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 16th 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

 

Giblet is a 2 year old Border Terrier mix who’s ready to go on a culinary adventure with his forever home! Giblet was rescued from the shelter when our volunteer arrived to help clear overflowing pens. We jumped into action and scooped this handsome boy up, promising a life of snuggles and love. Giblet weighs 15 pounds and he is just such a fabulously fun-loving little guy. He’s charmed everyone he’s met instantly, it’s impossible not to fall in love with his puppy dog eyes and his brilliant smile. If you have a 15 pound space in your heart for a new best friend, you won’t find a better one than Giblet! 

 

 

Giblet is a loving and loyal dog who’s ready to fall in love with his forever home! Once he chooses you as his person, you are the light of his life forever and ever. Giblet loves nothing more than being wherever his people are. He loves snuggling, whether in your lap or in his favorite bean bag chair. He has a calm temperament and is content to enjoy a stroll but isn’t going to be a marathoner. Giblet loves his playtime when he’s in the mood for chase or toys, but for the most part loves his couch. He also discovered a best friend in the mirror and it is absolutely hilarious to watch him stare at himself for hours at a time. Giblet’s stubby legs make him an adorable little low-rider for those loving the long and low lifestyle. When he goes up on his hind legs he looks like a little meerkat, a pup worthy of his very own National Geographic show. Giblet is a little foodie who enjoys trying new snacks as often as he can. We can totally picture him making daily trips to the coffee shop for a pup cup (he even loves the smell of coffee) or hitting up the pet store for some tasty jerky. It’s pretty hard to say no to a face that adorable, trust us we’ve tried! 

Giblet wakes up at 7 AM and goes right outside to potty and do some morning stretches. He comes inside for breakfast and then heads out on a walk around the neighborhood. During the day, Giblet is pretty low-key energy wise. He’s content to snooze for most of the morning and afternoon, taking occasional trips outside into the yard for potty and sniffs. He goes on another walk before dinner at around 4:30 and then enjoys his evening meal. After he finishes eating, Giblet hops up on the couch for snuggles and cuddles as everyone unwinds from the day. Giblet goes out for one last potty before heading to his crate for the night at 10 PM. 

Giblet has lived with dogs of varying sizes and gets along well with them. He would prefer a home with teens or older as little kids can be a bit loud for him. Giblet walks well on the leash and follows his people loyally. He is house trained and crate trained. Giblet would be best suited for a calm home ready for a loyal best friend for life. He can’t wait to get his next adventure started with you.

Giblet gets along with cats.

 

 

Giblet is only an option for homes with prior dog experience, even if less recent. Kids 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.
