Story
We found these dogs a couple weeks ago in Campbell, Ca. We put up posters, posted on multiple websites, and took them to see if they were microchipped but no luck. When we first found them they were a bit timid but once they warmed up, they're running through the house like they own it. We don't think they are house trained. We are currently working on potty training, leash walking and "here" but they seem to be fast learners. We have noticed that they do chew on things. We taught them how to use the doggy door and they come in and out as they please. We have noticed that they will be rambunctious for a couple hours until they want to cuddle up and nap with someone. They get along great with our 3 big dogs and with everyone they have met. They will need a well fenced in backyard or they will escape. We want to find a home that will take both of them as they are attached at the hip.

Story
Boy and Girl (whom we're calling Ralph and Littles) were found in Campbell, CA in December. We looked checked for microchips, put up flyers, and posted on multiple online sights but no such luck. The dogs took a few weeks to warm up to us and but were comfortable with our 3 big dogs almost instantly. At the beginning they were very timid but after a couple weeks, they were running around all over the place. We did notice that the dogs warmed up to the women in the house a lot quicker than the men in the house (about 2 weeks vs 6 weeks). UPDATE: the dogs were recently on a 2 week trial but the couple decided it was not going to work out which is why they are posted again. They said the dogs were very sweet but were scared of the husband so it was had for only the wife to take care of the dogs when they both worked full time. The couple had taken them to the vet and said the boy is about 3-5 years old and the girl is about 1-2 years old. They received a rabies shot and a flea dosage.

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.Adoption Fee: $250 Thank you to Sydney K. for her generous donation towards our Sticky Dogs to help find them homes.  Spring is an option for Foster To Adopt. Spring is a 9 year old Dachshund-Pit mix who can’t wait to blossom with her forever family! Spring came to our rescue with her litter of 2 week old babies after she was abandoned at the shelter, which is no place for a sweet little family. Now that her babies are all grown up and she has had some Mama relaxation time, she is ready to find a home to live out her golden years in! Spring weighs 27 pounds and is a low-rider! Are you a Pitbull lover but the size of a typical Pitty doesn't fit your life? Well, we have your answer here. This girl is all that but in a compact size!   Below is a note from Spring’s foster.  “Spring is a fabulously cuddly and loving gal who can’t wait to meet her new BFF! When you first meet her, she can take a little bit to warm up but once she does, she is ready for non-stop snuggles. She would love to find a home where she can spend her days loving her people, being the best zoom companion ever! Spring is more of a couch potato kind of dog, but she does love her daily romps around the neighborhood. Spring is fully potty trained both with potty pads and outside. Spring adores the softer things in life, from blankets to toys and dotes on her Lamb Chop. Spring would be a perfect hike companion or a “snuggle and movie” friend.  Spring starts her morning with a potty break and breakfast at around 7 AM. During the day, she hangs out in a playpen with her bed and toys. She spends her time mostly snoozing and soaking up the sunshine. After I finish work for the day, we go on a walk to the park where she sniffs and gets her zoomies out. After her walk, she comes home for dinner and snuggles as I unwind from the day. She ends her day curled up on her soft dog bed as she dreams of adventures ahead!  Spring would do best in a home where she can be the only dog, or with a low-key doggy companion. She loves walks and trots alongside me as we wander the neighborhood. Spring gets along with all people, but prefers a slow introduction involving LOTS of treats! Spring is such a lovely girl with beautiful, soulful eyes who deserves the absolute best forever home.” Spring would be best suited for a home with prior dog experience, but she could be a first-time dog. Spring would do best as a solo dog. Kids in the home should be over the age of 10.January 10, 2025, 10:20 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, February 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: $650 Who you gonna call? Ghostbuster! This 10-12 month old, 22-lb little chunk o' munk Dachshund is here to steal your heart and your personal space (because let’s face it—he’s not giving you any). With his adorable wire-haired coat and big soulful eyes, Ghostbuster isn’t out to catch ghosts—just snuggle buddies! When Ghostbuster first arrived at his foster home, he was a bit shy but quickly latched onto his foster mom like a proton pack to a Ghostbuster suit. He’s the ultimate velcro dog, following you from room to room and crying if you dare attempt a solo bathroom trip. He might whimper at the start of walks or when crated, but like an ‘80s montage, he pulls himself together after a few minutes. Ghostbuster’s daily routine is a mix of laid-back lounging and short strolls. He typically starts his day with a morning walk around 7 or 8 am, followed by an afternoon outing at 12 or 1 pm. Depending on how everyone’s feeling, there may be another walk between 5-6 pm, and he winds down with an evening stroll at 8 or 9 pm, plus one last quick potty break at 10 pm. While his foster provides this schedule, Ghostbuster doesn’t require multiple walks a day—he’s more of a “let’s cuddle and vibe” kind of guy. Dachshunds like Ghostbuster were originally bred for hunting badgers, which explains their long bodies and determined personalities—but Ghostbuster’s idea of hunting is searching for the coziest blanket or the nearest human lap. With his wire-haired coat, he has a charming scruffy look that pairs perfectly with his chill demeanor. Despite the breed’s reputation for spunk and independence, Ghostbuster’s main goal in life is simple: maximum cuddles, minimal effort. He peacefully co-exists with the resident doodle, though he’s far more interested in people than canine playdates. His attitude is simple: Why chase squirrels when you can chase cuddles? His ideal home? Flexible! Sure, he’d love a work-from-home situation or tagging along to a dog-friendly office—but let’s be real: who wouldn’t? Ghostbuster’s adaptable; he’ll figure out the routine, no special equipment required (unless you’re packing a PKE meter for belly rub detection). So, if there’s something strange... in your lonely heart...Who you gonna call?Ghostbuster!February 20, 2025, 12:41 pm
