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.Fuji is a 1 year old beauty looking for their forever home. All of her siblings have been adopted, and she has been patiently waiting for it to be her turn. She is such a sweet girl. She has a more passive personality. She loves to play with the other kitties in her foster home and climb the cat tree but also can just chill solo too. She would be a great addition to home that wants a devoted kitty who wants to cuddle with them. She would be a great match for a person who works from home or perhaps you are retired and want a snuggly lap kitty to hang out with. She would love a heated cat bed in her new home and lots of toys. If you are interested in adopting a kitty for your resident cat, she would be a good fit for that scenario as well. She is a special girl, and she can't wait to start her happily ever after with you. She has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treatment applied and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $200.

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Our Big Bang litter are four wonderful boys that someone abandoned on the side of the road in a box. How anyone could have left these sweet babies to fend for themselves we will never know. But we are so glad that a fellow animal lover alerted us of the situation so we could rescue these special boys. At 12 weeks old now they are ready to find their forever homes. They are fun, affectionate, loving and will bring a lot of joy to their new person or family's life. They could easily join a home with a resident cat, cat savvy dog or kids. They can be adopted individually or in a bonded pair. Here are some unique traits about each of them. Howard - This little guy is such a lovebug. He has an energetic and curious personality and is the adventurous one of the group. He loves taking naps in the bathroom sink. Its definitely a cool place to lounge on hot days. He is as cute as button and can't wait to have a home of his very own. Leonard - He is the observer of the group. He loves to hang out and watch all the action going on. He will join in but only when invited by one of his brothers. He would love to have entertaining bird movies to watch on TV or just hang out with you while you watch your shows. Sheldon - Just look at those markings. So adorable. He has a beautiful white coat with a black tail accent. He knows he's handsome and it could be because his foster mom tells him that every day. He enjoys every type of toy there is and is obsessed with the cat tunnel. An all-around great kitten. Raj - He is super affectionate. His foster mom says he loves to climb up into your lap and stay there for hours. He also loves climbing on his cat tree and napping in the cubbies. He has a very mellow temperament and would fit into any home dynamic seamlessly. They have been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $200 per kitten or $350 for a bonded pair. Apply to adopt one (or two) of these wonderful little guys today!May 15, 2025, 11:51 pm

Story
The exquisitely BEAUTIFUL ***Pearl The Golden Girl*** was rehomed from Coronado Military Family leaving the country. Her GORGEOUS, pearlescent white fur compliments a sweet, cuddly temperment that Turkish Van's are so well known for! Pearl LOVES socializing with her humans. She is a Well Bred Hostess who will ACTIVELY GREET all new guests that come into your home! Pearl particularly loves cuddling with well behaved children BOTH boys and girls! Her current foster home has two boys, 7 and 9yo who adore this gorgeous girl. Pearl will do best in a NO STRESS, LOW activity home. She prefers to be the ONLY Regal kitty to Rule over her Castle! She MAY tolerate an older, mellow doggy, if the canine has the proper amount of respect, lol, and stays away from her royal food dishes. Pearl would LOVE to live in an ALL WHITE HOME/Palace, as befits her breeding ;-) However, if you have chosen to decorate differently and the humans are CUDDLY and sufficiently adore her, she has said she would be delighted to adapt to your fashion and style. THIS GIRL is very human bonded, so we are looking for a match with humans at home MOST OF THE TIME (not the traditional 9-5 schedule). If you work at home, are a stay at home parent, or are a retired couplewith Excellent taste in Fancy Felines, THIS IS THE EXACT RIGHT KITTY FOR YOU! Potential homes and families for Pearl: Please respond and email to us WITH A PHONE NUMBER that you will answer when our Volunteer Adoption Counselor calls! Please state the BEST DAY AND TIME WINDOW you are available to chat, so we dont have to play telephone tag, lol. You will want to act quickly- Gorgeous Turkish Van White Dreamboats like Miss Pearl come along only once in a LIFETIME!

Story
*** Katy is in a foster home ***Katy #18044: white w/black patches Turkish Van mix, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 10/1/22Cats: likes Dogs: cat-savvy canines Children: adults onlyBACKGROUND: Along with the rest of her litter, Katy was rescued from the streets as a young kitten. The family made their way to The Rescue House, and in foster care, they began to flourish. During her time there, we noticed that Katy has chronically weepy and slightly red eyes—the right more so than the left. We took her to the ophthalmologist, and she is on a regimen of three separate types of eye drops administered twice daily to address the issue. Even though things are under control, she requires follow-ups every six months to ensure nothing has changed. With that sorted and all of her siblings adopted, Katy now is ready to find her forever home too! PERSONALITY: On most days, you can find Katy embracing the true San Diego spirit by soaking up the sun in her favorite spot by the window! (In Katy’s opinion, naps are a must after breakfast or an afternoon of games and frolicking with her foster friends, so why not pick a sunny spot for a snooze?) Speaking of meals, Katy loves food and is vocal about making sure you know when it’s time to eat! Katy’s other favorite activity is playing. In terms of activities, she adores interactive wand toy sessions with you and boogying down on the playground with her feline companions! While she appreciates wrestling, cuddling, and romping around with kitten pals, she also is able to be independent and self-entertain. Adopting this playful sun-worshipping gastronome isn’t just for anyone. She is going to need a very special person who understands that she is exceptionally timid and reserved. Katy takes time to trust and form bonds with people. Not one to ever kiss on the first date, Katy expects you to put in the work to earn her affection and not to rush her as she settles in. Katy prefers to explore gingerly at her pace and retreat back to her safe space (under a bed) when she feels overwhelmed or afraid. Once she eventually lets her guard down, you will see an additional side to her. For example, if she thinks you have food or a treat, she will come out to greet you and do a little dance while meowing! Although she doesn’t necessarily want to be touched a bunch, Katy likes to be near her chosen person and en
