go.   Puppy Life is the Best Life   Like any growing puppies, Gosling and Reynolds spend their days mastering the fine art of play, nap, eat, repeat. Their mornings begin around 8:00 a.m., followed by breakfast, wrestling matches, toy adventures, and plenty of puppy shenanigans before settling down for well-earned naps. Throughout the day they alternate between energetic play sessions and snooze breaks, finally calling it a night around 11:00 p.m.   Both puppies are currently using potty pads consistently and are off to a great start with their puppy manners. They're smart little guys who are already showing how quickly they learn.   Gosling: The Bouncy Charmer   Gosling is a happy-go-lucky puppy whose favorite hobbies include wrestling, playing with toys, and making every day feel like a party. He approaches life with enthusiasm and confidence, and he was comfortable in his foster home almost immediately.   While playtime is definitely his first love, Gosling has a sweet side too. Every now and then he'll wander over for a head scratch or ear rub before bouncing back off to whatever fun activity is happening nearby. When he runs, he practically springs through the air like he's on a tiny trampoline, making him endlessly entertaining to watch.   Gosling's adorable tuxedo markings, white socks, and super-soft non-shedding coat make him as handsome as he is lovable. His coat will likely require regular grooming as he grows, but it's well worth the effort for such a cuddly companion.   One of his foster family's favorite things? Watching him sleep flat on his back with all four paws sticking straight up in the air.   Reynolds: The Curious Explorer   Reynolds brings all the puppy energy of his brother, but with an extra dose of curiosity and brains. He's the observer of the duo—the puppy who pauses during playtime to carefully inspect his surroundings and figure out how everything works.   He's incredibly clever and learns quickly. In fact, both boys learned 'sit' after only a handful of repetitions, but Reynolds tends to be a little more consistent about showing off his new skills. He's also impressively athletic and agile. His foster family quickly learned that standard puppy pens were merely suggestions to Reynolds, who successfully climbed his way out more than once.   Despite his adventurous nature, Reynolds also enjoys checking in with his people. He likes knowing where his humans are and will happily hop into a lap for pets before heading back to his next adventure.   Social Butterflies   Both puppies are friendly, playful, and eager to engage with the world around them. They currently live with a small resident dog and would love a canine playmate of their own, though they don't require one. They have met a teenager and have shown typical puppy behavior, including playful nipping and lots of excitement.   Because they're still young puppies, they are teething and enjoy chewing on toys (and occasionally things that aren't toys if left unattended). As with any puppy, they'll thrive with positive training, structure, and plenty of appropriate outlets for their energy.   Looking for Their Forever Families   These boys are incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of personality. They are at the perfect age to continue learning and growing with their future families. Whether you're looking for a playful hiking buddy, a loyal companion, or simply a daily source of laughter, either Gosling or Reynolds could be the perfect fit.   While they've loved having each other as playmates, they are being adopted separately and are ready to form special bonds with families of their very own.   If you're ready to add a little extra fun, laughter, and puppy love to your life, come meet Gosling or Reynolds—you may just find your new best friend.   June 28, 2026, 4:16 pm
