My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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: $800

  

Mashed Potato is a 2 year old Maltipoo who is serving up helpings of smiles and love! Mashed Potato was rescued from the shelter as they reached out to us due to overcrowding. We happily agreed to take in Mashed Potato and some pals and away we went on their freedom ride! Mashed Potato has a non-shedding coat that will require regular grooming. He is an option for those with allergies or who want less hair around the house. If you’re ready for the cutest side dish ever, adopt Mashed Potato today! 

 

 

Mashed Potato is a friendly, playful, loving pup who is as sweet as he is adorable! He loves giving kisses and would be thrilled to find a home who wants to give him endless cuddles. He will follow you faithfully if you are lucky enough to be his people. This dude always has a wagging tail and a smile on his face. He makes every day brighter just by being him! Even though he is two, he has a puppy-like personality and loves playing with his toys! Mashed Potato has such a wonderful temperament and energy level. He loves to romp around the neighborhood, where he accepts pets from his adoring fans, but he also loves to kick up his paws and cuddle on the couch with the TV on. He has a knack for rolling on his back and gazing at you with puppy dog eyes that makes it impossible not to bend down and give him some well-deserved affection. His dream home would have an endless pile of stuffed toys and countless cuddles on the couch. He is so friendly and social and will fit in effortlessly to the family who brings him home!  

Mashed Potato wakes up around 7 AM and heads out on a morning stroll around campus. Once he comes home, he enjoys his breakfast as his foster dad gets ready for the day. He snoozes on the couch for a bit before he spends some time playing with his ever-expanding pile of dog toys. He has a lunchtime snack at 1 PM and then goes out for another short adventure. When the workday ends, Mashed Potato gets a long walk followed by dinner at 6 PM. In the evening, Mashed Potato plays with his toys and enjoys his cuddle time. After a long day of being an adorable pup, Mashed Potato goes out for one last potty trip and then heads to his crate for the night. 

Mashed Potato gets along well with dogs and loves playing with dogs around his size. He gets along with people, both new friends and old. He is working on his leash walking skills but is super smart and learns quickly! He would love to attend doggy socials and training classes, because he is always down to make a new friend! Mashed Potato is so excited to get his new adventure started and hopes to shower you in the love he knows he has for you! 

MP recently met our residence cat. He handled himself with the dignity we would expect of gentleman. He was not bothered or even intrigued by the cat. He could join a home that has a cat. 

 

Mashed Potato is an option for a variety of homes, regardless of prior experience, as long as they are prepared for the grooming and training requirements. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
