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 the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, December 13th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance.   Adoption fee: $650 Meet Bright — a gentle 5–6 month old ACD/Shepherd mix with a soft spirit, a sweet heart, and the makings of a truly devoted companion.   Bright weighs about 18–20 pounds and came to rescue with his sister Merry. Bright has been blossoming at his own pace — and watching that transformation has been one of the most rewarding parts of fostering him.   A Quiet, Sensitive Soul Learning to Shine   When Bright first arrived, he was so frightened that he clung to his foster for comfort, unsure of the world around him. Today, he has made tremendous progress. He now follows his foster gently from room to room, curls up beside her during the workday, and checks in with soft eyes to make sure he’s still close to his person. He’s a classic little velcro dog who enjoys companionship and feels most secure when he can keep his trusted human in sight. Bright isn’t a natural cuddler yet — he prefers to quietly settle next to you or rest at your feet — but he gladly melts in for head rubs and chin scratches once he feels safe. His sweetness is unmistakable.   Daily Routine & Good Manners   Bright starts his day early with a 6 a.m. potty trip in the backyard, then tucks back in for more sleep until around 8 a.m. He enjoys a couple of short walks each day, plus backyard potty breaks every few hours. He’s been improving steadily with housetraining and usually goes in the yard where he feels comfortable. He’s still working up the courage to potty on walks, but he’s trying hard and happily celebrates with a “puppy party” when he succeeds. He eats two small meals per day (½ cup AM and PM). Because he was initially scared around food, he often prefers to finish his meals when no one is watching — but he’s gaining confidence daily and now enjoys treats, training games, and chewing a cow’s ear while relaxing.   Bright is wonderfully polite: he doesn’t bark, doesn’t jump on furniture, waits patiently at doorways, and rides calmly in the car in his crate with his cushy liner. He sleeps quietly at night on his chosen cozy spot (currently a handmade felted purse he flattened into a self-made bed!).   Training & Emerging Playfulness   Bright LOVES training games. He proudly knows Touch, Find It, and Leave It, and responds to his name with enthusiasm. These little wins have been huge for his confidence. While toys are still a bit new and intimidating, he’s slowly exploring them — nibbling on tags, investigating Lambie, and watching with interest. Because he listens closely, wants to please, and is incredibly gentle, he will be a joy to continue training as he grows braver.   Out and About   Bright walks well on his harness, stays close, and doesn’t pull. He’s afraid of loud noises (leaf blowers, squeaky shoes, sudden sounds) and can be nervous when cars pass, but he recovers and keeps trying. He doesn’t react to other dogs — he simply watches calmly and keeps moving. He’s also gone on several weekend adventures, from outdoor breakfasts to strolls through downtown San Carlos and even to a knitting shop in San Jose. He stays close to his foster’s feet, quietly taking in the world without begging or fussing.   Why Bright Is So Special   Bright is the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart. He tries so hard to be good, listens beautifully, and has a sweetness that shines through even when he’s unsure. His pretty ACD-style spotting, his attentive nature, and his soft, expressive face make him unforgettable. As his foster says, “He just wants to do the right thing all the time.”     Bright is ready for a family who can help his confidence continue to grow and who will treasure the sweet, sensitive companion he is. Whoever adopts him is going to be very lucky.  December 14, 2025, 4:46 pm

Story
Adopt Cedar This Handsome boy has been looking for a home for quite sometime. He was rescued at just 4 months old back in April 2024. All of his siblings found loving homes already. Cedar took some time to open up but Cedar loves the outdoors now! He is shy but playful, great with other pups, curious, and smart (taught himself the dog door on his own), food motivated which is a bonus for training! He’s crate trained, potty trained and just a stunning hound mix who was kill-listed and a true survivor! Cedar is ready for patience and love. He sleeps through the night and is learning to trust humans more and more everyday. Originally he is from the Coachella Valley, Animal Shelter and saved on Easter Sunday. ?We are very thankful for everyone that has helped all the siblings! ? With a total of eight fearful puppies who had nowhere to go. Now they have all one by one come out of their shells at their own time. We would love for Cedar to find a home where he could relax and decompress. These puppies definitely needed love and patience, and they are opening up a little by little. Cedar is one and a half years old and most likely a cattle mix dog who is, great at running and loves dogs! He is located in San Diego California.September 2, 2025, 8:41 am

Story
Banjo is a gentle, loyal dog looking for a calm home and a person who loves the simple comfort of having a quiet companion by their side. He settles at your feet, follows you from room to room, and brings a soft ease to the day just by being near. He loves slow mornings, warm light through the windows, soft blankets, and the peaceful rhythm of being close to his person. Inside he is intuitive and easy to live with. Outside he enjoys fresh air, walking, and exploring. He takes in the world with curiosity. Banjo is looking for a peaceful adult-only home because busy or unpredictable environments can feel overwhelming for him. In a quiet space he shines and becomes affectionate, steady, and deeply connected to the person he trusts. If you are hoping for a calm, intelligent, and loving companion who brings warmth and quiet joy into your home, Banjo may be the good boy you have been waiting for.
