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

 

Orion is a 1 year old Miniature Schnauzer x Yorkie mix ready to shine bright in the night sky with you! Orion was rescued from a hoarding situation and taken to a local shelter we have a partnership with. We scooped this handsome dude up along with a few of his furry friends and promised to find him a fabulous forever home. Orion has an adorable underbite and a pair of puppy dog eyes that are impossible to resist. He shines brighter than any star in the sky according to all who have met him! Orion weighs 16 pounds. He does have a shedding coat but could be an option for light allergies. Come find your new favorite constellation with out-of-this-world Orion!

 

 

Orion is a glowing constellation of a puppy full of potential and light! We have seen this boy blossom from a scared and confused newly rescued dog to a happy and loving member of his foster family. Orion has gained confidence every day and he’s now strolling confidently around town in his collection of coats and sweaters. Orion is super smart and food motivated so training sessions are a total blast with him. Orion is the typical young dog, he’s energetic when he needs to get his zoomies out but once he’s ready to mellow he’s flopping down for a belly rub and some cuddles. Orion can’t wait to get out and explore all sights California has to offer as long as you are by his side. He’d love to hit the beach, hike some trails, and cuddle up under the stars with you! Our boy will rack up likes on your Instagram with his unique underbite and gorgeous coat! Orion’s dream home is one where he gets all the love and affection he deserves. He has so much to show the world and so much love to give! 

Orion wakes up at 7 AM with a wagging tail as he greets the day! He goes on a quick potty walk before breakfast which he happily gobbles up. During the workday, Orion is content to hang out, but loves snoozing under the desk of his foster mom as she works away. He has a snack during lunchtime and gets some cuddles before he takes another snooze. He goes on a few short walks during the day and cycles between sniffing his toys and investigating all the nooks and crannies of his foster home. In the evening, Orion heads out on another walk followed by dinner around 8 PM. Once he starts to unwind from the day, he’s curling up on the couch as he gets all the cuddles and snuggles he can. He then heads to bed around 11 PM in his pen. 

Orion lives with a few dogs and loves them both. He was polite to the resident cat who couldn’t care less about canine visitors. Orion loves the teenagers and the adults in his home equally, he’s all about whoever’s ready to shower him in love. Orion walks well on a leash but would benefit from additional training and socialization. Orion is ready to become a shooting star and land right in your arms!!

 

 

Orion is an option for homes with recent dog owning experience. Kids should be over the age of 12.

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.
