Story
Chowder starts off shy but once he checks out his enviroment and you, he`s all zoomies and play. He`d be great in a home that understands he can get overwhelmed and introduce him to new things with lots of treats and praise. Like any younger dog, he is full of energy. He does fairly well on a leash but he could use some more practice. He is being treated for possible skin allergies at this time. He will need to see your personal vet for follow up and a care plan that is likely life long.

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   Stinky Cheese is an 8 year old Maltese x Yorkie (Morkie) mix who is as handsome as he is loving! Stinky Cheese was surrendered to our rescue when his former home no longer had time to care for him. Well, we took him to the dentist and after some TLC (and a few teeth pulled) he was ready for his second chance at a fairytale ending. Stinky Cheese has adorable ears and an even more adorable little face. What more could you ask for? Stinky has a light-shedding coat so he could be an option for those with minimal allergies. You won’t find a cuter cheese than our Stinky Cheese!      Stinky Cheese is a loving and loyal gentleman who adores his people more than anything. He loves finding a lap to spend his afternoon snoozing in and he loves soaking up the sunshine as he gets his tan on. He would love a home where he can sleep in your bed, curled up by your feet. This dude is a total lap dog and would thrive in a home where he can create his very own spot on the couch. Once he got his dental done, he was the world’s happiest dog and we have loved seeing him blossom! Stinky Cheese would love a home ready to show him the world but also let him live out his golden years in comfort and style. His dream home is one where he can be the apple of your eye. He would be the perfect work-from-home buddy as he just wants to live his life alongside you. This sweet cuddlebug just wants to show you all the love in the world! Bring this adorable gentleman home and he will be your bestie for life!  Stinky Cheese starts his day at 8 AM with a trip outside before he gets his breakfast. He then settles down for a morning snooze as his foster mom gets her day started. During the morning and early afternoon, he follows his foster mom around the house as she goes about her day. He is a very chill dude. He gets a walk at 4 PM and then has his dinner at 5 PM. In the evening, he snoozes and gets more cuddles. Around 11 PM, he goes out for one last potty trip before he heads to his soft bed for the night.  Stinky Cheese lives with another dog and they fit together seamlessly. Stinky Cheese is house trained and crate trained. He trots along the resident dog during his daily walks. Cheese has won over everyone lucky enough to meet him and we know if you are lucky enough to meet him you won’t be able to resist wrapping him up and taking him home! What are you waiting for?     Stinky Cheese is an option for any home, regardless of prior experience. He would be an amazing first dog. Kids in the home should be over the age of 9.August 19, 2024, 11:40 pm

Story
Mr. Little Potato Head! What a great name. To our best knowledge, probably a maltese poodle mix, he's approximately 3 years old and weights about 14 pounds. He is great with people and children. He walks well on a leash but does like to bark at other dogs, but will settle when you correct him. He loves to eat and is very food/treat motivated. He must have had a family before as he settled in with his foster very easily. He does well in car rides and loves his daily walks. Are you ready to incorporate him into your family!? SF Bay Area Adoptions only, please email if interested.
