Story
Introducing Stitch! This handsome boy came to AFRP after he was brought to a local animal hospital for help with a prolapsed rectum. Now, fully recovered he's seeking out his furever home! While he's a looker, Stitch is quite a special boy who requires very specific adopters! Stitch is quite a goofy pup, and with that comes a few quirks; he is dog reactive and although he is working through it with positive training he would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard at this time as well as with potential adopters who have experience with reactive pups. Stitch is also obsessed with being the center of attention and it shows! This means no other animals can be in the home, he wants to be the only pup in your heart! He's a bundle of fun and loves to play with his toys, especially any kind of ball. Stitch is looking for an adopter who has experience with brachycephalic breeds (flat-faced dogs) and understands their continued needs, and possible added medical care. These adorable pups can be a bit more costly! Stitch comes with pre-registration for one-on-one classes to help with his exposure to other dogs and general basic obedience. He will also do best in an adult-only household. Due to these requirements, Stitch may only be adopted to applicants living in Monterey County or surrounding areas (Santa Cruz, etc.). He is currently in foster care. Meet and greets can be scheduled once your online application has been received and approved. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org for an online application.

Story
Meet Mel, our delightful companion born on February 17, 2022, who now tips the scales at 37 lbs. Mel joined our home at 6 months old, coming from an acquaintance’s unexpected litter. Her sweet nature shines through in her interactions, making friends easily with dogs of all sizes. Her curiosity keeps her involved in your activities, whether gardening or decorating. She’s not just a passive observer; Mel loves to be part of the action! Mel thrives on daily walks or park visits, amusingly carrying her ball. She prefers one-on-one playdates over dog parks, as she’s a bit shy around larger groups. As the day winds down, Mel transforms into a cuddle buddy, seeking a cozy spot on the couch next to you. Her loving presence makes every moment special. Mel is looking for a forever home where her playful spirit and loving heart will be cherished. Will you be the lucky one to welcome Mel into your life? - Adoption fee is a donation to “Tiny Paws Rescue”

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: $600   Jenga is a 3 year old French Bulldog who we rescued from the local shelter. A cold kennel is no place for such a handsome guy like Jenga! This dude is all the best parts of the Frenchie breed. Those who know and love Frenchies should look no further than Jenga. We will be prioritizing homes who have experience with this type of breed and are aware of their health concerns. Jenga has seen an eye specialist and is blind in one eye and is missing partial vision in the other. He still sees enough not to bump into things. To be honest, he’s so confident that it took us a few months to notice he couldn’t see too well, which says a lot about him! He doesn’t let a little thing like vision stop him from living his best life. The eye issue is not congential but rather a lack of care. He has damage to the corneas from an injury. Poor dude never got the help he needed to protect his eyes.   Below is a note from Jenga’s foster.  “Jenga is a very sweet dog who would love nothing more than to curl up on your lap and snuggle the day away. He sometimes gets the absolute funniest zoomies when he needs to get bursts of energy out, but he is a total couch potato. Unlike any other dog I have ever fostered, Jenga seems to know when screens are in front of him and loves to show off for attention on Zoom calls, which is a truly amazing skill for a dog who can’t see very well. When the camera calls, it calls!  He is just such a character.  Jenga wakes up around 8 AM and goes for a morning walk about half an hour later. He gets breakfast at 9 AM. When I work from home. he loves to cuddle next to me on the couch or take naps on the floor nearby. He gets another walk at around 6:30 PM and then gets his dinner. He goes to bed with me around 11:30 PM.  Jenga walks very well on the leash. He loves to sniff all the good smells out there and show off his amazing looks to his adoring public. Due to his vision issues, Jenga would do best as a solo dog in his forever home, as he startles easily when he is surprised. This distinguished gentleman is looking for his throne and we promised we’d deliver him one!   Jenga is only an option for those who have prior dog experience, with priority given to those who understand the Frenchie breed. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7. August 19, 2024, 11:27 am

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $800 Gidget is a 9 year old French Bulldog who is ready to live her golden years in style! Gidget was surrendered to the shelter when her former home decided she was too old for them and they wanted a new puppy instead. Well, we think that Gidget is absolutely fabulous the way she is and we told her that when we scooped her out of her kennel. Gidget is 17.8 pounds of love, snores, and Frenchie goodness. Even though she’s older, you wouldn’t know it by the way she lives her life to the fullest every day! We will be seeking a home who has experience with the Frenchie, or similar flat faced breeds, to ensure Gidget lives the rest of her life like the Queen she is!    Gidget is a sweet and loving gal who is looking for her new best friend! She doesn’t let a little thing like a few gray hairs stop her from romping around the neighborhood for walks and the house for playtime. Gidget loves being part of the action and wants to be in on all the inside jokes between her people. While she is independent when she needs to be, she also loves cuddles and kisses. If you love being drooled on by a Frenchie as a sign of love, sign Gidget up for the job! Gidget loves belly rubs and treats more than life itself and she will be your loyal companion if you promise her unlimited access. Gidget has a sense of adventure and loves sniffing around the world as she explores. Gidget is a total sweetheart and will make a great new addition to her lucky forever family. Gidget is a perfect mix of energetic and ready for a nap. She has bursts where she wants to zoom around, followed by a long nap full of snores. Gidget is Miss Personality and she can’t wait to win you over from minute one!  Gidget starts her day at 8 AM (but would happily sleep in as late as you let her) with a quick morning walk after some cuddles. Once she comes home, she gets breakfast at 9 AM, which she grazes at throughout the morning and early afternoon. Gidget spends her morning napping in the sun or keeping herself occupied with her favorite toys, which are currently anything chewy or squeaky. Gidget is very independent and can keep herself occupied when she needs to. She’s a fabulous work from home companion. In the afternoon, Gidget gets another walk where she goes potty and then spends some more time napping. After dinner at 6 PM, Gidget gets a longer walk before she settles in for some TV and cuddle time. After one last potty trip, Gidget heads to bed in her crate at 10:30 PM.  Gidget is a one dog only kind of gal. She gets along with other dogs after a good introduction, but she would prefer to be your one and only. She knows she’s a star! Gidget walks fabulously on a leash as long as you let her get her sniffing on! Gidget is mostly house trained and is good at spending time in her crate. She would be a fit for almost any size house as long as there is space for her toys! Don’t let this amazing pup pass you by, adopt Gidget!    Gidget is only an option for those with prior dog experience, with priority given to those with Frenchie experience. Kids in the home should be over the age of 10.August 19, 2024, 11:27 am
