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, February 8th 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   Flan is an 8 year old Shih Tzu x Lhasa Apso mix who’s as sweet as caramel and ready to make you his perfect family! Flan was surrendered to the shelter with some of his culinary companions due to a change in living circumstances. We were asked to take him in and happily agreed! We scooped up this handsome 10 pound boy and promised to find his amigos! Flan has a light shedding coat so he will require some grooming. If you’re ready to find your new favorite treat, come pick up some Flan!      Flan is a chill gentleman who can’t wait to make you his world! This dude adores his humans and according to his foster mom he is the best WFH buddy she’s ever fostered, as he is content to lounge near you during meetings. Flan is very even-tempered and fits in well to any environment he enters. He’s super flexible like that. Flan loves being outside and enjoying the sunshine but he isn’t super high energy. We call the window facing the street his “dog tv” as he amuses himself for hours watching the world go by. His current party trick is a fetch fake out… one day he will learn to bring it back he says! Flan lives life to the fullest and we know he will make every day an adventure once he joins your family! From walks to snuggles to playtime, he’s ready for it all!   Flan wakes up around 8 AM and heads out to potty with his foster siblings. After his breakfast, he goes on a short walk before he settles in for a morning nap. Flan alternates between snoozing, cuddling, playing, and sniffing around the yard for most of the day until his afternoon stroll. Dinner is served at 6 PM followed by an evening of play and cuddles. He sleeps through the night on a plush dog bed.  Flan currently lives with several dogs and cats and gets along well with them all. He would be a great companion for a home with a resident pet. Flan walks well on a leash and is working on his potty training. He loves meeting new people and is a great canine ambassador, but would do best in an adult only home. If you’re ready for a culinary companion, come and order some Flan!      Flan is an option for homes with prior dog experience. Kids should be over the age of 12.February 7, 2025, 10:27 am

If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.     Adoption Fee: $800 Meet Grover – The Snuggle Champion of the World!   If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you like a long-lost soulmate and snuggle you into submission, Grover is your guy. This 2 year old, 14-pound Shih Tzu mix may be small in size, but his heart is as big as they come. Rescued from the shelter, Grover has fully embraced the good life—lounging on the couch with the TV on, receiving endless belly rubs, and perfecting his art of being carried around like a little furry baby. He’s the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room, offering moral support even during the most mundane tasks (yes, even in the bathroom). His love language? Hugs, kisses, and more hugs.   When Grover first arrived, he was a bit anxious and wasn’t quite sure about the other humans in the house—he preferred sticking to his foster mom like Velcro. But with a little patience (and a lot of chicken toppers), he’s blossomed into a social butterfly, wagging his tail and happily seeking pets from everyone he meets. And when it comes to his furry foster siblings? Grover is the Switzerland of dogs—so calm, so peaceful, and somehow able to charm even the grumpiest of pups. Whether it’s snuggling with his tiny foster brother (who normally doesn’t share toys) or lounging next to the family’s older dog without disturbing her personal space, Grover just has a way of fitting in wherever he goes.   Now, let’s talk about his couch potato lifestyle. Playtime? Meh. Toys? No, thanks. Grover’s idea of a perfect day involves being cozied up next to you, soaking up all the love and pets he can get. He’s the ultimate bedtime companion, snoozing soundly through the night and patiently waiting for you to decide when the morning begins. Housetraining is still a work in progress—he's a fan of belly bands and occasional pee pad use—but he’s got the routine down when it comes to going outside. Grover is looking for a home where he’ll never have to be alone for too long—whether that means a doggy sibling or a human who’s ready for 24/7 cuddles. If you want a dog who will love you with his whole being and try his hardest to fit into your heart (and your bed), Grover is ready to be your forever snuggle buddy.   Grover is an option for a home that has had a dog previously. If there are children they need to be over the age of 5.                February 9, 2025, 8:55 pm

Story
Meet Alex! Alex is a delightful 4-month-old puppy looking for his forever family. He got a rough start in life, given away far too young in front of a convenience store in Fresno. Thankfully, a kind soul intervened, keeping Alex and his siblings safe with their mama. Now thriving in foster care in the Bay Area, Alex is ready to find a home filled with love and adventure. This adorable, likely Shih Tzu-dachshund mix weighs about 6 pounds and is expected to grow to 14 pounds or less, just like his mama, a dachshund Chiweenie. While his dad is a mystery, he must have had some non-shedding genes, giving Alex a low-shed coat that doesn’t require professional grooming but will benefit from regular brushing. Personality & Looks: Alex is one of the two boys in the litter, with a striking salt-and-pepper coat that’s primarily black. He’s spunky, affectionate, and loves to wrestle and play. Alex is dog-, cat-, and kid-friendly, making him a wonderful fit for many family dynamics. He’s almost ready to start formal training and walks and will thrive in a home that provides structure, time, and plenty of opportunities for playtime. Alex would do best in a home with another dog to learn from and keep him entertained, as he’s happiest with a constant play companion. We’re looking for a family who: - Has the time and resources to commit to training and socialization. - Doesn’t work 8-hour days outside the home. - Has a yard for Alex to romp in. Alex has come so far and deserves the very best. If you’re ready for unconditional love and puppy antics, Alex might be your perfect match! In the event your application isn't accepted or might be a better fit for another dog, we will provide feedback and suggest alternative matches. Your application remains active for 90 days, allowing consideration for other dogs in our care. Simply email us if there is another dog you would like your application to be applied to. [Apply Now](http://form.jotform.com/underdogca/dog-adoption-application) For application forwarding requests or any specific inquiries, you can contact us at adopt@underdogca.com. This email is also the preferred channel for additional information submissions or document uploads. All our dogs undergo comprehensive vetting, including spaying/neutering, microchipping, DHPP, flea treatment, deworming, and Rabies vaccinations. Additional vet care is provided as needed based on their requirements. The adoption fee for this dog is $550 serving as a non-refundable donation. Adoption fees may vary based on factors such as vetting costs, transport, and age.
