These puppies will be light-medium shedders.

She enters every new adventure without fear as her tail wags at a million miles a minute. She adores her kitty and large lab foster siblings and makes everyone fall in love with her. She would love a huge collection of toys in her forever home as she is super playful, zooming around the pen with a plush stuffy as her siblings scamper along behind her. Once she’s had her fill of playing, she’s ready to curl up in your arms as you hold her like a little baby. She’s the perfect blend of energy that makes her the perfect addition to any home. Let Ember be the spark your home needs to kickstart the holiday season! Figgy (M): Figgy is a tiny little dude who has a heart larger than his entire body! He loves being held and is the baby of the litter, we think he may believe he’s an actual human baby from how often he’s scooped in the air for cuddles! Figgy may be small but he is totally fearless when he chases the big dogs around his foster home, snatching their toys and sprinting off to find his next adventure. Figgy thinks he is a world champion sprinter and we sure aren’t going to tell him otherwise. He loves being cuddled and is often found snoozing the afternoons away on the chest of his foster mom. Once we even found him in a hoodie pocket! Figgy is going to be a permanent puppy as he’s super tiny, so say hello to your new cutest purse addition! Scoop up some of this pudding and adopt Figgy!  Joy (F): Joy is a sweet, loving, and adorable cutie pie who can’t wait to make herself the star of her forever home! She truly brings light and laughter wherever she goes. This girl holds her own when she wrestles with her larger littermates, even pinning down Toddy sometimes! She looked to us when this happened like “can I get some applause?” What a character she is! Joy loves making her presence known, whether with her zoomies, her squeaky toys, or her ability to always find an open lap to cuddle up in. She’s truly a one-in-a-million puppy who knows how to find her angle and knows how to flash her puppy dog eyes to get whatever she wants. It’s impossible to resist a puppy this cute, we’ve tried! Come and find some Joy this holiday season!  Noel (F): Noel is a cuddly and loving girl who brings joy and yuletide celebration to any room she enters! Noel has a unique look that sets her apart from her siblings, and she uses that to her advantage to soak up all the cuddles and snuggles she can. This girl wants to be wherever her people are, trotting along behind you as you go about your chores in the house. She is curious and wants to explore the world around her as it changes by the day. She’s been enjoying pouncing on the falling leaves as fall comes to her foster home and it’s an absolute delight to watch her experience the world. Oh to be a puppy zooming around a pile of leaves. Noel is ready to make the season bright with her lucky forever home, so kickstart the holidays and bring this cutie home!   Toddy (M): Toddy is a playful and happy-go-lucky little gentleman ready to spike his forever home’s punch with kisses and snuggles! Toddy loves playing with his littermates and resident dogs and would be an amazing addition to a home with a playful dog. However, he’s also ready to fly solo if you want your own playmate! He is all go go go until he’s tuckered himself out and then he’s ready to curl up in your arms and snuggle the hours away. We can picture him now, racing around a Christmas Tree farm to scope out the perfect fir before snoozing as a movie marathon plays on the TV. Charlie Brown? He’s ready! If you’re ready for a new best friend who would be an amazing addition to any adventure on your bucket list, you won’t find a better buddy than Toddy!       The puppies wake up around 7 AM and head into their daytime pen for potty, playtime, and breakfast as their nighttime pen is cleaned out. During the day, they romp around and play with toys, chasing after each other as they scamper around the yard and living room. They alternate between playing and napping until lunchtime at 1 PM and dinner at 7 PM. They love to curl up together for naps and then play tag as they show off their zoomies on their ever-growing legs. In the evening,  they play with the resident dogs until they tire themselves out and get ready for bed. They go into their pen for the night at 10 PM. The Holiday puppies have been well socialized with dogs of all sizes since birth. They have also met the resident cats and have been polite. They love people, from kids to those who are kids at heart and would be a fabulous addition to any family. Interested homes should be prepared to continue the training and socialization started by their foster mom. We expect these adorable pipsqueaks to be the center of their lucky forever families as they have charmed us all here at DPS Rescue!

She likes to play and show off her zoomies, but is also happy to curl up and snooze an afternoon away as her foster mom works at her desk.  Holiday’s dream home is somewhere she can find her throne on a pile of blankets and pillows. She would love to be a WFH companion as she just wants to be near her people as often as she can. She would love to join a home with a resident dog or cat so she has a constant buddy to play with and follow around. Holiday is super funny as well, gathering her toys and stashing them in her foster mom’s office from the other dogs. She loves her tiny tennis balls and is happy to play fetch for as long as you throw the ball. With her bright eyes and her adorable little snaggletooth, Holiday turns heads wherever she goes. Holiday is so excited to haul out the holly and make the season bright!  Holiday wakes up in her foster mom’s bed around 7:30 AM and curls up for some morning snuggles until she’s ready to start her day. She eats breakfast around 8 AM, a mixture of wet food and kibble. She keeps her foster mom company as she works from home, curling up on a soft bed or the couch as she snoozes the hours away. She gets a snack around lunchtime followed by some playtime with her puppies. She takes another long nap until she’s ready for her dinner, which is served at 6 PM. In the evening, Holiday hops up on the couch and rolls over for kisses and snuggles. She’s always happy to binge watch some TV, as long as she’s by your side! Holiday goes out for one more potty around 11 PM and then follows her foster mom up to bed!  Holiday has always lived with dogs of varying sizes and will be an amazing addition to any home, whether or not there are resident dogs.

Poe was rescued from the shelter where he was surrendered due to a family disagreement on getting a new puppy. Unfortunately, when Mom says no, Dad takes the puppy to the pound. We agreed to take this handsome boy into our care and loaded him into our spaceship for a journey to the stars! Poe is an adorable little pipsqueak who will make your world complete. With his gorgeous coat and his cute smirk, he brings laughter and antics to every room he enters.

He made himself right at home with his foster people, immediately showing off his love of toys and snuggles. He loves to trot after his people, keeping you in his sights as he lounges or chews on his squeaky toys. Poe knows just how adorable he is and he uses it to his advantage when he is ready for his next treat or play session. With one flutter of his long eyelashes and a tilt of his head, he will have you melting like putty into his paws. Poe is the perfect blend of playful and laid back. When the younger human wants to play fetch, he’s ready with a wagging tail, but when his foster mom wants to sit quietly, he’s ready to curl up next to her for a long nap. He loves to greet his foster human’s friends when they come over after a day of school, and he’s always happy to meet new people who want to coo all over him as they pet his soft hair. Poe would be a fabulous companion for a trip to the coffee shop, holiday shopping, or just a romp around the neighborhood. He is up for anything as long as he can do it by your side!  Poe wakes up at 7 AM with a short walk after a big stretch in his crate. He goes into the yard for some sniffs upon returning home before he comes inside for breakfast and playtime. During the workday, Poe hangs out in his crate or pen as he naps and plays with his toys. When his foster mom works from home, he lounges around the house or zooms around the yard. In the afternoon, he gets another walk followed by more cuddles. Once everyone comes home, he eats his dinner followed by a little treat. He shows off his playfulness to his people as they unwind from the day, zooming around the house with his toys. Once he tires himself out, he flops down on the closest lap for some snuggles and scratches. He goes out for one last potty and then heads into his crate around 10 PM. Poe gets along fabulously with dogs of all ages and sizes. He would fit in well to a home with a resident dog but could also be a solo pup! He adores his 10 year old human foster brother. He walks well on a leash but would benefit from additional training and socialization. Poe is house trained and crate trained. Poe is so ready to start his next galactic adventure, so strap in and get ready for adventure!      Poe is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 6.November 15, 2024, 5:23 pm

Mr. Little Potato Head! What a great name. To our best knowledge, probably a maltese poodle mix, he's approximately 3 years old and weights about 14 pounds. He is great with people and children. He walks well on a leash but does like to bark at other dogs, but will settle when you correct him. He loves to eat and is very food/treat motivated. He must have had a family before as he settled in with his foster very easily. He does well in car rides and loves his daily walks. Are you ready to incorporate him into your family!? SF Bay Area Adoptions only, please email if interested.
