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 the Sauce Puppies!   12–14 week old Yorkie Mixes   Marinara • Alfredo • Pesto       Get ready to fall in love with The Sauce Puppies, three delightfully spunky Yorkie mix siblings who bring the flavor—and the fun—to every room they bounce into. Affectionately known as The Saucies, these pups are the perfect mix of playful chaos, cuddly charm, and heart-melting wiggles.       Daily Life with the Saucies:   These bouncy pups follow a late-ish but reliable routine: meals at 7:30 AM, 3:00 PM, and 10:30 PM, featuring kibble with a gourmet twist of boiled chicken. But don’t be surprised if they abandon their bowls mid-meal just to greet you with tail wags and puppy kisses—they live for human interaction. When not munching or snuggling, their favorite group activity is a three-way tug-o-war with a hand towel or chasing each other in delightfully chaotic loops.       They’re doing well with bigger dogs, find cats interesting (but from a respectful distance), and absolutely adore humans of all sizes. Expect ear licks, joyful wiggles, and the occasional enthusiastic leap into your face (we’re working on that last part!).       Meet the Trio:       Marinara – The Boss of Sauce   Marinara runs the show with gentle authority. She lets her siblings eat first, then politely cleans up what’s left. She’s playful, smart, and definitely the ringleader—but never too busy for fun. She’ll offer a sit (sometimes) and a dash of sass, and she’s always ready for action.       Alfredo – The Goofball   Alfredo is all about the details—he’ll pick his favorite kibble bites like a true connoisseur and is always the first to locate a sneaky escape route so he can go explore! He’s the most playful of the bunch and loves nibbling ears in between licks. Alfredo is your guy if you’re looking for a pup who will keep you laughing and on your toes.       Pesto – The Sweetheart   Once she gets her zoomies out, Pesto is all heart. This tender little snuggler seeks out your lap, offers kisses freely, and may just sit on command because she wants to please. Her soulful eyes and gentle nature will melt even the toughest of hearts.       Ideal Home:   These pups are looking for loving homes that can keep up with their energy, provide plenty of playtime and cuddles, and continue their socialization. They’d do great with other dogs, respectful kids, and humans who enjoy equal parts puppy chaos and unconditional love.        May 8, 2025, 1:15 pm

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