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: $700   Flan is an 8 year old Shih Tzu x Lhasa Apso mix who’s as sweet as caramel and ready to make you his perfect family! Flan was surrendered to the shelter with some of his culinary companions due to a change in living circumstances. We were asked to take him in and happily agreed! We scooped up this handsome 10 pound boy and promised to find his amigos! Flan has a light shedding coat so he will require some grooming. If you’re ready to find your new favorite treat, come pick up some Flan!      Flan is a happy go lucky gentleman who can’t wait to make you his world! This dude adores his humans and according to his foster mom he is the best WFH buddy she’s ever fostered, as he is content to lounge near you during meetings. Flan is very even-tempered and fits in well to any environment he enters. He’s super flexible like that. Flan loves being outside and enjoying the sunshine but he isn’t super high energy. We call the window facing the street his “dog tv” as he amuses himself for hours watching the world go by. His current party trick is a fetch fake out… one day he will learn to bring it back he says! Flan lives life to the fullest and we know he will make every day an adventure once he joins your family! From walks to snuggles to playtime, he’s ready for it all!   Flan wakes up around 8 AM and heads out to potty with his foster siblings. After his breakfast, he goes on a short walk before he settles in for a morning nap. Flan alternates between snoozing, cuddling, playing, and sniffing around the yard for most of the day until his afternoon stroll. Dinner is served at 6 PM followed by an evening of play and cuddles. He sleeps through the night on a plush dog bed.  Flan currently lives with several dogs and cats and gets along well with them all. He would be a great companion for a home with a resident pet. Flan walks well on a leash and is working on his potty training. He loves meeting new people and is a great canine ambassador, but would do best in an adult only home. If you’re ready for a culinary companion, come and order some Flan!      Flan is an option for homes with prior dog experience. Kids should be over the age of 12.January 17, 2025, 8:11 pm

Story
I acquired Jasper, our pet dog, from my mother since she was recently placed into a nursing home. We hoped that our dog Teddie would welcome him into our home but from the get go Teddie has let us know he wants to be our only child dog. Jasper is 9 years old, friendly, loving, and wants to please with his energy and affection. He loves to entertain himself by tossing his toys in the air and loves to sit in laps. We are looking for that loving pet owner who wants to enjoy this loving pet as much as our family did!

Story
Meet Trader Joe, the ultimate sweetheart who's ready to steal your heart! This lovable mutt has a soft spot for humans and gets along beautifully with other dogs, making him the perfect furry companion. Trader Joe enjoys life’s simple pleasures like a quick walk around the block, a leisurely stroll in the park, or just chilling by your side. His tail wags like a happy little metronome whenever he sees a friendly face. If you’re looking for a loyal buddy to brighten your days, Trader Joe is your guy. Here's some notes from his foster: Trader Joe is very friendly and social with people, even new humans. He is food-motivated so probably easy to train. Once he warms up to you, loves to cuddle with you and even enjoys some pets. He loves to follows you around the house :) Extremely easy to be left alone at home - pretty much just sleeps in his bed if nobody is around. He seems to be fine off leash with other dogs but on leash he is still working on being calm and relaxed. After two days of being in a new environment, he became house trained.

Story
One of twelve dogs rescued from the Baldwin Park Shelter in Los Angeles to make room for fire victims and evacuees. These were all available for adoption at the Shelter prior to the fires, so owners will not be looking for them. Taking them out was saving their lives so as not to be euthanized early to make room for "fire dogs." These dogs need time and understanding, safe havens, and lots of love and TLC. Your help and support is appreciated!

Story
Meet Stephen. He is a very loveable 9-month old Poodle Mix. Owner says he is ShihTzu and Poodle. Poor boy's coat was a mess so he had to get a big haircut. He is super friendly with people and has a good amount of energy due to his young age. He was living in a home with young kids so should be a good match for a family. Unfortunately Stephan was left only in the garage and back yard but his breed is better to be an inside dog. He will need to learn to be potty trained and all his house manners, but he seems like he will be a great little friend. He responds to "sit" and "stay". He is 25 pounds, so not a tiny guy, and absolutely adorable. He will be neutered on 1/28 so can go home with you the very next day. He will need regular grooming to keep him tidy. $350.00 adoption helps with his neuter, shots and microchipping. Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
