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.This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, May 3rd from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.   Adoption Fee: $650 Meet Mila – Your Snuggle-Ready Best Friend!  Mila is a 4 year old, 11-pound Dachshund-Chihuahua mix with a heart as big as her love for cuddles! If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who will always be by your side, Mila is the perfect match. She’s a Velcro dog through and through—whether she’s burrowing under the blankets at bedtime, lounging under your desk while you work, or curling up for an evening of TV, she just wants to be near her person. Mila’s Daily Life & Personality Mila starts her day with a gentle morning routine, going outside for a sniff session while you sip your coffee. She enjoys these peaceful moments but is not an overly active dog—she prefers short walks in nice weather and then is happy to relax for the rest of the day. During work hours, Mila naps under the desk, occasionally stepping outside for a potty break. She doesn’t engage much with other dogs but coexists politely with them. In the evening, Mila has a silly side! She gets zoomies, spins in happy circles when you call her playfully, and loves tossing around her Lambchop plush toy. It’s one of the rare times she really gets excited, and it’s adorable to watch! Mila’s Ideal Home A calm, low-key household where she can be the center of attention.She can live with dog(s) but would be just as happy as the only pet.She’s polite with cats, as long as they respect her space.A home where she can snuggle, lounge, and enjoy cozy moments with her person. Mila’s Perfect Manners & Care Needs Fully potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Non-destructive—she free roams the house without issue. No chewing, digging, or excessive barking—only alerts when someone is at the door. Low-maintenance coat—she doesn’t require regular grooming beyond occasional brushing and baths. Sensitive to cold—she loves sweaters, blankets, and warm cuddles. Why Mila is Special Mila has a motherly, gentle personality that makes her a wonderful emotional support companion. She’s deeply attuned to her person’s emotions, offering quiet companionship and unconditional love. Her loyal, loving nature makes her the perfect match for someone who wants a dog that’s more than a pet—Mila wants to be your best friend. If you’re searching for a devoted, snuggly, and well-mannered companion, Mila is ready to be your tiny, loving shadow. May 4, 2025, 10:31 am
