Story
Kazhem is a very handsome, somewhat shy Akita mix who warms up slowly to new people. But once he is comfortable he will share his goofy personality with you, running zoomies in the grass and showing off his great smile and happy tail wag.He gets along great with other dogs on the beach, the trails and probably in the dog park, but would prefer to be the only doggo in his forever home. Once Kazhem bonds with you he`s very devoted and wants to be with you all the time. Retirees, professionals who work at home, and anyone else who could make him a part of their daily life would be his dream family!

Story
Meet HIROMI HIROMI was turned into the shelter as a found dog. No one ever came for her. Despite being failed by her former person, this sweetheart remains devoted and loving. After Hiromi’s arrival she was initially timid and lacked confidence. She can still be somewhat apprehensive but she has opened up and trusted us enough to let her true colors shine! She is silly, sensitive, refreshingly affectionate, playful and a free spirit. Her absolute favorite past time is to be showered with love and give it in return. Her gentle, resilient nature is inspiring but not surprising. Hiromi is very communicative by expressing a multitude of emotions with her eyes. Her body language is inviting and she understands how to use it to subtly let you know what’s on her mind. She is also an Akita so stubbornness is part of her DNA! Her ideal adopter should have a calm home environment and be able to provide consistency and a daily routine, where she can continue to expand her horizons. Hiromi gets excited for her daily walks and is a great traveler! She seems non-reactive to other dogs and might do well with a mellow male dog. She is approx 4 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is also crate and house trained. She is ready to pledge her love and devotion! Are you?!

Story
Meet TOBI We don't know much about Tobi's past, but his future is very bright. He is a big boy with a heart the size to match. He is a gentle giant with a gregarious, carefree attitude and is eager to learn and experience the world. He is game for adventure and deserves to have that special someone to accompany him in life. Tobi is playful and has a welcoming aura about him. He also has an unabashed, confident side to him. He's just not sure how he ended up here, and we're making sure he never has to wonder that ever again. He is best as an only dog and someone with previous Akita experience is best. Tobi is approximately 5 yrs old, and due to his size should be on a good quality joint supplement. He's only been with us a short time, so will need to gain a few pounds to look his best, but he's already on his way to showing us his beautiful soul.

Story
Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 yrs old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wonderous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.

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.Adoption Fee: $100 *COURTESY POST*    Billie is a 1 year old Husky x German Shepherd who’s looking for her adventure crew to hit the trails with! Billie was rescued from a home where she was not being taken care of by one of our amazing community members. Unfortunately, she hasn’t befriended the resident cat so we agreed to post her and help find her a permanent place to land! Billie weighs 40 pounds and is absolutely gorgeous. For those who love the Husky breed, you won’t find a better companion than Billie! Come on down and meet this gorgeous girl today!      Billie is an affectionate and loyal gal who’s looking for her human best friend! She is super smart and adores her people, so prepare to have a lifelong shadow once you bring her home. Her favorite thing is rolling over onto her belly and lifting her leg like “hello, it’s time to shower me with all the attention I require, human!” Billie, like many huskies, is super smart and wants to show off for her people. Prepare for an adventure in training as you get to know each other. She loves her toys and would be thrilled to find an overflowing toy bin in her forever home. Billie loves to go on walks and adventures but is also happy to lounge on the couch when you’re ready for some relaxation time. Her foster mom has found that a great way to keep her stimulated is with interactive toys, which she excels at! Billie has a big personality, and she’s always such a happy and smiley girl. Billie is expressive in showing you how thankful she is, and you can easily feel it from her. With your support, she can thrive and become a wonderful companion. Her foster’s favorite thing about Billie is the way she’s always ready for a cozy snuggle. She has a sixth sense for when her people need some affection and she’s ready!  Billie wakes up around 6:30 AM on weekdays and goes right outside for potty. She comes inside for breakfast and then settles into her crate for a nap. While her foster mom is at work, she spends her days sleeping or amusing herself with her toys. She is good at hanging out quietly in her crate and isn't a nonstop energizer bunny. She gets her dinner around 6:30 PM when her foster mom returns home from the workday and then heads out on a long walk around the neighborhood. In the evening, she settles down and lounges for a few hours until she heads to bed with her foster mom.  Billie lives with another shepsky mix currently and they get along fabulously. She loves making new pals on her walks as well! She walks very well on a leash and loves getting out in nature. She is house trained. Billie would thrive in an environment where she can be shown lots of love and structure. She responds well to having commands and being trained. She loves to cuddle, so someone who could give her that would be ideal. She’s truly such a beautiful and great dog who has the potential to do very well in a small or big family. She has a lot of love to give and is waiting for her forever home.     Billie is an option for homes with prior dog owning experience. Kids should be over the age of 9.November 12, 2024, 6:23 pm
