dogs to see who will be attending as not all dogs will be attending the event. 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. * We do not have a facility. All dogs live in foster homes. Arrangements to meet dogs occur after an approved application has been accepted. * We do not ship our dogs for any reason. * Our adoption fee is $400 for each dog/puppy. * If it is on a weekend of our adoptions, follow us on @DPSRescue on Twitter to get real time updates on our adoptions. We will also post at the end of the evening the names of those dogs who have been adopted: www.facebook.com/DPSRescue This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, August 26th and August 27th from 12pm-4pm or until adopted. The first time we will meet with approved adopters is on the 26th and most puppies will be set up to meet with homes on that day. Applications submitted within 24 hours of the event may not necessarily be reviewed. The Hawaii litter are 9 week old puppies (as of Aug. 14th). There are 6 females and 4 males. They're pretty small now and will likely top out at no more than 15 lbs. Their coats will either be low-shed or non-shed and they may require regular grooming. But if there are family members that suffer from allergies unfortunately these puppies are not an option. They are mixed breed puppies and not from purebred parents. They are everything great that puppies are and that's playful, energetic, full of life and then they crash and sleep the afternoon away. They love to be held and cuddled. They like to snuggle up with their foster parents. They love playing with toys. Of course despite having tons of toys to choose from their favorite are plastic bottles. The puppies currently live in a foster home where they are fostered with other dogs. They live with big and small dogs. They are learning all kinds of good dog socialization. They also live with cats who rule the roost. So they are learning to be kind to kitties and respect their space. We will be looking for homes who have had a dog of their own within the last 3 years. (Not family dog or roommates dog) If there are children they need to be over the age of 7. We will be looking for applicants who are prepared for a puppy and demonstrate such on the application. **Not all of our dogs go to each adoption event. We want to make sure if you are interested in a dog that we have the dog at adoptions but that can only happen if you fill out an application ahead of time and are pre-approved. (Generally this must happen prior to the weekend) **If you are wanting to submit an application within 24 hours of an event, please print off the application and bring with you as well as submitting it. You may still submit it and if time and volunteers permit, we will contact you. Most applications submitted the weekend of adoptions are not responded to until after the adoption weekend.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
