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: $600   Toast is a 2 year old Italian Greyhound mix who is ready to pop out of the toaster and spring right into your arms! Toast was rescued from the shelter with her two topping puppies and she settled right into her foster home for some brunch! Now that her puppies are ready to head off on their next adventures, this gal is ready to serve up some cuteness with her forever people! Toast is a petite gal who has a face as unique as her personality. If you’ve been looking to discover a new kind of bread at the local market, look no further than our gal, Toast!  If you’re looking for a warm, snuggly, and devoted companion, then you’re in for a real treat—because Toast is as golden as they come! This sweet and mellow gal is the perfect mix of buttery softness and crispy confidence. She’s a relaxed, affectionate dog who loves to lounge, but don’t let her calm demeanor fool you— she’s also ready to shower you in love and affection from the moment the toaster pops in the morning!  Toast starts her mornings sunny-side up, waking up bright and early at 6 AM for a quick potty break before heading back to her pups, who are always eager to start the day. While they get their morning zoomies out, Toast prefers to take it slow—watching over them with the patience of a seasoned mom while we reset their playpen. After some light morning supervision, she enjoys a well-earned nap (because, let’s be real, raising puppies is toastally exhausting). Throughout the day, she balances her love for relaxation with short bursts of energy, always keeping an eye on her babies. She doesn’t go on too many walks since her little ones miss her too much, but when she does, she’s all about exploring—sniffing everything, barking at anything that moves, and always keeping an eye out for any sneaky squirrels that might need a good chase! Now, let’s talk about Toast’s flavorful personality! She’s a lounger at heart and would rather snuggle up than run around all day, but she’s got just enough spice to make things interesting. She’s a little wary of other dogs, preferring to be the main dish in the household, but with humans, she’s nothing but sweet. She’ll happily cuddle up, especially if it means getting belly rubs or sneaking a treat (she’ll do anything for a treat!). She’s already fully house-trained and well-behaved indoors—no need to worry about messy accidents! Toast loves her snacks so she’s also super easy to teach new tricks! She will be the star of any breakfast table in no time!  Toast is looking for a home where she can be the star of the breakfast table—somewhere she’ll get all the love and attention she deserves. She’d do best in a home where her humans are ready to shower her with affection from the moment she trots into the room and steals your heart. She needs a family with the patience to help her continue to feel safe and secure, someone who appreciates a loyal, relaxed, and loving companion. If you’re looking for a pup who will butter you up with cuddles and companionship, Toast is your girl!    May 2, 2025, 4:51 am

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