Princess Rinty! aka: Jane Deere

We love our little princess!!!!

Before Rinty was turned in, we've no doubt she was very well taken care of. She has a perfect 'pug' disposition, is extremely well mannered in the house, although just paper-trained, became potty trained immediately and naturally (thanks to her housemate, Ricky!), loves to snuggle, is a fabulous guard-pug, and has brought great light and joy to a home morning the death of our 15-yr-old pug, YoYo.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of her, and for carting her to Las Vegas so that her forever home could be with our family in Henderson, Nevada!!

Winnie the Pooh

We adopted Winnie from DPS last Oct 16. We were told she was a Minii-Schnauzer/Poodle Mix. Not so. Turns out she is a Havanese. What a great surprise and what a great dog. She is the love of our lives. We are so grateful that she had added so much life to our lives. We've taken her to the Humane Society's Family Dog I training program and she was a star. When she arrived our house with our three somewhat spoiled cats, she had a little adjustment but learned quckly and now all four of them snooze on the couch with us while we watch TV. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. John and Judy Sanford, Tiburon, CA

Iggy Pup, Rocker Diva

We had been wanting a dog for years, but never seemed to be able to decide on which breed would be good for us. Our home office basically turned into a library, filled to bursting with books on tons of breeds: Basenjis, French Bulldogs, Vislas, Shiba Inus, Siberian Huskies, and so on. It was nuts. Truly. But then, during a random Web search, Cheryl stumbled onto Doggie Protective Services last April (2010), and fell in love with "Raspberry" -- one of the "Berry Family" Basenji mixes from Taiwan. We went to the adoption event at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express with some trepidation, as "Raspberry" was booked for four appointments before we could see her. Four chances for her to be snatched up before we'd even have a chance to see her in person! Unfortunately, we arrived before any of the other appointments, and were therefore able to see how adorable she was, while being powerless to do anything about adopting her at that time. It was tremendously difficult knowing that our cha
nces of bringing her home were likely nil, given that Raspberry was such a cutey -- who could refuse those eyes?? But it was meant to happen, because none of the other appointments resulted in an adoption, and we had our opportunity to get to know her. It took seconds to fall deeply in love with Raspberry, and we made her a part of our family -- after renaming her "Iggy Pup" (we're musicians and, trust me, the name is apt, as Iggy is lovably crazy, animated, and charismatic with a HUGE personality). She is a fabulous "rocker" dog who loves music, hangs out at rehearsals, lives to run faster than a speeding bullet, and cuddles with us every night. Thanks so much to DPS for finding her, bringing her to the States, and making it possible for us to be together as a family. Cheers, Mike, Cheryl, and Iggy...San Francisco Bay Area.

We love him

Peaches from the streets!

Our family adopted peaches in feb. She is the sweetest dog I have ever meet! She loves to play and sunbath in the yard. She tends to eat random things from the yard, so we have to keep a close eye on her. I did tons of research on puppy training before I got her so, despite the label of chihuaha's having reputation of being difficult to potty train, she had it down in a week. I love my puppy! We recently unexpectedly taken in a 3 yr old chihuaha, so my sweet peaches has really blossomed into a very social puppy.

Bogey

In January 2008 we adopted Bogey (formerly Adam) a Shiz Tsu and Poodle mix at an adoption event in Mt. View, CA. Bogey is amazing - he loves everybody and eveything -- even cats! All who meet Bogey fall for his big brown eyes and teddy bear look. I take Bogey most everywhere; many of the local restaurants and shops are dog friendly and Bogey loves meeting new people and other dogs. Bogey loves to take a ride sitting in his car seat in my convertible. I am so grateful for the work that DPS does -- you could not have a better pooch than Bogey. He is shown in the pix below with his cousin Joe and at home.

Thank you!

Project Runway turns 2!

Hi, DPS!

We adopted "Armani" (now Oliver) nearly two years ago and have LOVED raising him with our family.

We recently got a few of the dogs from the litter together to celebrate their second birthdays. We had lots of treats, fetch, and fun! They absolutely love to play together and brother "Giorgio" (now Okie) taught his siblings how to slide down the slide at the park!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for our wonderful doggies!

java now josie

It was a happy day when I decided to look for our next dog on DPS website. Josie has been with us about 8 weeks now and she is an AWSOME dog - all around. She has a very chill personality and then can suddenly bust a move that makes you laugh out loud. DPS was lovely and easy to work with.Teri her foster mom has also been great. Extremely positive experience with DPS and we just love our little gal so much. THANK YOU!
