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: $750   Meet the Sauce Puppies!   12–14 week old Yorkie Mixes   Marinara • Alfredo • Pesto       Get ready to fall in love with The Sauce Puppies, three delightfully spunky Yorkie mix siblings who bring the flavor—and the fun—to every room they bounce into. Affectionately known as The Saucies, these pups are the perfect mix of playful chaos, cuddly charm, and heart-melting wiggles.       Daily Life with the Saucies:   These bouncy pups follow a late-ish but reliable routine: meals at 7:30 AM, 3:00 PM, and 10:30 PM, featuring kibble with a gourmet twist of boiled chicken. But don’t be surprised if they abandon their bowls mid-meal just to greet you with tail wags and puppy kisses—they live for human interaction. When not munching or snuggling, their favorite group activity is a three-way tug-o-war with a hand towel or chasing each other in delightfully chaotic loops.       They’re doing well with bigger dogs, find cats interesting (but from a respectful distance), and absolutely adore humans of all sizes. Expect ear licks, joyful wiggles, and the occasional enthusiastic leap into your face (we’re working on that last part!).       Meet the Trio:       Marinara – The Boss of Sauce   Marinara runs the show with gentle authority. She lets her siblings eat first, then politely cleans up what’s left. She’s playful, smart, and definitely the ringleader—but never too busy for fun. She’ll offer a sit (sometimes) and a dash of sass, and she’s always ready for action.       Alfredo – The Goofball   Alfredo is all about the details—he’ll pick his favorite kibble bites like a true connoisseur and is always the first to locate a sneaky escape route so he can go explore! He’s the most playful of the bunch and loves nibbling ears in between licks. Alfredo is your guy if you’re looking for a pup who will keep you laughing and on your toes.       Pesto – The Sweetheart   Once she gets her zoomies out, Pesto is all heart. This tender little snuggler seeks out your lap, offers kisses freely, and may just sit on command because she wants to please. Her soulful eyes and gentle nature will melt even the toughest of hearts.       Ideal Home:   These pups are looking for loving homes that can keep up with their energy, provide plenty of playtime and cuddles, and continue their socialization. They’d do great with other dogs, respectful kids, and humans who enjoy equal parts puppy chaos and unconditional love.        May 8, 2025, 1:15 pm

TAZZIE

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Schnauzer (Miniature)

Female, 2 yrs 2 mos
Oakland, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
SEPT 2024: Miss Tazzie is a very affectionate & companionable girl who likes to keep her person in sight at all times-i.e. she will follow whenever her person moves into another room or outside, and becomes quite vocal when left behind; also VERY vocal with pleasure at her person’s return, only quieting down once her person enters the home, sits down & says SHUSH. For this reason TAZ needs a detached home with yards, rather than an apartment building, and preferably another canine housemate to play with; If you can provide a suitable environment for a dog with vocal separation anxiety, please revisit Wrenyorkierescue.org & read the “how it works” section to understand the Rescue process, or text the number below to request a fill-in-online application if you don’t have a printer.

Story
This is our sweet Jessy. She has been with us for a while because she is old and almost blind. Even though she is adorable, we know she doesn't have the best figure or eyesight. But to us, at the rescue, she has the BEST personality. She is always in the middle of everything, enjoying herself and asking for attention and love. Basically, hope in the form of a dog!!!! She knows her way around the entire rescue facility...stairs and all! We all want her to have a home...foster or adoption. We believe she will get to know your home because her spirit will force her too!!!! But probably best to not have too many stairs. You aren't getting a young dog, but, you are getting a few good years with a SWEET dog! We hope you consider Jessy and give us a call at the number below. We will walk you thru the foster or adoption process. Thank you for considering Jessy!

Story
Please meet Augie. He is such a calm, sweet guy. He NEEDS a home. He is so gentle that he just doesn't do well in a rescue situation. It can be a foster home or a forever home. But a home he needs! He has gained some weight in rescue but with regular walks and outings, I am sure he will get back to a good weight. He does well with other dogs but he prefers to just stay out of trouble and clear of hoopla! I just know he would LOVE to have someone to spend time with him. Doesn't need much...just some love. If you think Augie might work in your life, please text your interest to be sent on online application form or print your own from the Forms section at wrenyorkierescue.org as well as reading the “how it works” section to understand the Rescue process. Again, even a foster would be wonderful! As a foster, if you live near the rescue, we will supply his food. Thanks for considering sweet Augie.
