Story
I adopted Ace a little over a year ago at the animal shelter. He is around 2 years old and still very energetic. My landlord no longer accepts pets on the property and I am unable to afford a living situation that allows pets so I am looking for someone with a medium/large space for ace to run around and expel his energy. He is very loving and loyal, however he needs to be trained to be less destructive when he is left alone. I hope someone will take ace into their home and give him a wonderful life.

Story
HI - I'M ORLANDO! I'm an 8-year-old Maltese-Poodle mix in need of a forever home. I was recently rescued from a crowded California shelter and now am in a foster home. I get along well with other dogs, but honestly, I'd be happy with a human to call my own. I'm a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you I will be your best friend, and will want to snuggle with you on the couch, sit on your lap, or sleep with you in bed. I weigh about 14-15 lbs. Please email for an application.

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.December 17, 2024, 4:45 am
