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: $650   Dewey is a 2 year old Shih Tzu x Poodle mix who is ready to hit the paw-ty scene with his forever home! Dewey was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Central California that sent out the paw signal for assistance. This lovely boy trotted his way into the heart of his rescuer and he hasn’t looked back since! Dewey weighs around 20 pounds which makes him the perfect size for air travel, errands, or anything else you want to get up to! Deweys beautiful cream-colored coat will require regular grooming to ensure he looks his handsome best. He is not a true hypoallergenic dog but for those looking for less hair, he’s your man!    Dewey is the ultimate love bug who can’t wait to find his new best friend to shower with affectionate kisses. Dewey has a lovely, playful energy and he loves his squeaky toys. If you let him, he would sit on a throne of toys like the royal he is! Dewey has a knack for befriending every human he meets and loves showing off his fabulous personality. He has a fabulous sploot, with his legs rivaling even the greatest gymnast. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to see him in Paris later this summer competing for Team USA! Dewey has a puppy-like temperament and is still very much looking for a playful home where he can show off his zoomies and fetch techniques. He would love to join you on whatever adventures summer has in store, from trips to the beach to nights under the stars. Dog-friendly s’mores? Sign Dewey up for three! Dewey adores his people and would love to be your WFH buddy, as long as he gets out for his daily romps.  Dewey is house trained and crate trained. He gets two walks a day and loves his romps. He knows basic commands (sit, down, stay, off, leave it, place) and is highly food motivated. Dewey is also super smart and would love learning more tricks to increase his repertoire. Dewey would love a backyard for his daily zoomies.  Dewey loves playing with dogs of all ages and sizes. He does have some over eager behaviors on a leash, due to a lack of socialization prior to his rescue. He will need a home dedicated to his ongoing training to ensure he can regulate his excitement on and off leash. Dewey would be a fabulous candidate for a neighborhood where he can practice those skills. He would love a confident dog sibling to continue helping him reach his best self. If you’re looking for a handsome man with a selfie face, look no further than Dewey!   Dewey is only an option for homes who have previously owned a dog. Kids in the home should be over the age of 10.July 26, 2024, 2:33 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $700   Sesame is a 4 year old Shih Tzu x Lhasa Apso mix who is ready to sprinkle joy all over your life! Sesame was scooped up from the local shelter after she was surrendered for reasons unknown. She needed some TLC and a good brushing, which we happily provided her as she started her fabulous second chance at life. Sesame has brightened the lives of all she has met in her foster home and now she is ready for her forever home! Sesame has a non-shedding coat which makes her an option for those with allergies. She will require regular grooming to ensure she stays looking fabulous!      If you are looking for a cuddly, loving new best friend, you’ve met your match with Sesame! This gal would love a life of companionship with her lucky forever family. Sesame adores her people and faithfully follows them as they go about their day. She is quite the neighborhood savant as well, and can happily trot along on her 3-4 mile daily adventures. Sesame wins over everyone lucky enough to meet her with a flutter of her eyelashes or a wag of her tail. Sesame would love to curl up with you on your bed or on the couch at the end of the day as you catch up on your Food Network shows! Sesame is the perfect blend of energy. She is energetic when you strap on her leash for walks but is happy to be a couch potato afterwards. Sesame’s dream home is a home where she can be involved in all the action. If you’re looking for a WFH mascot, Sesame is your gal! We can’t wait to see the fabulous adventures she gets up to once she makes her mark on your heart!   Sesame starts her day at 8 AM with some cuddles before she heads to the door for her morning potty walk. She hits the road with a wagging tail, ready to conquer the day with a smile! After her walk, she gets her breakfast which she enjoys leisurely. She then enjoys some time sitting in the sunshine bird watching. She’s living it up! During the heat of the day, she hangs out in her bed or follows her foster people around the house as they go about their days. She loves cuddling. In the evening, she gets another stroll around the block as she checks out her turf. She comes home for dinner and then hops onto the couch for a long cuddle session. Before bed, she gets one last walk and then she heads to bed in her crate.  Sesame adores other dogs and loves meeting new pups when she’s out and about. She gets along well with people of all ages especially when they shower her with pets. Sesame walks very well on a leash and doesn’t chase little critters. Sesame is fully house trained and hasn’t had any accidents. Sesame is a total love bug designed in a lab to be loved, cuddled, and adored! Ready for the cutest seasoning ever? Adopt Sesame!     Sesame is an option for any home, regardless of prior experience, as long as they are prepared for the grooming requirements of a hypoallergenic breed. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.July 26, 2024, 2:33 pm

Story
Looks like: Shih Tzu, Terrier mix Male, 12 years old (estimated), 10 pounds Hi there, I'm Copper! I'm a friendly, mellow pup who loves sunbathing, snuggling on the couch, and going for walks around the neighborhood. I'm a pro at walking on a leash and I get along well with other dogs, either ignoring them or giving them a polite sniff. I love meeting new people and enjoy cuddling with all humans. I'm not much of a toy enthusiast, but I do have a soft spot for greenies. Car rides are a blast, especially when I get to feel the wind on my face. Want to know something cool? I know how to use a doggie door! I really enjoy knowing my people are present with me, and I'll let you know if I want some attention by talking to you. I'm looking for a home with people who appreciate my independent nature but also love to snuggle. I'm the type of fellow who enjoys life to the fullest, so if you're looking for a loyal, laid-back companion, I'm your perfect match! Can't wait to meet you! Sadly, Copper joined us after his guardian passed away. We're heartbroken that Copper had to experience this loss, but we are excited to see him bring joy to his next family.
