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.



This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, November 2nd 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: $600

 

Sunflower is a 1 year old Border Collie mix who is ready to bloom in her forever home! Sunflower was rescued from the shelter when they reached out for assistance due to overcrowding. We happily took her in and it’s been sunshine ever since. This gorgeous gal weighs 39 pounds and has an absolutely gorgeous coat. She is ready for a lifetime of nature hikes and adventures with her lucky forever people! If you’re ready for some fall blooms, adopt sweet Sunflower today! 

 

 

Sunflower is a loving, playful, joyful gal who is as smart as she is adorable! This girl was shy at first but quickly blossomed into a fun-loving, happy dog! She is super smart and alert, always loyally following her people around. She loves her toys, eagerly learning new tricks while keeping an eye on her favorite toy. Sunflower would be a fabulous addition to an active home looking for an adventure companion. If you have a bucket list of dog-friendly activities, Sunflower is the perfect pup to bring along! Sunflower is the perfect Border Collie, she will faithfully follow her people anywhere they want to go, but she is also content to keep herself occupied when she needs to. What a dream girl! She also has a bright smile and a personality that brightens any room she enters. Sunflower also has a joyous playful bark that she lets out when her tail wags and she gets ready for a game of catch. You’ll want to spend all your time playing with her! Sunflower can’t wait to bring a lifetime of love to her new people! 

Sunflower starts her morning at 8 AM with breakfast and a snuggle. She then either spends some time playing in the backyard or heads out on a walk. As her foster people get ready for the day, she plays some more with her toys and checks out the nature tv (the window). After a morning nap, she spends some more time in the yard and playing inside the house. She snoozes some more until her foster parents come home. She heads out on a sunset walk around 6 PM and then comes home for dinner. She hangs out on the couch as she unwinds from the day, loving on her people. After one last potty break, she settles in for the night at 10 PM. 

Sunflower gets along with other dogs and is figuring out this whole “playtime” thing. She loves people and can befriend anyone she meets. Sunflower is well trained already, she picked up “sit”, “down”, and “stay” quickly with her foster people. She walks well on a leash and loves her walks. Sunflower is ready to find the forever home that will show her all the love she deserves. If you’re looking for your new best friend, you’ve found her with Sunflower! 

 

 

Sunflower is an option for homes with prior dog owning experience. Kids in the home should be over the age of 10+.

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.
