Story
Up until a couple of days ago, Neptune & Mars were long-haired, free-loving hippies - but a recent trip to the salon has transformed them into a clean-cut, close-cropped cuties. Either way, they're absolutely gorgeous! Both of these boys are easygoing cuddlebugs who takes their time to sniff and explore the world around them. They are also great with dogs and kids. This is the duo you've been dreaming about! They are out of this world! *Neptune & Mars' adoption fee has been covered by a superfan!!* Here are some notes from their foster: Mars- will eat anything, anytime, anywhere Neptune- likes a late breakfast and prefers to be hand fed. Mars- loves being outside, wandering around, smelling everything Neptune- loves a quick bathroom break and then right back inside. Mars- loves sleeping on blankets Neptune- loves sleeping in cushy beds Mars- is a quiet boy who goes with the flow Neptune- lets you know what he wants and he mostly likely wants it immediately. Mars- car rides.. hard pass! Neptune- car rides..not a problem Mars- such an independent boy who wants to walk. Neptune- is all about comfort and being carried- he can't be bothered with using his own legs. A few things these bonded boys do have in common are- Both bring each other so much comfort! Both keep an eye on each other throughout the day. Both appreciate a calm environment. Both LOVE cheese. Both have has some tough times in the past and are so ready to start a new chapter of life with their forever person! I love how perfectly they balance each other out! It's been so special watching their relationship unfold. They have so much love to give and are going to make the best addition to any home.

Story
Life is full of ups and downs, and Totter is here to stabilize you! This boy is a puddle of cuddles, with his soft silky coat and his calm demeanor. Totter is here to lend you a paw. He's a mellow fellow who would be the perfect addition to almost any home! Here's some notes from his foster: Totter is a total lap dog. He will use all of his limited energy to climb over any obstacles and into your lap. He has been known to walk over the backs of other dogs to make it into a human lap. He does well with his foster sister (young, medium sized dog) and tries to snuggle her when human laps are not available. He would prefer to sleep in contact with a human or dog at all times. He is very comfortable with a variety of human touch (from men and women) and shows no reactive behaviors. He would do well in a household with lots of human and/or canine snuggles. Totter is very quiet. He hardly makes a peep, though this might be because he is mostly deaf. He is comfortable riding in the back seat of a car and being left alone at home for a few hours at a time. He loves food and takes his medications easily when hidden in cheese or other treats. This sweet boy is looking for a household to spoil him and help him put on some much needed weight. Totter has clearly been house trained. He pees immediately everytime he goes outside and then looks up and wags his whole body. He has some difficulty walking and doesn't seem to want to walk more than a few feet, but he certainly enjoys sniffing the grass, flowers, and trees. If you want a total cuddle bug, Totter is the dog for you!

If life has you riding a teeter-totter and you're looking for some stability, Teeter is ready to be a balancing force in your life and your home!

Story
Johnny B. Goode is a small, friendly, young male dog. He has a great temperament and will make for a great family companion for anyone looking to add a puppy to their home.Johnny B. Goode was transferred to Valley Humane on 9/28 from the Tri-City Animal Shelter. He had been surrendered from a family in a rural area where Johnny's fine coat was not conducive for country living as he's prone to picking up burrs, foxtails and other debris in his fur. Johnny weighs 9.3 pounds.Johnny B. Goode has been diagnosed with skin irritation due to suspected allergies. The signs of allergy are most commonly itching and skin inflammation or infection. Johnny B. Goode has been treated with a topical flea control and started on an allergy medication. A specific cause was not determined. Allergies are generally caused by one of 3 categories: 1. Flea allergy. 2. Environmental allergy (atopy). 3. Food allergy.Have you fallen in love? Ready to adopt?

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.Queen is a 4-5 year old Shih Tzu/ Lhasa Apso mix weighing about 18lbs. Queen was an owner surrender and unbeknownst to us or the previous owners Queen was actually pregnant. We had all thought she was just a little chunky when we met her and as the days went by her belly kept growing. Queen has been in a foster home that has helped her whelp her beautiful puppies and now that the puppies are old enough it’s Queens time to shine on stage and win over her forever family. Queen came into the rescue on the more shy side but you wouldn’t know that now. She is being fostered in a home with 4 other dogs weighing from 10-65 lbs and is doing well. It took her some time to get used to a crazier household with rambunctious dogs but they have all learned to coexist with each other. Queen is not an option for a home with cats.  Queen has been such a fantastic mom to her puppies and has been teaching them the ropes on how to be good little puppies. She was never really into playing with toys but now she’s a toy hog and will happily play with plush toys, a game of fetch or chew on a dog bone. Queen has truly blossomed in her foster home and has become such a happy spirited little girl. She is always smiling and is so excited to see her foster mom when she gets home from work. Queen gets to stay home during the day while her foster parents are at work. She has never really been a fan of the crate and is a more free spirited girl and likes to roam the house during the day. Keep the kitchen counters clear of food as Queen would love to hop on the counter and eat your lunch if given the opportunity. Queen has been doing great with potty training as long as she has access to be able to go out in the backyard as she pleases. She will also use potty pads at night when all the doors are closed. Queen is very much a Velcro dog and would love to be in a home where her new family works from home so she can spend her time cuddling her humans while they have zoom meetings.  Queen is only an option for a home that has owned a dog in the last 3 years. She is best suited for non apartment/condo living. Children will need to be over the age of 8 years old.October 3, 2023, 3:37 pm

Story
Percy is an incredibly nice and sociable doggo! His humans have become disabled and can’t walk him as much as he needs. Percy is 9 years old, a shi tzu beagle mix, and was a rescue from the San Fernando Valley. He’s cuddly and the most wonderful companion dog you could ever wish for. He bonds well with people quickly and loves gifts and treats. He carries his blanket around and will curl up with you any chance he gets.
