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 22nd 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. He also is housetrained! 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 21, 2025, 7:59 pm
