Story
Basil is an intelligent, happy-go-lucky dog who is curious about the world around him. He has bursty stamina and is always happy to go exploring out in the world. He Is super nice and sweet 98% of the time. He excels in consistent environments and will mirror the energy that you put into him. He has an innate sense of bodily autonomy and does not like to be grabbed or restricted, and will firmly tell you no if being physically forced. He is not always cuddly, but he will make it very obvious if he wants it. When he does want it, Basil loves being roughly pet and having his head and belly scratched for hours. Basil is well socialized and had consistent and extensive training using positive reinforcement and clicker training growing up. He has great house manner, super smart, potty trained, crate trained, loves agility, walk on leash nicely and can be offleashed. He enjoys hiking, city walk or just hanging out on the couch.

Story
About the dog: Basil is well socialized and had consistent and extensive training using positive reinforcement and clicker training growing up. He has great house manner, super smart, potty trained, crate trained, loves agility, walk on leash nicely and can be offleashed. He enjoys hiking, city walk or just hanging out on the couch. Good with small animals? yes Good with other dogs? Depends. He used to wanting to play with 99% of the dogs before 1.5yr, but gradually became dog selective. Now he’s still great with other dogs if they are just passing by, but it generally takes him some time(days to weeks or even months) to be familiar with the other dogs to be able to off leash together. Once he accepted the other dogs, he’s actually very forgiving and tolerant. Behavioral issue: Although very rare, Basil can show aggression when under stress or feeling conflicted. My health issues makes it really hard for us to have him, so wanted to rehome him to a more fitted home.

Story
Hua Juan is ready to find her forever home! She's appx 1.5yrs old, weights about 28lbs, medium size! She has beatiful interesting markings throughout her coat. She's a sweet pup but still a bit timid to start. She has made great progress and plays well with other dogs. She walks pretty well on leash but loud/sudden noises do spook her still. She will need more time to build up the confidence. She would do well with another dog at home to help her learn quickly and adjusts quicker. She is healthy, spayed, microchipped and vaccinated.

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+.November 2, 2024, 6:03 pm

Story
10 months ago, Duke was found wandering the streets of Stockton, lost and without a home. A kind woman took him in temporarily, but when she could no longer care for him, I stepped up to foster him. Now, after helping him feel safe and loved again, I am seeking a permanent home where he can thrive. 🐾 About Duke Age: Around 2 Breed: Border Collie Mix Temperament: Friendly and sweet-natured. Low to medium drive. He loves cuddling, hanging out with people and going on walks. Health: Healthy, vaccines are up to date (DHPP/rabies), on heartworm and flea and tick med. Duke has come a long way from the shy, uncertain pup he once was. He's now full of joy, greeting every new day with excitement. He gets along well with dogs but can be indifferent with bigger dogs, and he would do best in a home where he gets lot of love and cuddles. If you think Duke could be the perfect match for you, please reach out! Id be happy to tell you more about him and arrange a meet n greet
