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: $750
Meet Slippers – The Ultimate Cozy Companion!

 

If you're looking for a dog that matches your relaxed, peaceful vibe, let us introduce you to Slippers—the quiet, well-mannered, and snuggle-ready pup who is basically the dog version of your favorite fuzzy house shoes. 

 

At around 4-5 years old, weighing 9lbs, Slippers has perfected the art of relaxation. She has a non-shedding coat that is an option for those who have allergies or simply want a dog who doesn't shed. She starts her day with a morning potty break, followed by a leisurely breakfast and a stroll through the neighborhood, where she enjoys sniffing flowers and taking in the sights. If you're up for a longer walk, she’s happy to accompany you, but if the weather’s not ideal? No problem. She’s equally thrilled to curl up on the couch and enjoy a cozy day in.

Slippers in a Nutshell:

  • Lounge Queen: Loves snuggling on the couch but is not a clingy velcro dog.
  • Quiet & Polite: Rarely barks (unless your resident dog starts first—she’s got their back).
  • Low-Maintenance: House-trained, crate-trained, and has never chewed, teethed, or dug up a single thing.
  • Leash Pro: Walks beautifully without pulling or reacting to people or dogs.

Friendly, But Chill: Sweet with other dogs and has lived with cats.

Her Ideal Home:

Slippers would thrive in a calm, quiet home—either as a solo pet or with another well-mannered dog who enjoys companionship without constant playtime. She’s adaptable, unfussy, and simply wants to be near her humans, soaking up all the love.

Why You’ll Love Slippers:

Slippers isn’t just a dog—she’s a whole mood. She’s the type of pup who will be your coziest movie night companion, your peaceful walking buddy, and the one who makes you wonder how you ever lived without her.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving, and ridiculously easygoing best friend, Slippers is ready to warm your heart (and your couch)!

Slippers is an option for a home that has had a dog previously. If there are children, they would need to be over the age of 10.

Additional adoption info

Doggie Protective Services is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. Our rescued dogs and cats live in foster homes until we can find them appropriate, responsible, loving homes. We carefully screen potential adoptors through an application and interview process. We are a community-based group and invite you to check out our website at www.dpsrescue.com or our very active Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/DPSRescue and keep in touch with real-time adoptions at www.twitter.com/dpsrescue

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.
