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.Amaretto is a 2 year old young lady that one of our volunteers rescued from a precarious life. She was living with her littermates on the street in a high danger zone. We couldn't leave them there, so our volunteer took all of them in to give them a chance at life. Amaretto is a shy girl, it will take her a while to warm up to her humans, but once she does, you have a friend for life. We know she appreciates having been rescued and wants to trust people so badly but it just takes her a little time. She could easily join a home with another cat or cat savvy dog. She is particularly fond of one of her siblings. So if you are interested in adopting a pair, please look at Kahlua's bio as well. They do not need to be adopted together, but if interested in two kitties, they would be a great duo. Because of her initial shyness, we would be open to a foster-to-adopt program with her. If you think she might be the one for you but want to do a trial period to make sure, we can arrange that. She loves her cat tree and soft beds in her foster home. And she is very treat motivated, so that would be a fast track to bonding with her. She just needs a forever person or family to give her a chance. We know her purrfect person will see her post and know she is the one! She has been spayed, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treatment applied and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $150.November 5, 2024, 9:13 pm

And for that reason, we would be open to a foster-to-adopt program with him. If you think he might be the one for you but want to do a trial period to make sure, we can arrange that. Regardless, he is a great guy and deserves the best life ever. Can you make his dreams come true?

Story

I’m looking to rehome my 12-year-old cat, a gentle, affectionate soul who truly shines in a calm, peaceful environment. She’s incredibly loving once she trusts you, and she’ll happily sit by your side for companionship and snuggles. Due to changes in our household, we can no longer provide her with the environment she needs to feel safe and secure. She is very anxious around other animals and would do best as the only pet. Additionally, she has a history of marking territory, which has led to consistent peeing on various surfaces in her dedicated space, despite being litter-box trained. This behavior has been difficult to manage and does require careful attention. If you can offer her a quiet, low-stress home without other pets or young children, she has the potential to flourish and be a loyal, loving companion. This is a heartfelt decision, and I hope to find someone with the patience and understanding to give her the specialized care she deserves.
