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 the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, September 20th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption fee: $700 Meet the Lab Equipment Puppies!  Meet the Lab Equipment Puppies!  WARNING: Results may vary, but side effects of adopting one of these pups include uncontrollable laughter, spontaneous zoomies, missing socks, and a permanently full heart. At 10–11 weeks old, this litter of six sisters has already proven their first hypothesis: puppies make everything better. Dumped at a shelter in a cardboard box, they’ve since blossomed into squishy, playful, endlessly entertaining experiments in love. Current weight: 8–12 lbs. Projected adult size: medium/large (a.k.a. “perfect size to take over your bed”). All puppies have been tested in controlled environments with dogs, cats, and kids. Results: 100% compatible. TEST TUBE: Experiment Summary: Largest sibling. Sleek black coat. Serious face hides a goofy center. Lab Notes: Observes first, plays later. Loves frisbees, strategic cuddling, and her partner-in-crime Beaker. Hypothesis: Will rearrange your furniture to maximize snuggle efficiency. GRADUATED CYLINDER: Experiment Summary: Small tail, big ego. The Einstein of the group. Lab Notes: Loudest appetite, boldest ideas, instant connections with humans. Hypothesis: May eventually run NASA—or at least your household. PIPETTE: Experiment Summary: Once shy, now turbo-charged. Small chin spot = big personality. Lab Notes: Executes zoomies at the speed of light, often with comedic crash landings. Hypothesis: Requires daily lap time to recharge superpowers. FLASK: experiment Summary: The social butterfly. Never met a toy she didn’t want to dissect. Lab Notes: Starts the game, starts the cuddle session, starts everything. Hypothesis: Believes life is better with confetti, belly rubs, and snacks BEAKER: Experiment Summary: Smaller sibling with gentle energy. Lab Notes: Shy at first, then morphs into goofy wrestler. Plays well solo or with others. Hypothesis: Will adapt seamlessly into any home, possibly stealing everyone’s pillows BUNSEN: Experiment Summary: Stunning gray eyes + soul-melting snuggles. Team captain of the litter. Lab Notes: First to greet, first to kiss, first to fall asleep upside-down. Hypothesis: Tail wag speed may break world records. FINAL REPORT The Lab Equipment Puppies are an experiment in happiness gone terribly right. Adopt one today and discover the proven science of joy, snuggles, and muddy paw prints. Side effects include: Laughing until you cry A mysteriously empty fridge (puppy hunger is eternal) Friends suddenly visiting “just to see the dog” Forgetting what life was like before your new lab partner  So…which one of these tiny scientists is about to run experiments on your heart?   September 22, 2025, 12:07 am

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