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, December 21st and Sunday, December 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: $600

 

Mr Grinch is a 10 year old Maltese x Poodle mix who’s ready to steal your heart! Grinch was rescued from the shelter with a few of his Whoville neighbors after a failed attempt at stealing Christmas landed him behind bars. We agreed to rescue him and help grow his heart TEN sizes once he found his forever family. Mr. Grinch weighs 10 pounds and is the perfect size for all the sleigh riding adventures you have in mind. He has a non-shedding coat and is an option for those with allergies. Come share a Who Feast with Mr. Grinch and adopt him today! 

 

 

Mr. Grinch is actually Mr. Happy, according to everyone who’s ever met him! He is a bundle of joy and is ridiculously affectionate. Seriously, if his heart grew any more sizes it wouldn’t fit in his body, that’s how full of love and joy our boy is. Grinch is the perfect “go with the flow” dog, as he’s able to keep himself occupied while you work but is ready to cuddle at the drop of a hat. He is a spry older gentleman and loves to play. He would love to adventure and check out all the holiday lights with his forever people. Grinch is what we would call a velcro dog, as he is happiest when he can be as close to you as possible. He would spend the entire day curled up on your lap getting cuddles if you let him, and it’s hard to say no to a face as adorable as his! Mr. Grinch will show you that sometimes the perfect dog isn’t a puppy, but a dog who has a lifetime of experiences that have prepared him to be your very best friend. Whether Christmas, Easter, or the 4th of July, Mr. Grinch can’t wait to join you on every holiday adventure to come! 

Grinch starts his day around 6:30 AM by following the resident dogs outside for potty before he hops onto the couch for some morning snuggles. Breakfast is served at 7:30 AM and he tends to graze at it throughout the morning. After breakfast, he zooms around inside and outside of the house until he’s ready for a nap. He goes for a walk in the afternoon before returning home for another nap and playtime. He has dinner at 6 PM and then spends the evenings lounging until he’s ready for bed in his crate. 

Grinch lives with two resident dogs and he absolutely adores them. They play and lounge on an endless loop. He walks well on a leash and enjoys his walks. Grinch is crate trained and potty trained. He is the perfect dog for homes ready for a golden aged pup with a heart of pure diamond. Come swing by the Whoville Dog Shelter and pick up Mr. Grinch! 

 

 

Mr. Grinch is an option for any home, regardless of prior experience. 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.
