My 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 $600 The adorable 8-week old Beach Puppies are ready to join your summertime fun!  Rescued with their mama right after they were born, these pups have their SPF (Super Positive Fun) rubbed in, their cooler packed, and are ready to dive into the season with you. Even the lifeguard will turn to follow their cute bunny hops.  From the foster: We were out of town when we received a text asking if we could foster a mama Shepherd and her nine newborn babies, all listed on a shelter’s euthanasia list. It broke our hearts to think their lives would end when they’d just begun, so of course we said YES!  DPS arranged their transport and overnight stay until we could return home. Mama and her tiny pups arrived and settled in, safe at last. They were little love balls, all curled up and nestled into one another. Look at them now! They are cute, silly, playful, smart, and SO loving.  The Beach puppies spend their days together playing, exploring, sleeping and eating. We wake up about 7am and they’re ready to head outside. They have access to the yard all day and run around the grass, test the toys, dogpile for naps, play in the bushes, happily greet visitors, more naps, and free-feed (mixture of kibble + wet food).  Zonk-out time is about 9pm. They sleep well through the night, together in a large pen. No barking. All the pups have been well socialized, visiting businesses, schools, and lots and lots of kids. They’ve been exposed to the hustle and bustle of a busy foster home, plus neighborhood construction, the vacuum, etc.  Their mama is a 50-pound GS with the most silky soft fur, and she doted on them and raised them well.  We have fostered many great litters before but there’s something extra special about this one - they are a soulful bunch that melt into you.  Pull up a beach chair and meet the litter: Coming Ashore! When his boat comes in, this  Sailor  wins over all the humans standing at the dock. White toes peek out from his sandals.  What’s a beach day without sand? Glistening in the sun,  Sandy  is there with you every step of the way, especially in your heart.  This beautiful  Seashell,  with a white stripe down her nose, is a treasure to take home and have forever. White toes, too.  Use your flippers to  Snorkel  along with this fella’, enjoying the breathtaking views life has to offer.  His siblings love to snuggle into him when he’s resting.  This gal doesn’t need to make a big  Splash  to get your attention. She gets noticed for being polite and spunky, and her manicured white toes. After a day at the beach, she’ll plop down on the sand like a  Starfish , soaking up the sun.  Best bunny hops! Summer  lovin’s warmth and gentleness will be felt year-round. She loves her siblings and they love her right back. Got a little  Sunshine  in your pocket? She might not exactly fit in your pocket but she will brighten up your every day with her spunky personality and light demeanor.  Everybody goes  Surf ing!  With his rugged good looks he’s the perfect wingman, riding along on your adventures.  Beach puppy adopters are welcoming a very special addition to their family. Thank you to DPS for rescuing them and we’re grateful we got to be part of their life journey. They are loved! May 24, 2025, 1:35 am
