Story
Don't we all wish we were a little bit taller? Nope. Not Shorty. He is perfectly happy at the height he is. Low to the ground where he can sniff out any fallen snacks. Tall enough to jump on the bed and take a snooze with you. Some people assume he's a Dalmatian, but he is all Terrier! He may be a bit shy at first, but give him a day to decompress and you will be showered with love and appreciation. It's starting to look a lot like Christmas, and what's Christmas without a place to call home. Give Shorty the holiday of his dreams. Adopt this spectacular boy today! Here's some notes from his foster: This long little short guy is clever and spunky! Shorty seems to be very well house trained. He loves his food and snacks. He is however a little bit timid at times and could use some patient reassurance to his confidence. He loves his walks and checking out the scene and sniffing out the local spots. He was a little hesitant up a flight of steep stairs at first, but quickly learned that walks are imminent or that, coming in, food and a cuddle on the couch is expected. He likes to keep people in sight, learning what goes on and what might come next. At the end of the day Shorty adores cuddling up close in bed when it's chilly.

Rat Terrier Italian Greyhound

Male, Adult
Palo Alto, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, January 25th 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   Gingerbread is an option for foster to adopt   Gingerbread is a 4 year old Rat Terrier x Italian Greyhound mix who’s serving up sweetness regardless of the season! Gingerbread was rescued from the shelter during the holiday season and we instantly knew he needed an invite to the DPS cookie exchange so we scooped him up on our sleigh and sped off into the sunset! He helped make our season bright and now he’s ready to head off to his forever home and keep the good times going! Gingerbread weighs 16 pounds and has amazing Dumbo ears that make him catch all the eyes as he walks down the block. Come enjoy a tasty treat and adopt Gingerbread!     Gingerbread is a caterpillar who is ready to find his home that will help him blossom into a butterfly. As he has grown more confident in his foster home, his personality has started to develop, showing us what an amazing dude he is. Gingerbread is more of a cat than a dog, as he finds warm spots to lounge the day away in as he chases the sunshine. Gingerbread is fairly independent but he did befriend the dad in the house and loves his cuddles. He would be an ideal fit for a home looking for quiet and loving companionship. Gingerbread is very treat motivated and eager to please so he has delighted in learning new things. While he is small, he can tackle any adventure you throw his way and has been exploring all the local hiking trails with his foster humans! However, at the end of the day our boy is a total couch potato who would love cuddling up and watching TV! This special boy will be the perfect companion for his human who finds him, we know it! Gingerbread wakes up around 6:30 AM and immediately requests cuddles from his foster humans. He goes out for potty before he has his breakfast. Following his morning meal, he lounges outside in the sunshine or on the couch. He goes on a morning walk around 10 AM and then cozies up under his blankets. He’s fairly content to snooze most of the day away until his afternoon walk followed by dinner around 6:30 PM. He hangs out on the couch or on his bed in the evening. After one last potty break around 10 PM he heads to his crate for the night. Gingerbread currently lives with two medium sized dogs and they coexist well. He is not super playful but they enjoy spending time together. Gingerbread walks well on a leash and enjoys his outings. His dream home is one willing to give him the patience and space he needs to blossom. He is still learning how to “dog” and will need a home who is understanding of his quirks. Gingerbread promises that if you give him a chance he will provide you a lifetime of delicious love!     Gingerbread is only an option for homes with shy dog experience. He is an option for homes with teens or an adults-only home. January 29, 2025, 4:26 pm

Ginny

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Female
Santa Clara, CA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ginny  is super sweet and playful, especially with other dogs. She's a little skittish at first and takes a little while to warm up, but once she's comfortable with you, she is sweet, a champion snuggler, and an all-around great companion. Energy Level?  Medium House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on a leash. Does well on a leash. Likes to stop and smell all the smells. Describe how they are with other dogs?     Ginny plays nice with other dogs and has lived with other dogs; however, she would do well as your one and only.   She loves all the attention. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  Ginny has been in home with a dog-savvy cat and did very well. Commands they know?  She comes when called.  What are their favorite things?  Playing with other dogs, chewing on toys and treats, and snuggling with her people. She also enjoys being outside and exploring our backyard. What do they need to work on?   Ginny  is still learning what's okay and not okay to chew. She'll need lots of toys that are safe for chewing and some patience and understanding while she figures it out.  How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  She has been alone for up to 8 hours and has been okay. She may howl briefly as we leave but then quiets down. She is generally happy in her crate and has a good view of all her foster fur siblings. Where do they sleep?  In a small crate in our bedroom. She sleeps well through the night and enjoys a morning snuggle in our bed when there's time. What is their ideal home?   Ginny 's perfect home includes at least one other similarly-sized dog because doggy playtime is her favorite thing. She'll need a family who can give her some time and space to get comfortable, as she can be pretty skittish initially. She'll also need patience as she learns what's okay to chew and what's not. Once she's comfortable with you and all settled in, she is an excellent companion and will reward you with epic snuggles and much love. Ginny should be in an adult only home.

Thank you for your inquiry. Trigger has an adopter but we have to wait for them to go pick him up after the stay at home is lifted. Once he is picked up we will remove his profile.

Trigger is ok with children over 7 years old. He loves giving and getting lots of attention. Adores treats, walks, car rides and cuddles. He is an active kind of guy, always looking for adventures in everyday life. He is a real character and is full of love for his people.

Story
Bugsy is a great buddy to have around. He is about 18 lbs and around 6- 7 years old. He enjoys going on walks and loves to wander around in the yard in his wheels or scooting along, play with his toys, happy all snuggled up with his people, and just hanging around. Bugsy loves the toys at his foster home and doesn’t mind sharing them. He is the sweetest and most loving guy you will ever meet. He has been around all sizes and breeds of dogs and gets along great with them He enjoys the company of other dogs but he would be just as happy to be an only dog if his person was around most of the time to keep him company. If not then he needs a canine companion for company. Bugsy is very affectionate but doesn’t require a ton of attention to be content.  He is pretty low-maintenance and will happily follow your lead. Bugsy doesn’t use his back legs but do not be fooled since he is still an active guy and can go many places with his wheels or rear harness. He is very good around young kids and lives with one now. Bugsy is exceptionally loving and eager to please. He knows what he is being told and if you are looking for a smarty to be part of your family he is the guy. He will bring lots of warmth and terrier-silliness to your home. Give him a chance and he will steal your heart. Bugsy also needs a new foster home if not adopted. He is now being fostered in Belmont, CA and his adoption fee is $275. Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great guy or for an application to adopt.
