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, November 16th 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: $700   Potpourri is a 2 year old Yorkie x Miniature Poodle mix ready to fill your home with love and sweetness! Potpourri was rescued from the shelter, where she was left for reasons unknown. She was quietly sitting in the back of a kennel dejected as people passed over her, so we knew we had to scoop her up. One bath later and she was ready for snuggles and all the love we had to offer her. Potpourri weighs 10 pounds and she is the perfect size for all the shopping trips and snack runs ahead of her. She has a lightly shedding coat. If you’re looking to fill your home with the scents of the season, come adopt our sweet Potpourri!       Potpourri is the sweetest, most endearing little gal with a heart of gold. When she first arrived at her foster home, she was super scared of the world around her, but within a few hours her velcro, loving nature emerged. She loves cuddling and is always looking for a lap to plop down in or a blanket to snuggle into. Potpourri has soulful eyes that seem to melt when you tell her what a good girl she is. She thrives on love and happiness and will be such a joyful addition to her lucky forever people. She’s much more of a people dog than a dog dog, because people have kisses and scratches to give her! Potpourri rocks a sweater and we can picture her with an overstuffed closet full of warm garments and bandanas. She knows how to find her angle and she poses like the very best of them. Watch out America’s Next Top Model, we’ve got America’s Next Top Paw-del right here! While she’s a velcro dog, she can also keep herself occupied when you need her to. If you’re looking for a WFH buddy who can chill until you’re ready for a break, she’s an ideal companion. She’s much more of a low energy dog, but she loves getting out and stretching her legs on a neighborhood stroll. She’s just an all-around fabulous gal who will make life complete for her lucky forever people!  Potpourri starts her morning around 7 AM by heading straight outside to potty before coming inside for breakfast. She has a healthy appetite and loves sneaking an extra treat (or three). During the day, she hangs out in the living room and the backyard. She loves exploring, as long as her people are nearby for her to scamper back to when she’s ready for cuddles. She spends much of her day hanging on the couch or in a lap. She eats lunch at 1 PM and has dinner at 6 PM. Then, she hangs out more on the couch and gets snuggles for a few hours until she takes herself out for one last potty. Once she comes inside, she goes into her crate for the night.  Potpourri lives with two dogs and gets along with them well. She’s a bit wary around new people, but as soon as you win her over, she’s yours forever. She’d be an option for a home with a resident dog or as a solo pup. Potpourri is working on her socialization and confidence building, so her forever home should be prepared to continue that skill building. She loves being brushed and will sit happily as you keep her soft coat shiny. If you’re ready for the sweetest new best friend, come meet our gal, Potpourri!    Potpourri is an option for just about any home, as long as they’re ready for snuggles and love! Due to her small size, kids should be over the age of 9.November 18, 2024, 5:32 pm

Story
Keone (key-oh-knee) his DOB is 12/12/2011, he will be 13 years old this December. I adopted him from a friend when he was 8 weeks old. His mom was a pure bred Yorkie and his dad was a little black Chihuahua. Keone loves going on walks, but does not require them. He is house trained and has never ran away. He is obedient, will come to you and can be silenced when you say his name to correct him. He is very low maintenance, he just needs a haircut a few times a year. He loves playing catch and tug of war, but might not give you back the toy once he has it. He is very healthy for a senior dog, he can still jump high and run fast with no issues. He is hypoallergenic due to his Yorkie hair so he does not shed. He loves going on hikes off leash. I’ve had many great adventures with Keone, he’s been a great friend to me. He loves to cuddle and take showers. He gets excited and barks when visitors come but might get anxious when big dogs are around. He gets a long with small dogs, however.

Story
Hi there, my name is Ferris! I'm a 5 year old, 10lbs., neutered male Yorkshire Terrier mix. I'm an outgoing high energy guy that can circles around you! I'm a curious dude and really enjoy going on snifari's where I can catch up on all the news. As you can see from my luxurious coat I will need to go to the groomers on a regular basis and of course a little daily upkeep to make sure I look my best. I'm what you would call a typical Yorkie, I have lots to say and tons of energy to burn but boy am I sweet and adorable! Ferris ID#A952907Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available.

Story
Please meet Augie. He is such a calm, sweet guy. He NEEDS a home. He is so gentle that he just doesn't do well in a rescue situation. It can be a foster home or a forever home. But a home he needs! He has gained some weight in rescue but with regular walks and outings, I am sure he will get back to a good weight. He does well with other dogs but he prefers to just stay out of trouble and clear of hoopla! I just know he would LOVE to have someone to spend time with him. Doesn't need much...just some love. If you think Augie might work in your life, please text your interest to be sent on online application form or print your own from the Forms section at wrenyorkierescue.org as well as reading the “how it works” section to understand the Rescue process. Again, even a foster would be wonderful! As a foster, if you live near the rescue, we will supply his food. Thanks for considering sweet Augie.

Story
SEPT 2024: Miss Tazzie is a very affectionate & companionable girl who likes to keep her person in sight at all times-i.e. she will follow whenever her person moves into another room or outside, and becomes quite vocal when left behind; also VERY vocal with pleasure at her person’s return, only quieting down once her person enters the home, sits down & says SHUSH. For this reason TAZ needs a detached home with yards, rather than an apartment building, and preferably another canine housemate to play with; If you can provide a suitable environment for a dog with vocal separation anxiety, please revisit Wrenyorkierescue.org & read the “how it works” section to understand the Rescue process, or text the number below to request a fill-in-online application if you don’t have a printer.

Story
This is our sweet Jessy. She has been with us for a while because she is old and almost blind. Even though she is adorable, we know she doesn't have the best figure or eyesight. But to us, at the rescue, she has the BEST personality. She is always in the middle of everything, enjoying herself and asking for attention and love. Basically, hope in the form of a dog!!!! She knows her way around the entire rescue facility...stairs and all! We all want her to have a home...foster or adoption. We believe she will get to know your home because her spirit will force her too!!!! But probably best to not have too many stairs. You aren't getting a young dog, but, you are getting a few good years with a SWEET dog! We hope you consider Jessy and give us a call at the number below. We will walk you thru the foster or adoption process. Thank you for considering Jessy!

If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.   Adoption Fee: $700   Holiday is a 1 year old Maltese x Poodle mix who can’t wait to make the season bright with her forever family! Holiday was rescued from the shelter, where she landed heavily pregnant and looking for someone to help her out. We scooped her up and a few days later she had a litter of adorable puppies! She was an amazing Mama and now that her puppies are ready for homes of their own, she’s excited to start her next adventure with you! Holiday weighs around 15 pounds and is the most perfect petite little lady. She has a lightly shedding coat and an adorable little snaggletooth that gives her a unique look. She turns heads wherever she goes! If you’re ready to kickstart the holidays a bit early, come out and meet Holiday today!       Holiday is a cuddly, velcro dog who wants to be with her people every minute of the day. She adores her chosen humans and wants to snuggle every minute of the day with you. Holiday is the kind of dog where once you win her heart, she is yours forever. Holiday is a great mix of playful and laid back energy. 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. She gets along fabulously with the four resident cats. Holiday is cautious but curious when she meets new humans, but is quickly won over with tasty snacks. Holiday is working on her leash walking and potty training skills. If you’re ready for a new best friend, come and meet our Holiday!       Holiday is an option for homes with prior dog experience, even if less recent. Kids should be over the age of 7.November 15, 2024, 5:23 pm

If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.   Adoption Fee: $800   Poe is a 9 month old Maltese x Norfolk Terrier mix looking across the galaxies for his forever home! 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. Come on down and meet positively perfect Poe before he heads off for another galaxy far far away!       Poe is an adorably sweet, playful, and energetic puppy looking to show you the stars! 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
