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: $800 Meet Fig — A Pocket-Sized Pup with a Heart Full of Love!   Fig is a 3–4 year old Maltipoo weighing just 8.5 lbs, and he’s as charming as they come. With his soft white non-shedding coat, playful spirit, and loyal nature, he’s the kind of dog who makes every day a little brighter.   From the moment he wakes up around 8 AM, Fig is ready to be your little sidekick. He enjoys a quick morning potty break, breakfast (sometimes all at once, sometimes in rounds), and then he’s happiest just being near his person. Whether you're on the couch, at your desk, or moving room to room, Fig wants to be by your side — a classic velcro pup with a gentle heart.   Fig settled into his foster home quickly and continues to blossom every day. He may take a moment to get to know new people, but with just a little time and patience, he reveals his playful, affectionate side. One of his cutest quirks is how he sometimes shows his tiny teeth when he's excited to play — it’s all part of his fun-loving personality.   He absolutely loves toys and is always ready for a game. All it takes is one look or a tossed toy and he lights up, racing off with joy. He also enjoys chew treats and settles in happily with one when it's time to wind down.   Fig is house-trained and familiar with potty pads, making him a great fit for apartment living or homes without yards. He’s still learning some leash manners and can be a bit eager on walks, but he’s improving every day and responds well to consistency.   While Fig is incredibly affectionate, he will likely do best in a home without very young kids, simply because he can get a little mouthy when he's playing. He’s never rough or mean— just full of silly energy and enthusiasm.   Why you’ll love Fig: Snuggly, loyal, and loves being close to his people Playful and fun, especially with toys Small in size but big on personality Easy to manage and housetrained Quirky, endearing, and totally unforgettable Fig is truly a one-of-a-kind companion — sweet, silly, and always ready for love. If you're looking for a joyful, loyal little buddy who will make you smile every single day, Fig is ready to meet you.June 18, 2025, 9:11 pm
