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 $600   Meet Coral - a 10-12 month old who is the total package of great looks and easy-to-train smarts. After receiving an urgent call from the shelter where Coral and her nine newborn pups were set to be euthanized we jumped into action and sprung this wonderful family. How could their lives end when they’d just begun?  After arriving on the peninsula they settled into their foster home, where Coral has been a doting, playful mom to all her pups. It’s now time for Coral to find her own forever family, where she can be doted on and play without minding the puppy pen.    From the foster:   From day one, Coral was a love. She let us handle her very young pups as we set-up a space where she could nurse and pop in and out for some yard time. Coral is housetrained so she was given full access to our home and easily settled into her new routine of caring for her pups, taking in all the smells in the yard, and seeing what everyone was up to around the house.    Coral is young herself, so she has the spunky playful energy of a young dog without you having to wait for her to grow into herself. At 50 lbs she’s the perfect medium-sized dog. She learned her name quickly, comes when called, and her smarts and attention will make her easy to train - she soaks it up.     She loves meeting new people, loves to play, and rolls over for belly rubs for her adoring fans. Though she hasn’t been out on leash walks yet due to nursing, she will be a neighborhood favorite based on the comments our visitors make when they pop in. Her coat is silky soft, her playfulness would be suitable to having a fur-sibling, and her sweet soul melts into you during the quiet moments at home.  As a natural protector she gives a barky hello to new visitors but after introductions, they are fast friends.     She adores her humans and is calm and relaxed when she’s hanging out during the WFH day. Coral makes a great zoom buddy - no barking, no jumping around on screen, just chillin’ until our next activity. She’s not a chewer, and can be left at home without incident when we have to work in a different office. She’d also make a great adventure companion as she’s agile and patient.    She is a snuggler. Movie night anyone? Grab the popcorn and a blanket and Coral’s all in!   We wake up about 6:30am and head outside for playtime before breakfast. Coral eats a mixture of NutriSource kibble and Blue Mountain wet food. Lights out about 10pm.    Coral and her newborn family’s fate all changed in an instant. The family who adopts Coral will welcome a great young dog with so much love and potential. Her silky softness, loyalty and smarts would be a perfect fit for so many people/families.  What a lucky gal to now get to live a full life and equally lucky is her adopter :)  We love you Coral!   Adopters should be prepared to complete Coral’s training. This is important for a smart, young dog.  If there are kids in the home they should be over the age of 10.  May 17, 2025, 11:48 am

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