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: $650 Meet Generation AI — The Smartest, Snuggliest Model on the Market Nickname: Genny Breed: Fun-sized Lab mix Weight: Just 29 lbs (Lab 2.0: same love, less shed space) Status: Fully grown and fully fabulous Children: A litter of future tech moguls (puppies named after AI programs, obviously) If you’ve always dreamed of owning a Lab but wished they came in a more compact, apartment-friendly version, let us introduce Genny—a low-profile, high-capacity love machine designed for maximum cuddles and minimal square footage. Key Features: Sleeps quietly from 10 PM to 8 AM—no nightly updates required Tail wagging, full-body wiggles, and snuggles with the user every morning Affection 11.0 with built-in full-body wiggle mode Cautious with strangers but warms up fast with cookies and kind words Enthusiastic leash deployment reaction, occasional system lag when startled Personality Download: Genny is still in the beta phase of being a confident social butterfly—she wants to be besties with everyone but occasionally glitches into shy mode. She’ll wag her tail like she’s applying for a full-time friendship position but might retreat when hands come toward her too quickly. That said, she bonded with her foster in under an hour and is slowly learning that not all humans are scary—just the ones who don’t have snacks. She’s not really sure what toys are for (other than interior design enhancements), but she’s got a naturally playful streak that says, “Just wait—I’m going to figure this out, and when I do, it’s game on.” And speaking of games—her dorky, toothy grin and joyful wiggle-dance when she’s happy? Straight-up emotional malware. No firewall can block it. Behavioral Settings: House-trained (with a few anxiety-related crate mishaps when left alone—she does better uncrated) Crate-trained and sleeps like a dream Gets along well with other dogs but can thrive as a solo pup Still learning how to play with toys Extremely food motivated (strong enough to break CAPTCHA) Loves gentle reassurance and affectionate conversation Enjoys chewing, so needs appropriate chew options to redirect her enthusiasm Ideal Home: Genny would thrive in a home that can be patient with her initial download time—once she installs her confidence update, she’s a total sweetheart. Whether you’ve got other dogs or you're running a single-pup household, Genny’s happy to be part of your daily programming. Bonus if you like walks, couch cuddles, and goofy grins. Final Summary: Genny is the future of love, laughter, and loyal companionship—an open-source sweetheart ready for her forever user. She might not know how toys work yet, but she’s got your heart all figured out. Adopt Generation AI: now available in adorable 29-lb package, no subscription required.May 8, 2025, 11:17 pm
