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 Phil Collins

This dog will be at a meet and greet event on Saturday, April 6th at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express from 12-3pm, unless he/she is set up and adopted prior to the event. Those interested in meeting the dog can come out to our meet and greet event. We no longer do application approval onsite. Anyone adopting has been previously approved and set up to meet prior to the event. Adoption Fee: $850   Phil Collins is looking for a forever home so he only has to stay, "One More Night" in the rescue! Phil is a 3 month old Pomeranian mix who looks like a little Ewok, which is fitting because his personality is out of this world! Phil was surrendered to our rescue with his sister, Tracy Chapman, after their former home decided they no longer wanted to raise puppies. We promised these two crooners perfect next homes and away they went! We will be seeking individual homes for each puppy.     Phil is a total sweetheart who wants endless belly rubs and snuggles. It’s hard to resist when you are faced with a cutie like him! He loves toys and playing with his sister, but he is just as happy to snuggle the day away on the lap of his foster parent. Phil is also very smart and has earned the nickname ‘Houdini’ from his foster parents, as he manages to get himself into the goofiest little spaces when you turn your back. Phil is so handsome and is just the right size for lap cuddles while he gives you kisses upon kisses. Phil is so fearless and will jump from just about any height (like Tarzan) to keep exploring and checking out the world outside.  The puppies start their morning with a potty trip outside (after some treat based encouragement). Once they finish, they head back inside for breakfast around 7 AM. During the day, when they aren’t working on their next chart-topper, the puppies are playing with toys, chasing each other around, snoozing on top of each other, and getting their daily quota of snuggles! After a noon lunch, the puppies sleep for a few hours before going outside for another potty trip. In the evening, they have dinner around 5 PM before they scamper around the house playing with their toys and chasing the unsuspecting tails of their foster siblings. The puppies go outside for one last potty break before heading to their pen for the night. They snooze the night away dreaming of stardom!  Phil lives with a 23 pound dog and is doing well on his socialization. He lives with a cat and is learning how to be respectful of her boundaries. Interested homes must demonstrate their plan to continue obedience training and socialization to ensure he grows up into a perfect pup! For any home looking for an amazing (and adorable) forever adventure buddy, you won’t find a better bestie than Phil!    Phil is only an option for homes who have owned a dog of their own in the last 5 years. 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!
