Story
URGENT HELP NEEDED. Bella is an 11-12 year old female border collie who has been my grandmother's faithful companion for many years. She's a sweet, affectionate dog who loves walks and human company. Bella is spayed, microchipped, and generally in good health for her age. Recently, my grandmother suffered a fall after tripping over Bella, resulting in cracked ribs. This incident has made it clear that it's no longer safe for them to live together. At her age, she can no longer provide the care and exercise Bella needs, and we're deeply concerned about the risk of future accidents. Unfortunately, I'm unable to take Bella myself due to restrictions where I live. Bella is good with people, though she can be a bit wary of larger dogs. She particularly dislikes other dogs near her backend. But, she's energetic for her age and would thrive in a home that can give her regular walks and attention. Please reach out with any further questions. I hope someone can help soon!

Story
06/07/24 04:28DOG DAY OUT REPORT Today I: I met two new friends today! I was a bit shy and nervous at first, but once they helped me with my leash and harness, I leapt into the car, all set for adventure. I settled in and felt the wind in my fur while we drove, and I even took a little nap on the way back. We arrived at the park, and my tail couldn`t stop wagging. I saw so many fascinating things: dogs running around, people playing, bikes zooming by, and cars driving past. Everything was so interesting, and my new friends made it even better by giving me lots of treats. I sniffed every inch of grass I could find and discovered new scents. The whole place was full of exciting smells! Then, as if that wasn`t enough, we went to Pet Express. My nose went wild as soon as we walked in. I sniffed all the food, toys, and treats, bouncing from one aisle to the next. The shelves were packed with things I wanted to play with and chew on, and I could hardly contain my excitement. By the end of the day, I was exhausted but so happy. My new friends really knew how to make it fun, and I can`t wait for the next adventure!Three Words to Describe Me are: Curious, energetic, joyful.Notes from My Walker: Bella is a delight. She`s a bit shy and nervous at first. When we met her, she barked at us, and the shelter volunteer had to help us get her harness and collar on. However, once we did, she was ready to go. With a little pull on the leash, she rode beautifully in the car. She showed interest in other dogs, people, and small animals like lizards and birds, but she was always happy to be distracted with a treat or two. We went for a long walk, and she enjoyed sniffing the grass along the way. She took in all the new scents, her tail wagging gently as she explored. Our visit to Pet Food Express was a big hit—Bella sniffed everything, from the aisles of treats to the toys on display, and seemed to enjoy just hanging out in the store. She was fascinated by the different smells and occasionally nosed around in search of treats. On the way back to the shelter, she fell asleep, tired from the day`s adventure. Despite her nap, she woke up friendly and bright-eyed when the staff came to return her. Bella is such a sweet, lovely girl. We need to approach her slowly and calmly at first, but she deserves a home where she can go on long walks or even run and receive lots of love. Her gentle spirit and friendly nature make her the perfect companion for anyone will

Story
04/04/24 13:34notes from foster:Meet Citrine, a vibrant dog bursting with energy and affection. Citrine`s zest and energy is infectious and will thrive in a home with just as much energy. While he may need some guidance in the housebreaking department, Citrine`s eagerness to learn, play and give full-body hugs more than make up for it. His endearing clumsiness never fails to bring a smile to your face, making every moment with him a delightful adventure. Already familiar with basic commands like `sit` and `down,` and fully crate trained, Citrine enjoys winding down by selecting a toy from his basket before settling into his crate for some relaxation after a day of exploration. If you`re ready to open your heart and home to a loving companion who needs patience and training, then Citrine is the perfect match for you.He`s very good with cats. I have a resident cat, and Citrine just sniffs, no shown aggression. He doesn`t lunge at stray cats in the neighborhood either

Story
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 June 29th 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   Earl Grey is a 2 year old Border Collie mix who is ready for a lifetime of tea parties with his forever home! Earl was rescued from the local shelter as part of a hoarding situation. Animal Control stepped in to remove the dogs from a bad situation and then sent up the paw signal for rescue assistance. We jumped into action and grabbed as many dogs as we could, giving them a well-deserved freedom ride! Earl Grey has a fabulous coat with unique markings that any Border Collie lover will adore. Ready for the cutest cup of tea you’ve ever seen? Adopt Earl Grey!    Earl Grey is a loving and handsome gentleman looking for his tea party companions. He is very mellow compared to the expectations for his breed, but he loves his daily romps around the neighborhood. He is very smart and learned “sit” and “paw” within days of arriving at his foster home. Earl Grey has started figuring out the joy of toys and now happily joins his foster parents in a game of fetch. He loves his backyard and would be a fantastic gardening assistant, as long as you give him some crunchy snacks! Earl Grey also loves snuggling on the couch and would be an amazing addition to any movie night. Plus, he’s already providing the refreshments, so what else could you ask for? Earl Grey would love a forever home ready for a perfect tea blend of adventures and snuggles. As long as you brew up love and snuggles, Earl Grey will be your loyal companion for life. For those who love the unconditional adoration the Collie breeds have in unlimited amounts, you’ll be thrilled with our Earl. His foster says he is her favorite dog she has welcomed into her home by far, which is the highest praise from our awesome fosters.  Earl Grey starts his morning around 8 AM with a walk around the block. He trots back inside for his morning meal which he eagerly chomps up. During the day, Earl Grey hangs out in the sun-room, getting his tan on. He would love to have an afternoon tea party in his forever home, where he can get some of his playtime on. He also spends a lot of time romping around the backyard, getting all his sniffs out as he checks out his domain. He gets another walk at 5 PM as the weather starts to cool down and he happily greets all his neighborhood canine pals. After his evening walk, Earl Grey has dinner as his foster family unwinds from their day. He then hangs out in the backyard with his toys until he hops up on the couch for snuggles. After one last potty break, Earl Grey heads to bed. Earl Grey has lived with dogs of all ages and sizes and gets along well with them all. He walks very well on a leash and adores his outside adventures. He politely greets everyone he comes across, from humans to dogs alike. Earl is house trained and currently sleeps on a soft dog bed in the living room. Earl Grey has so much love to give and he can’t wait to find his forever home that will allow him to express it. What more are you waiting for? Step right up to the counter and order a cup of Earl Grey today!    Earl Grey is an option for any home, regardless of prior dog owning experience. He would be a fabulous “starter” dog for a new family. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.July 6, 2024, 11:31 am

Story
She’s been a rescue her whole life, but she’s a beautiful soul full of joy and love. She’s a sun lover and also a great hike companion. Loves everyone she meets but if you asked her she’d say she prefers anyone who gives her pets. She’s great with kids, takes her a moment to warm up (she’s scared of loud noises, but aren’t we all). Luca loves her own bed but won’t complain about a couch or big bed. Normally is quiet but she will bark if you can get her to. Honestly I think she’s part lizard, she loves the heat and would rather avoid the cold, she’s also notorious for being dirty. Sometimes she sounds like a grizzly bear, when she’s sleeping or rubbing against a tree or the house. She’s not a fan of water, hates the rain, and don’t talk to her about a bath. She’s worked years on her signature sent Du De Luca. She’s comes from a very loving home and we are hurt to see her go, but hopefully she can find a family that loves her as much as we do, or more!

Sara is about 5 years old, and was adopted from a foster family out of Sacramento. She is a very sweet dog who wants all the pet and playtime you can give. She loves walks and a treat at the end of each night, and can sleep in the living room or will crate well if asked. She's a lively girl and loves to give hugs when she hasn't seen you in a couple hours. Sara will thrive best in a home with an equally energetic family! She loves to be with around people!
