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.This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, March 8th from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.     Adoption Fee: $500 Flan is an 8 year old, 10-lb Shih Tzu-Lhasa Apso mix who’s as sweet as dessert and just as comforting! Like the classic treat he’s named after, Flan is a smooth, easygoing gentleman ready to sweeten up your life. Surrendered to the shelter with some of his culinary companions, Flan caught our hearts with his soulful eyes and chill demeanor. We couldn’t resist scooping him up and promising him a forever family that appreciates a refined palate and an even more refined pup. Looking for a best friend who’s equal parts cuddly and cool? Order up some Flan—you won’t regret it! Flan’s got the best of both breeds: the affectionate, loyal nature of a Shih Tzu and the independent, adaptable charm of a Lhasa Apso. He’s an expert at relaxing but also perks up for playtime with his beloved squeaky toys and a good game of fetch (though he might pull a fast one and keep the ball for himself). His favorite hobby? Taking his toys to his bed to enjoy them in comfort. Flan is a champion leash walker, loves sunshine strolls, and can turn any window into “dog TV,” happily watching the world go by for hours. When the day winds down, he’ll happily nap beside you—or on you—so you’re never short on snuggles. This little guy has excellent house manners. Flan prefers to potty outside but will use a pee pad if needed, and his foster reports he’s stopped territory marking indoors. When he’s ready to call it a night, Flan puts himself to bed in his crate (or anyone else's if it looks cozy enough) and can sleep a full eight hours before his morning potty break. He grazes on meals, politely letting other dogs finish his food—but don’t think about touching his cookies! He’s known for hiding his treats under blankets like a true treasure hoarder. Flan’s communication skills are top-notch. He uses a soft, grumbly noise to say “no,” but charmingly enough, he makes the same sound with a tail wag to say “yes.” Flan currently lives with multiple dogs and cats and gets along with them all, making him a great companion for homes with other pets. While he loves meeting new people and is a fantastic canine ambassador, Flan thrives best in an adult-only home where his laid-back vibe can truly shine. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, affectionate, and entertaining friend to sweeten your days, Flan is your guy. Why settle for ordinary when you can have Flan—a treat that never melts and always warms your heart? Flan is an option for homes with prior dog experience. Kids should be over the age of 12.  March 14, 2025, 8:38 am

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $950 Matilda the Marvelous: The Pocket-Sized Pup with a Big Personality!  If you’ve been searching for a dog who’s as brilliant as the storybook Matilda, look no further than this pint-sized wonder! Matilda is a 10-12 month old Maltipoo, a magical mix of Maltese and Poodle, meaning she’s non-shedding, hypoallergenic, and perfect for anyone who loves a cuddly companion without the extra vacuuming. Weighing in at just 7 lbs, she’s travel-sized for your convenience—whether that’s to the office, your favorite dog-friendly café, or a weekend adventure. Matilda is equal parts brain and heart: she’s confident, friendly, and always ready to charm everyone she meets. A Day in the Life of Matilda 7:30 AM - The Morning Ritual Matilda wakes up when you do, stretching her tiny legs before trotting outside for her morning potty break. Then it’s breakfast time—her favorite meal of the day (besides dinner, of course!). After a little digestion time, she’s ready for a quick walk around the neighborhood, where she proudly struts her fluffy coat, greeting passersby with a tail wag. 9:00 AM - Office Time! Matilda is a fantastic work-from-home or bring-to-the-office pup. She’s already excelling in her role as 'Chief Cuddle Consultant' at her foster mom’s workplace, where she spends the day snoozing in a cozy spot, soaking up attention from coworkers, and taking midday potty breaks and strolls around the building. If you work from home, expect her to keep you company under your desk or curled up beside you—offering emotional support in the form of tiny snores. 5:30 PM - Playtime & Dinner After a day of “hard work,” it’s time for dinner, followed by a burst of playful zoomies. Matilda may be small, but she’s full of spunk! She loves to wrestle with her foster dog sibling, chase after toys, and engage in a little sassy “talking” (a deep, funny growl that sounds hilarious coming from such a tiny pup). 10:00 PM - Sweet Dreams After one last potty break, Matilda happily tucks herself into her crate for the night, sleeping quietly until morning. She’s a dream dog—literally and figuratively! A Leading Lady with a Big Personality Much like her namesake, Matilda is whip-smart, independent, and full of confidence. She adores people and dogs alike, making friends wherever she goes. She’s playful but not hyper, affectionate but not clingy—she’s that perfect balance of fun and snuggly. She’d love to have a friendly dog sibling but would also thrive in a home where she gets plenty of attention from her humans. Despite her tiny size, Matilda has a big-dog attitude. She’s not timid or shy—she marches into new situations with curiosity and charm. If you want a pup who’s ready to join you on brunch dates, coffee runs, and park outings, Matilda is your girl. She’s the perfect conversation starter, guaranteed to turn heads with her adorable face and cheerful demeanor. Maltipoo Perks & Care Maltipoos are known for their low-shedding, hypoallergenic coats, which makes them a great option for allergy sufferers. However, their soft, curly fur requires regular brushing and grooming to keep them looking like the fluffy little clouds they are. Matilda will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep her coat in tip-top shape. The Perfect Home for Matilda Matilda would thrive in a home where she gets plenty of attention, whether that’s from another playful pup, a dog-friendly office, or a person who can spend lots of time with her. She’d be great with older, respectful kids and would likely do well with a dog-savvy cat. She’s nearly house-trained when kept on schedule and is already crate-trained. If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts playful, snuggly, and full of personality—Matilda is ready to write her next chapter with you. Could you be her happily ever after?

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $700 Meet Tuna Melt: The Mellow MaltiPoo with a Flair for Fluffing! If you’ve been craving the perfect dog, consider this your sign—Tuna Melt is fresh off the rescue menu and ready to be your main course in love and companionship! This 5-6 year old, non-shedding MaltiPoo is the ultimate blend of sweet and savory: a chill little guy with a soft, hypoallergenic coat, a heart full of love, and a mild obsession with “fluffing” anything that isn’t nailed down. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter, Tuna Melt arrived a little shy but quickly warmed up with the help of his MaltiPoo foster buddy. Now? He’s as comfortable as a freshly fluffed pillow. He spends his days following his foster mom around the house (not in a clingy way—more like a polite food critic keeping an eye on the chef). He enjoys a solid 45-minute to 1-hour walk every day, greeting people and dogs alike with the perfect balance of friendliness and nonchalance. If you’re looking for a high-energy fetch fanatic, he’s not your guy. But if you want a companion who’s happy to stroll beside you, lounge by your feet, and politely observe the world? Tuna Melt is served! Now, let’s talk about his talents—because this dog is seasoned in the art of being adorable. First, he’s a professional fluffologist. Rugs, blankets, jackets left on chairs—if it’s fluffable, Tuna Melt will fluff it. You might think your living room is fine as-is, but Tuna Melt insists on some interior design adjustments. He also excels in crate training, enjoys bully sticks, and has never met a dog he didn’t like. He even welcomes houseguests, from Havanese to Chihuahuas, with open paws. No unnecessary drama here—just chill, friendly vibes. Tuna Melt is almost fully house-trained (just a bit more time and consistency should do the trick). He barks appropriately—mailman? Yes. Foster mom coming home? Of course. Random imaginary ghosts? Nope. He’s also shockingly fearless; while most dogs flee the vacuum, Tuna Melt just lounges in its path like he’s daring it to try him. He’s even cool with baths and blow-drying. Truly, an icon of relaxation. The ideal home for Tuna Melt? One where he gets to spend time with his humans or has another friendly dog to keep him company. He’d be a perfect work-from-home buddy—content to nap while you work but always up for a nice walk when you need a break. He doesn’t demand constant attention, but he does demand a properly fluffed nap spot. In return, you’ll get a loving, low-maintenance, utterly delightful companion. So, if you’re looking for a pup that’s equal parts cozy and classy, Tuna Melt is waiting for you to place your order. Apply now—before someone else snags this perfect pup off the menu!March 15, 2025, 2:47 am
