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: $850

Coral is a 9 month old Maltipoo who weighs a whopping 7 lbs! She came to us from a shelter in the Central Valley and lit up the room from the moment she arrived. Shy is not a word in this social butterfly's vocabulary. She wants ALL the attention and love!

When Coral first arrived at her foster home, she explored her new digs with enthusiasm and was excited to meet and make friends with the foster dog, cat

and other foster parents. She still continues to be a happy go lucky girl who loves her hoomans and is

super playful. Coral loves belly rubs and playing with foster siblings and toys. She's a velcro dog who

loves to follow humans round to each room She does struggle a bit at first when her hoomans leave, barking and whining, but will settle down after awhile.

Coral's daily routine:

Wake up first thing (6am) with the zoomies, ready to play! Head outside for a potty and poop (usually walk around the backyard encouraging - as she’s a velcro dog). Breakfast then watches foster mom while she gets ready while trying to make the cat and the house dog play. Once ready, time for a morning walk (20 mins). After our walk, get settled in and ready for work. She’s set up to play with toys and foster mom will toss them for her for a short while to tire her out for naptime. We got outside in the backyard every 2-3 hours or when she wakes up from a nap for a little break to stretch our legs with another 20 min walk outside around noon. Then back for a little playing with foster mom then a little nap, also looking out for those passing by until foster mom is done with work. We head out for an evening walk at about 5:30pm for about 30-45 mins. Come back for dinner and an evening playing with toys and bouncing around with the foster sibling until bedtime around 9:30/10 pm for a final poop and pee then sleep in the playpen throughout the night.

Coral wants everyone to be her best friend, LOVES when other dogs visit and instantly makes friends, however still learning boundaries with the house dog and cat when they are done playing. On walks, she wants to greet everyone and say hi! She currently lives with a 23 lb Doodle, a 12 lb foster dog, and the cat, of course. Coral does well pottying outside but still working on potty training. She needs to be let out as soon as she wakes from a nap. She sleeps like a little angel in the playpen but any movement in the morning before you let her out she does whine.

When she first arrived, she had a cone and that didn’t stop her. She was ready for action and love! Nothing stood in her way. Jumping from the couch to chasing the cat. She’ll be your best friend and be by your side no matter what. She’s an explorer wanting to take on the world with you and ALL the toys!

Coral is only an option for a home that has owned a dog in the last 5 or so years and is ready for all things puppy training. She's still very much in that puppy stage! She is an option for a home with dogs and/or cats. She's an option for kids over the age of 6.

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.
