My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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 Harmony, the 13-pound Maltese-Yorkie mix with the sweetest soul and the fluffiest coat! At 2 years old, she’s a little lady who thrives on love, patience, and a good walk. Harmony might take a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’s all in! She’s got a great balance of playful energy and calm companionship—whether she’s chasing after her favorite ball or lounging at your feet while you binge-watch your favorite show. And the best part? She’s totally housetrained, never had an accident, and doesn’t bark, dig, or chew. Yep, she’s practically perfect! Harmony while a mix of breeds who typically don't shed, because of her wire coat, will shed lightly. 

 

Harmony’s daily routine is simple yet delightful. She’s on your schedule—waking up when you do and settling in for the night around 10:30 PM. Four walks a day keep her tail wagging, and while she’s not one to inhale her meals, she’s always up for a snack (who isn’t?). When you’re out, she hangs around the apartment like a little independent queen, choosing between her comfy bed on the floor or snuggling up at the foot of yours. With a patient approach, you’ll see her confidence soar, especially during her walks and playtime with toys.

 

Harmony gets along well with other dogs, showing relaxed and friendly body language on walks. While she’s not a fan of sudden movements or loud noises, she’d do great in a home with older kids who understand the art of patience and gentle love. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, sweet-natured companion who just needs a little time to trust, Harmony is ready to fill your life with joy, snuggles, and plenty of tail wags!

 

Cute note from her foster: 'When we first met she was hesitant of me and her surroundings, so I gave her the space to explore. Once she found some balls in the corner, her tail was wagging and she was throwing herself the ball! I found it a perfect opportunity to have fun together. She would bring the ball back to me so I could throw it again. It was so cute and funny to watch her

run around with confidence. I know having consistency (a permanent family) in her life will really make her a special girl.'

 

Harmony is a best option for someone who has dog experience and has owned a dog of their own. If there are kids they need to be calmer, quieter and over the age of 10.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
