Buddy is a rescue. He likes a lot of attention. He is a good boy. He does suffer from allergies but Ithink it is because I back up to a creek and have lots of bay leaf trees oak and eucalyptus. While getting my house ready forsale I had Integrity K9 keep himfor a month and train him. He is uneasy around ment at the beginning. Need to introduce himslowly to men then he will be fine.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereLouie is the perfect pooch for a quiet and calm household looking for a quirky and cute senior! Louie is great (independent) with both cats and dogs, so would be fine in a home as the only pet or with other low energy friends. Since he can’t see perfectly, he may get startled with a more high energy roomie! For this reason he would do best in a home without kids.  Louie’s perfect day would involve lots of time with his people getting back scratches, cruising around outside, treats, and lots of snoring naps on a comfy dog bed! He had a rough start to life and will need medication 4x per day for his epilepsy, though he takes meds in pill pockets like a champ! He is on his way to being fully potty trained. He will need regular grooming but got glowing reviews from his prior groomers!  Do you have the perfect couch he has been looking for?

Story
Luigi is a great fun-loving young adult who does great with both people and dogs. He sleeps through the night (can be on a dog bed or in a crate but he prefers the couch with the other dogs), is potty-trained, leash-trained and best of all, great off-leash on hikes with his crew! Luigi would love a home where his people are home most of the time, can take him on outings or to work, or who have another dog to keep him company. If this adorable and friendly guy seems like a fit for you, please fill out an application and come meet him today!

Shih Tzu Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Palo Alto, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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: $850 Meet the Fabric Litter!  These 8 week old Shih Tzu–Yorkie mix puppies—Satin, Angora, and Cashmere—are as soft and sweet as their names suggest. Non-shedding and expected to stay under 10 lbs full-grown, they’re ready to join loving homes where they can continue to grow into confident, happy companions. Though they’re naturally on the shy side, each one has a distinct personality that’s beginning to shine: Satin is the little spark plug of the group—playful, bold, and always ready to stir up a game of chase or a wrestling match. She has no trouble asking for attention and absolutely loves belly rubs. Angora is the mellow soul. Quiet and calm, she enjoys hanging nearby and soaking in the action from the sidelines. While she used to snuggle into her foster’s leg to hide during playtime, she’s now more confident and holds her own when her sisters get rowdy. Cashmere, the largest of the three, is also the most adventurous. She’s a smart little explorer and constantly sizing up the pen for an escape route (she hasn’t made it out, but she’s definitely trying!). Her signature move? A dramatic full-body sprawl known as the “sloot.” These girls spend their days playing, chewing toys, and napping in cozy puppy piles. They’re currently on a routine that includes breakfast around 9 a.m., afternoon chill time in the sun, evening play sessions, and lights out by 9:30 p.m. They're doing well with potty pad training and are impressively clean for a group of tiny wrestlers. Important Adoption Note: Although these pups were raised together, they will be adopted individually. We do not place littermates in the same home to avoid littermate syndrome and ensure each puppy bonds and thrives as a confident, independent companion. The Ideal Home  Each of these puppies would do well in a home that offers: Patience, structure, and positive reinforcement Ongoing socialization and training Plenty of time for play, cuddles, and confidence-building Our Favorite Things  Satin’s confident belly-up demands for attention Angora’s quiet snuggles and peaceful presence Cashmere’s scheming looks and determined attempts to jailbreak These sweet, spunky pups are ready to weave themselves into the hearts of their forever families. Could that be you?June 16, 2025, 1:19 pm
