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
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereAngelica is a charming puppy with an adorable blend of breeds, possibly including Corgi, Shepherd, Cattle Dog, and maybe even a touch of Akita (foster family’s best guesses!). She has the cutest lopsided ears—one up and one down—that add to her unique personality. This playful girl thrives on praise, making training sessions both fun and rewarding. She already knows “sit” and is working on other commands! Angelica is great with kids and loves other dogs, making her an ideal addition to a family with pets. She adores water and will happily jump in the shower with you—baths are definitely her favorite! Plus, she has a sweet habit of following you around like a shadow, always wanting to be by your side. When you talk to her, she’ll cock her head, soaking in every word.  Working on crate training and is still in the stage of putting everything in her mouth, so she will need positive reinforcement/rewards based training to guide her. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, active puppy, Angelica is the perfect match! Click here to learn how to adopt, and submit your adoption questionnaire.December 13, 2024, 8:03 pm

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.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, 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, December 21st and Sunday, December 22nd 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: $800   Blizzard is an 8 week old Husky x Alaskan Malamute mix ready to provide flurries of love and puppy kisses to his forever family! Blizzard was rescued from the shelter as a baby when he blew into town and needed a soft place to land. We eagerly scooped him up and a husky-loving foster home happily welcomed him into their home. Blizzard currently weighs 12 pounds and we expect he will be in the medium-large size range when he reaches adulthood. Come find your snow buddy today with Mr. Blizzard!    Blizzard is a cuddly, snuggly little sweetheart ready to make you fall in love with him! He melts into your arms like a snowman and will never let you go! His super fluffy coat makes him as soft as a fresh coat of snow and his striking features draw all the eyes in the room. He loves his toys and is happiest when he has a pile of stuffed toys to spread around the living room. He is super duper smart and responds quickly to direction, making him an ideal companion for training. We expect Blizzard will be a hit on any hike or adventure to come, as he is built for runs, walks, and trips to the park. You name it and Blizzard is ready for it! While Blizzard has a lot of energy, he is calm once he’s gotten his zoomies out. He is loving to everyone he meets and just wants to show you how much love he has to give. He will thrive in a loving home that has time for cuddles and lots of love. He loves to romp and would be a perfect addition to a home ready for adventure and puppy kisses! Blizzard is a dream puppy and his foster just raves about him. From his adorable face to his cuddly demeanor to his sweet energy, Blizzard is the best puppy out there!  Blizzard wakes up at 7 AM ready for play time. He heads outside for a potty and then zooms back inside for some morning snuggles. He loves playing with his foster sister and they romp around, play with toys, and get their energy out. After a meal and a big drink of water, Blizzard flops into his crate for a morning nap. He cycles through the best puppy loop of play, sleep, and snacks for most of the day, giving out endless puppy kisses and snuggles as often as he can. He eats breakfast at 8 AM, lunch at 1 PM, and dinner at 5 PM. Once the workday ends, he hangs on the couch and gets his cuddle on. He goes out for one last potty and then heads into his crate for the night.  Blizzard lives with a large dog and they are the best of friends. He would love a companion in his forever home as he has a lot of energy to get out. He does wonderfully with humans of all ages and is happy to be passed around from person to person. Interested homes should be prepared to discuss their plans for training and continued socialization. Ready for a flurry of kisses? Adopt Blizzard!      Blizzard 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 8.December 17, 2024, 4:45 am
