Story

Slushy is an 8-month-old, 10-pound Yorkie mix. He’s new to rescue and still recovering from a broken leg, but even in his first week after surgery, his happy, playful spirit is shining through. Right now, Slushy is on crate rest so he can heal properly, which isn’t always easy for such an energetic little guy. He’s still very excitable and loves seeing his foster siblings, even though we’re helping him stay calm while he recovers. He enjoys chews and teething toys, which help keep him busy during his downtime. When he gets breaks from crate rest, Slushy loves spending time on the couch with his foster family and soaking up affection. He’s social, sweet, and full of life. He’s been doing great with short potty walks and continues to improve each day. We’re still getting to know Slushy, but so far he has been nothing but loving, resilient, and full of charm. With continued healing and patience, he’s going to make an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a little pup with a huge heart and the cutest recovery glow-up, Slushy might be your guy!

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: $750Meet Cliffhanger and yes, he lives up to the name. Cliffhanger is a 10 to 12 month old Yorkie Cairn Terrier mix who weighs a jaw dropping 4 pounds. FOUR. Pounds. This dog is tiny. He is smaller than a 5 pound sack of sugar. About the size of a Coke can. If you blink, you might miss him. If you sneeze, please check the couch first. Cliffhanger may be small, but do not let that fool you. This little guy has a personality that could scale Everest without a rope. Bonus fun fact: Cliffhanger is so perfectly petite he easily fits under an airplane seat, making him the ultimate co pilot for anyone who loves to travel. Carry on sized. First class personality. Now let’s talk about why Cliffhanger is pure gold. He is charming, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining. He loves his people, adores being part of the action, and has mastered the art of being present without being clingy, which is honestly a rare and impressive skill. He is playful, curious, and confident in that “I’m tiny but mighty” way. He loves toys, bully sticks, food, more on that later, and hanging out with other dogs. Cliff does not just enter a room, he hangs onto your heart and refuses to let go. Warning: once you meet him, you may find yourself emotionally dangling off the edge. Turbulence guaranteed. Cliffhanger’s daily routine is as delightful as he is. The day starts around 6:00 a.m. with a quick 15 minute potty break before his foster heads out. When they return around 9:00, it is breakfast time, and Cliffhanger takes his meals very seriously. He is extremely food motivated and eats from a slow feeder bowl because otherwise he would inhale his food like he is on a competitive eating show. After breakfast, he enjoys another potty break followed by about 20 minutes of outdoor playtime. The rest of his day is a rotating schedule of playing with stuffies, chewing bully sticks, romping with resident dogs, exploring the house, and fitting in expert level naps. Dinner is at 6:00 p.m., with multiple potty breaks sprinkled throughout the day. Cliff wants to be where the action is, but he is also perfectly happy wandering off on his own little adventures. Independent, but social. A true crowd pleaser. When Cliffhanger first arrived, he was scared and overwhelmed. The shelter is a lot for a dog his size. But once he realized he was safe, his true personality came shining through. Today, he is happy, playful, affectionate, and curious about the world around him. He enjoys being near his people, loves engaging with other dogs, and has blossomed into a confident little guy who is ready for his next chapter. Any remaining work in progress moments are handled gently and continue to improve as he gains more confidence, and honestly, they are completely overshadowed by how great he is. In short, Cliffhanger is small enough to fit in your carry on, funny enough to keep you laughing, and special enough to make you fall hard. If you have been waiting for a dog who will leave you hanging in the best possible way, Cliffhanger is ready for takeoff straight into your heart. January 31, 2026, 10:03 pm
