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 Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, April 5th from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered. Adoption Fee: $750   Frisbee is a 1 year old Shih Tzu mix with a playful, energetic personality and a heart full of love. Frisbee was rescued from the shelter where he was left for reasons unknown. This 17 pound pup is ready to make the most of his second chance and bounds towards adventure with a grin on his face! He has a non-shedding coat and is an option for those with allergies. Come toss the cutest Frisbee ever!    Frisbee has been a friendly and extroverted pup since he first arrived in his foster home. His curiosity and energy are boundless, especially when it comes to exploring his surroundings. He has no problem entertaining himself by roaming the yard, but when he's inside, he loves nothing more than curling up next to a human for some cuddles. Frisbee is equal parts adventure-seeker and snuggle bug, always ready for a game of fetch or a cozy nap on the couch. While he’s still a little independent, he’s also a Velcro dog, often following his foster family around the house to see what they’re up to. Frisbee would thrive in a home with a yard where he can explore, sunbathe, and chase a ball at his own pace. He loves spending time outdoors, and a yard would allow him to burn off energy and indulge his curious nature. Frisbee is a truly sweet dog who is always ready to be loved, and he’ll make a wonderful addition to any home. His favorite thing? Belly rubs and smiling, which he does often! Each day begins for Frisbee at around 7 a.m. when he wakes up in his crate and heads outside for some exploration time. After his morning adventure, he comes inside for breakfast, then spends the day either roaming the backyard or napping peacefully indoors. Frisbee enjoys daily walks, and one day he even managed to walk an impressive 4 miles! In the evening, he enjoys his dinner around 6 p.m. and is ready for some downtime. By 9 p.m., he’s happy to settle in for the night in his crate, sleeping soundly until the next morning, when he eagerly lets you know he's awake and ready to start his day. Frisbee lives harmoniously with other dogs, including a large dog in his foster home. While they don’t play together, Frisbee enjoys hanging out nearby and respects his larger housemate’s space. He’s also been a hit with the foster family’s two kids who love throwing his ball, playing with him, and snuggling. He’s a well-behaved pup, though he does require some basic training, especially when it comes to leash walking and basic commands. He tends to pull on the leash and has developed the unique ability to walk in circles while still moving forward, but he’s not reactive to distractions during walks. Come and find our Frisbee on the grass and take him home!    Frisbee is only an option for homes who have owned a dog previously. Kids should be over the age of 10.April 3, 2025, 7:15 pm

Story
Libby (4 years old, 11 pounds)  has a warm, affectionate, and loyal personality. She’s a playful social butterfly, always eager to make new friends—human or canine. Her enthusiasm for life makes her the kind of dog who brings energy and joy wherever she goes, always ready for a game of chase or tug-of-war. Despite her playful side, Libby is also a devoted cuddle bug. She thrives on affection, happily curling up next to her favorite person whenever given the chance. Whether snuggling on the couch, resting her head on your lap, or leaning against you for comfort, she’s always seeking connection. Libby's loyal and shadow-like nature means she follows her favorite person everywhere, watching them closely as if she were their little guardian. Whether you’re walking from room to room or heading out for an adventure, she’s right there, wagging her tail, ready to be by your side. She’s the perfect mix of fun-loving, affectionate, and loyal, making her an irresistible companion who brings laughter, warmth, and love into every moment. Energy Level?  Medium- she's playful and enjoys long walks but loves downtime.  House trained?  Partially. She will go potty outside when taken out but hasn't gone potty on walks and has had a few accidents while adjusting to her foster home. Describe how they are on leash?  She's a fast walker! She was a little shy at first, walking behind me, but has slowly become more confident and loves walking with the resident dog, who she is happy to allow to lead.  Describe how they are with other dogs?  She's very excited to see other dogs and is very friendly and playful.  Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  She is long with another dog and gets along with him. At times, she lets him know her boundaries but nothing overly aggressive.  Commands they know?  No. Off. Come. Maybe sit.  What are their favorite things?  Treats. Kissing her favorite people.  What do they need to work on?  Potty training, jumping on tables, and confidence—not following to every room.  How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  Only for a few hours so far, but she was good. She is also okay in a crate. Where do they sleep?  She sleeps in her crate (she seems to like it) and will join us in bed towards the morning.  What is their ideal home?  In a perfect world, one family member would be a remote worker or not leave the house as often, although she doesn't have signs of separation anxiety. She would do well with grass in a secured yard and another friendly dog. She may also do well with kids as she loves to play and doesn't seem to have any aggression. She needs someone willing to reinforce potty training and give her lots of chew bones since she likes to chew. Someone who loves sweet, soft cuddles and a loyal companion. Our Adoption fee is $325.   For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online application:   www.everypetsdream.org/adopt  and  we will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us:  Facebook  and  Instagram .

Story
Roxy is playful and likes playing fetch. She is not spayed. She does not like being approached by dogs or people when on a leash. She is very affectionate and likes going for walks. She does have an umbilical hernia that would be removed if spayed. It has not caused her any problems. The vet told me she was healthy and a good weight at her last visit this February. She is up to date on all shots.
