Fabric

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: $500 Meet Fabric — a gentle soul searching for safety, healing, and the love she’s never truly known.   Fabric is a 4 year old Terrier mix weighing around 20-25 lbs, and her journey has been one of quiet resilience. She came into rescue as a devoted mama dog, raising her puppies with care. Now that her babies have been adopted, it’s finally her turn to be cared for, to learn what it means to be loved, and to begin discovering the life she deserves.   Fabric is not your typical dog — not yet. She’s shy, fearful, and unsure of the world outside her crate, which currently serves as her safe zone. She spends most of her day curled up there, only emerging when gently leashed for walks or meals. And yet, she is not broken. She is cautious but curious, watchful but not aggressive. Even in her fear, she never snaps, never bites — she simply retreats. Her soft eyes and unwavering eye contact hint at the trust she wants to give, even if she doesn’t quite know how.   She walks beautifully on a leash — especially when she can stroll through quiet grassy areas away from the bustle of people and pets. Busy sidewalks and approaching strangers make her nervous, and she’ll look over her shoulder often, just to make sure she’s safe. Inside the home, she is quiet, clean, and crate-trained with no accidents.   Fabric is not yet playful. She’s not a cuddler — at least not for now. But on rare occasions, she’ll join her foster on the couch for a moment of closeness, or hop into an open car as if she’s hoping for a road to somewhere better. She doesn’t know how to “dog” in the typical way, but she wants to learn. She’s made slow, tiny steps forward, and with time and the right environment, we believe this tender girl has the potential to bloom.   Her ideal home? A calm, therapeutic space with someone who has experience with shy dogs and is ready to patiently earn her trust. She would do best without small children or high-energy animals. A quiet setting, a soft bed, and a human who sees her potential will go a long way. Fabric needs time, consistency, and most of all — someone who won’t give up on her.   What makes her special? Fabric has endured so much with quiet grace. Despite her fear, she never lashes out. She simply waits, hoping the world might one day feel safe. And when you see her eyes search yours for reassurance, you’ll know there’s a truly beautiful spirit underneath the layers of fear.   She may be a “project dog,” but she’s also a soul worth investing in. With time and love, Fabric could become someone’s greatest rescue story.   Could that someone be you?                    July 1, 2025, 3:29 pm
