Our Mission

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in 2001, rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs, cats, and the occasional pig. Based in Palo Alto, we serve adopters throughout Northern California including the San Francisco Bay Area (Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Marin County, Sonoma County, Napa County), Sacramento, the Central Valley, and Southern California including Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Diego County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, and the Inland Empire. We also welcome adopters from other states and Canada who can travel to Palo Alto for adoption appointments. As a foster-based rescue, our animals live in loving homes, not kennels. We have placed over 23,000 animals in the last 23 years. Visit www.dpsrescue.com to learn more and apply.

Adoption Policy

To be considered for adoption, please read the full biography of the animal you're interested in, then complete our adoption application at https://www.dpsrescue.com/adopt. IMPORTANT: Do NOT submit a Petfinder "Start Your Inquiry" form—these inquiries are not reviewed and will delay the adoption process. If we feel there may be a match, our Interview Team will contact you. If we mutually agree to move forward, we'll arrange a meeting at our Palo Alto location. A $50 deposit (applied toward the adoption fee) is required to reserve the first opportunity to meet.
