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: $700 Meet Unicorn—the tiny, magical marvel who’s about to steal your heart!   This 4 month old Chug (Chihuahua + Pug = 100% pocket-sized perfection) started life in a less-than-magical way— stuck in a cat kennel at a shelter for a week. But once she landed in her foster home, her sparkle started to shine.   Unicorn has been living her best life with her foster sibling Bubble (another DPS pup) and together they’ve formed the cutest dynamic duo. They love playing chase in the yard, sniffing out the very best sticks, and occasionally launching sneak-attack couch pounces on each other (yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds!). When playtime winds down, Unicorn is all about the snuggles. She’s a sweet, gentle soul who gives the softest nuzzles and would happily curl up in your lap all day if she could.   Though she was a little shy at first—preferring to hide between her foster’s legs when Bubble got a bit too rowdy—Unicorn’s confidence has blossomed. She’s playful but not wild, silly but gentle, and has a calm, patient nature that makes her extra lovable. She rarely barks, adores squeaky toys, and is working on her housetraining like a champ.   Unicorn would thrive in a home where she can be someone’s little shadow (or lap warmer!) and would enjoy a canine playmate who’s kind and playful but not overwhelming. She’s the perfect mix of playful puppy and mellow lounger.   Favorite Unicorn move? Leaping off the couch to surprise Bubble mid-bone chew—puppy WWE-style!   Best features? Those big soulful eyes, her gentle kisses, and her heart of gold.   Ready for some puppy magic in your life? Apply for Unicorn at www.dpsrescue.org and let the fairytale begin.    July 6, 2025, 12:18 pm

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