Story
Want more joy in your life? Need a couch potato buddy? Want to wake up and feel you are the most special creature in the world? Have I got a dog for you! Baby is a sweet gentle 6 year old who loves nothing more than just hanging out with her people. She's house trained, doesn't bark in the house or yard, has the most joyous tail wags, and according to her foster "is one of the easiest dogs I have ever taken care of". She would probably need to be the only dog in the house or can be adopted out with her previous housemate boogie who is also available for adoption.

Story
Love dogs but not the cost of owning one? HAVE WE GOT A DEAL FOR YOU! We are looking for a long term foster for Camilla as the cost of her food and medication is prohibitive for adopters. Camilla is allergic to just about everything so she takes an allergy pill every morning and eats special food which is quite expensive. We are looking for someone in town with a landscaped yard (she’s allergic to dust) and someone who is home a good deal if the time. We will provide all food, medication, and veterinary care. We will also provide a crate as she must be crated when you leave because of separation anxiety. Camilla is crate trained and potty trained. Camilla is so so sweet and gets along with other dogs and kids. She hasn’t been around cats but I expect it’s not a good idea.   If you’re interested in helping Camilla please fill out our foster application. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/BPNovember 5, 2024, 11:25 pm

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: $700   Toby is a 6 month old Boxer x Beagle mix who’s ready to rock and roll his way into your heart! Toby was found wandering the streets of San Jose by good samaritans who did their best to find his former home. When that wasn’t possible, they got him seen by a vet and are now hoping to find him a new landing place where he can grow and thrive. Toby currently weighs around 35 pounds and will probably max out around 50 pounds. If you’re ready for adventure with a canine best friend, come and meet Toby!      Toby is a happy and loving puppy ready to make the world his own! He loves to play with his humans, his toys, and his canine foster brother. He adores his humans and loves knowing where everyone is. He is the perfect mix of active and laid back, especially for a large-breed puppy. According to his foster mom, he is 50% playful and 50% loungey. He loves his long walks though and would be an amazing addition to an active home looking to explore the outdoors. We could see Toby thriving in a variety of homes, as long as there is plenty of love in store for him! He loves having a playful companion but he could also thrive solo! He’s just ready to be your happy and faithful companion. He is also super smart as well as food motivated and has picked up tons of tricks in the time he has been with his foster people. You won’t find a better more amazing companion than Mr. Toby!  Toby wakes up at 7 AM and heads outside to stretch and go potty. He gets lots of pets and hugs before he relaxes as his humans start their day. He has breakfast at 8 AM inside of his crate and then spends some time playing with his toys and relaxing. He goes on a walk around 11 AM before returning home for an afternoon of napping and playing with his toys. At 4 PM he practices some of his tricks before he goes on another walk, followed by some playtime at the park. He has dinner at 7 PM and then plays with his toys. He winds down around 9 PM and heads to bed after one last potty break.  Toby currently lives with a large dog and they get along very well. He loves humans of all ages as long as they will play with him! Toby walks well on the leash and loves his strolls. He is house trained. If you’re ready to find your new pal, come on down and meet Toby!      Toby is an option for homes with prior dog owning experience. Kids should be over the age of 5.March 9, 2025, 6:32 pm
