Story
NOTE: This is a courtesy posting for another rescuer. Please do not contact ARRF, as we do not know this pet personally. To meet this pet, see contact information below. Chloe is a 12-year old Poodle mix who is just the sweetest girl! She is good with cats, dogs, kids, and adults. Chloe loves to be with her family and would enjoy a nice comfy spot on the couch to live out her golden years. She is healthy and potty trained, loves walks, and rides wonderfully in the car. We suggest a home with children over the age of 10 for this dog. This dog cannot be adopted out of state. Please see our home page for a list of our Saturday adoption sites. Every potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application and the dog is placed in the home that would be most suitable for the dog. We do not place our dogs in homes with unfenced swimming pools. Generally we don't release the dogs at the adoption site that day except on occasion to former adopters. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please email FCIAadoptions@aol.com.

Story
Tommy, a miniature Poodle, is a special needs boy. He is eight years old and other than being a little on the chunky side, he is in good health with one exception: Although the vet says he can detect some light and shadow in one eye, Tommy is blind. It has been fascinating watching him adjust in a home setting, living with two other dogs in harmony. He follows his Border Collie sister at an off-leash dog park and gets around quite well. Tommy loves people, enjoys his walks, loves riding in the car, and entertains himself with a frozen peanut-butter-filled Kong toy. Other toys are cherished as well. Tommy weighs a bit over 30 pounds, is neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccines. He had a few housetraining accidents at first but has gotten the routine down very well about potty breaks after eating. Tommy needs a very special and patient adopter that will work with him through the initial acclimation in a new home, and most importantly, provide him the love and attention he deserves. To meet Tommy or learn more about him, contact Larry at 760-230-2780 or lryart@cox.net.

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 fee is $400-$800. if a biography does not otherwise say then it is $400. We will also post at the end of the evening the names of those dogs who have been adopted: www.facebook.com/DPSRescueAdoption events are currently cancelled until April. We are however doing adoptions by appointment only. If you are interested in a dog, please fill out an application as this is the only way we can consider your home at this time.  Cody is a 3 year old Shih Tzu-Pug mix who came to us from the shelter. He is overall a mellow boy who gets burst of energy when it’s time to go for an adventure. Once he’s comfortable he is a spunky happy go lucky dog. He loves to go for walks, they are one of his favorite things to do.  Cody has met multiple dogs since entering the rescue. He has started to enjoy playing with his canine friends and he's gained confidence with them. He is an excellent option to join a home that has another dog. If the dog is playful, Yay! If the dog isn't, that's ok with him too. He just likes the company. He gets overwhelmed in dog park settings, so he's more of a homebody type. He could be an option for a retired couple that is dog savvy and/or has a dog of their own. Cody loves loves loves toys. He has a 'play session' every morning. His favorite toy is the plushy moose toy. But he does not discriminate. He likes all toys. So get the toy box ready for our boy. If you are looking for an affectionate dog who doesn't need to be on your lap but likes to be close and receiving affection, that's our boy. He has not proven to be a barker. He would be an option for those who live in an apartment. The only time his foster mom has heard him bark was when he saw his reflection. He will bark if he's allowed to sit in the window and watch people coming and going out of the house. But otherwise he's not a barker. Cody is a dog for a home that doesn't have a steady stream of people coming and going from the house. He'd rather be in his crate if folks are coming over. Cody is only an option for those who have had a dog of their own before and are dog savvy. If there are children in the home they need to be over the age of 8.
