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: $650 *Rocky Road is an option for Foster-to-Adopt!* Rocky Road is the perfect mix of sweet, nutty, and full of surprises—just like his namesake! This 6 year old, 16 pound Mini Aussie-Spaniel mix is packed with personality. He’s got the energy of a double scoop, the devotion of your favorite comfort treat, and just the right amount of crunch (especially when he gets excited for treats!). Whether he’s zooming around the house or melting into you for back scritches, Rocky Road is guaranteed to add a little flavor to your life. Much like a heaping bowl of his namesake, Rocky Road came with a few extra toppings when he first arrived—like a tendency to jump on tables in search of snacks! Now that he’s settled in, he’s showing his softer side. He’s a certified Velcro dog, always sticking close to his foster dad, and loves rolling against you for extra love. While he still wears a belly band indoors as he masters house training, he’s completely crate-trained and often tucks himself in for a cozy nap in his crate with the door open. Rocky Road enjoys a daily routine filled with adventure. He starts his mornings with a walk at 6:30 am, followed by breakfast, and then naps while his humans are at work. Afternoons and evenings bring more walks, lounging in the office, and hanging out with the family. On weekends, he enjoys spending all day with his people, making sure they never have a moment without a little extra sweetness in their lives. He loves toys, will happily toss them for himself, and gets a kick out of barking at other dogs during walks—he’s still learning that not every pup wants to be part of his sundae squad! The ideal home for Rocky Road? One where his people are around often and ready to take him on plenty of adventures—hiking, walking, or maybe even camping under the stars. A yard would be a great bonus for this energetic pup, and older kids would be best since he gets extra excited for treats (watch your fingers—placing them on the ground is the safest way to serve this little guy his snacks!). If you're looking for a dog with a heart full of love, a spirit full of fun, and just the right amount of crunch, Rocky Road is ready to be the sweetest addition to your home!March 15, 2025, 8:58 pm

Story
This is Aussie, a gorgeous and special dog who needs a special adopter. He came to the shelter when he lost his previous owner. He’s full of contradictions: he is shy of handling, but he adores getting out for walks. He loves to pull you along, but he doesn’t like it if you pull him! Aussie will likely do well in a quiet home with someone who likes to read, watch movies, or go on long hikes in the woods. He appears comfortable around other dogs. But he’s not terribly comfortable in new situations or with loud noises. Still, once Aussie is familiar with you, he is very loyal and attentive. He likes affection from people he trusts, especially outside of his kennel safe zone. Aussie also seems housetrained. Come down and meet him to see if you might be his special person. He’s hoping so!

Story
Steel is a stunning chocolate and white Australian Shepherd mix, about three years old and 55 pounds of pure potential. This handsome boy is looking for a special home that understands his shy nature and can give him the patience and love he needs to truly thrive. Steel is dog and cat friendly and would do best in a home with a confident dog sibling to show him the ropes. After arriving at a Central Valley shelter as a stray, he was terrified and completely shut down. But thanks to the dedication of shelter staff, he slowly started to come out of his shell—and now, he’s ready to take the next step toward finding his forever family. True to his Aussie roots, Steel is a highly intelligent dog who will do best in an active home where he can use both his body and mind. He would make an incredible trail dog and a devoted adventure partner for someone willing to build his confidence. Once he bonds, he will be the most loyal and faithful companion. Steel is already fully vetted and making great progress with house and crate training. Now, all he needs is a loving home to help him continue his journey. Could you be the one to give Steel the second chance he deserves? Start Your Adoption Journey Ready to bring home your new furry companion?
