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: $750 Meet Lambie – A Fluffy, Friendly, and Fully-Healed Lovebug! Lambie is a 10 month old, 11 lb Maltipoo with a non-shedding coat — perfect for those with allergies or anyone who simply prefers a dog that won’t leave fur on the furniture. This sweet, playful pup is all healed up and ready to start his next chapter in a forever home that will adore him as much as he adores his people. Lambie came to us in rough shape, with a skin issue and infection that needed some care — but we’ve done the work, and now he’s a healthy, happy, and thriving little guy. His coat is growing back beautifully, and so is his confidence. His foster describes him as the perfect blend of playful and chill. He enjoys a quick game of fetch in the morning, followed by a cozy nap in his x-pen. He loves people, is gentle and affectionate, and will gladly follow you around the house like your own fluffy little shadow. Though he was timid when he first arrived — uncertain about new surroundings and doorways — Lambie has come a long way. Now he struts home from walks like he owns the block, tail held high, curious and content. He’s good on leash, polite around calm small dogs, and happiest in a quieter environment without large, rowdy dogs. He’s fully crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is doing great with potty training — especially in his x-pen and crate. He still needs some supervision and reminders when he's out and about in the house, but he’s a quick learner and eager to please. Lambie’s favorite things? Greeting you like you’ve been gone for days. Playing ball. Snuggling in your lap. Just being close. This little guy is the total package — loving, resilient, and ready for a home that will continue the love and care he’s already received. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-shedding companion who’s already come through the hard part and is ready to give you his whole heart, Lambie is waiting.  July 4, 2025, 6:20 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lambie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
