Naples

Doggie Protective Services

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization based in So. CA who has established chapters outside of the area to attempt to place more of the dogs that are dying in the shelters in So. CA. Many areas do not have small breed dogs and we transport and meet with potential adopters because So. CA is deluged in small breed dogs.

Meet Naples

Adoption Fee: $600   Naples is a 3 year old Westie x Shih Tzu mix who is ready for his next passport stamp: his forever home! Naples came to us from the local shelter. We don’t know how this guy landed in the shelter but we know that his next chapter is bright and will be full of yummy snacks and warm beds. With a fabulous head of hair and a unique looking cute face, Naples will be the Cassanova of every dog park he struts into. Naples has a hair coat but is not hypoallergenic. For those looking for a fun-loving new family member, Naples is ready for action!     Naples is a friendly, toy-loving, and adorable dog with a heart of gold. He is Mr. Independent but also Mr. “Wait Cuddle Me” which makes him a perfect fit for those looking for either a WFH buddy or an adventure buddy. He loves clambering up on the couch for long naps during the day, but is also standing at the door when the leashes come out for walk time. In the evening, his tail is thumping on the couch as he awaits a cuddle marathon. Naples has the perfect temperament in that he is both active and laid back. While he has moments of high energy, he also likes to explore the world at a leisurely pace. He doesn’t so much romp around with the other dogs but they coexist happily.   Naples starts his morning at 6:30 AM with a trip outside for potty before he comes back inside for some more sleep. He has breakfast at around 9 AM and then heads out for his morning walk around the neighborhood. He loves greeting his local canine friends and has a blast. Throughout the day, Naples plays with his foster siblings in the backyard and gets his tan on in the sunshine. In the late afternoon, Naples gets another walk and happily sniffs all the good smells the outdoors has to offer. After he returns, he gets his play on as his dinner is prepared. He loves his collection of toys and happily encourages his foster siblings to play with him. He eats dinner at 6 PM and then engages in more playtime as his foster mom eats. In the evening, Naples gets some cuddles on the couch before he heads to his crate for sleep at 10 PM.  Naples gets along fabulously with the dogs he is living with. They are all bigger than him but this little Napoleon doesn’t let that stop him. Naples walks well on the leash and adores his walk times. His tail wags so fast when the leashes come out! Naples will be such a fabulous addition to whoever is lucky enough to bring him home. If you’re looking for a taste of Italy right here in California, meet Naples!     Naples is an option for homes with prior dog experience. We will consider first-time homes as long as they demonstrate they have done their research on dog ownership. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.

Adoption Process
We require an application from anyone who is interested in adopting. Then we require a phone interview, followed by a meeting in person. Then if the animal is a match, we have a contract and our adoption fee which is $400.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
