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 Paloma

Adoption Fee: $700   Paloma is a 4 year old Maltipoo (Maltese x Poodle) who is excited to meet you! Paloma’s former home contacted us when they fell on hard times and were unable to afford veterinary care for her. She had been peeing blood and x-rays revealed a bladder stone the size of an egg! We were able to get her emergency surgery and she is now on the mend. She came to us full of mats, so we got her all cleaned up, and although her fur is short now, it will grow back in lush and beautiful. Paloma weighs 14 pounds and has a non-shedding type of coat that makes her an option for those with allergies, and she will require regular grooming every 6 weeks or so so she never ends up matted and in pain again! Interested homes should be ready to discuss her continued medical care as well. This little lady has been through so much but she knows it will be worth it once she meets you!    Paloma is a fabulously cuddly gal who adores her people above all else. While our girl can be a bit quiet around new people, she comes to life when she sees those that she loves, breaking out her happy little dance as her paws tap across the floor. Paloma would love a home where her human is home for most of the day, as she’s always down for snuggles and kisses. If your dream of a perfect evening is a movie marathon over a shared bowl of popcorn, Paloma is your new bestie! She could even help you prepare a fabulous spread for dinner… as long as you slip her some chicken! Paloma also loves being rubbed behind the ears as her eyes blink close. Our girl deserves only the best. With her ever-growing collection of sweaters and bows, Paloma will rival even the most famous models as she hits the runway.  Paloma wakes up at 8 AM and rolls onto her belly for cuddles right away. She has her morning meal and then heads out into the yard for some sunbathing. Once she’s had her fill, she comes back inside for a nap before lunch. She gets a short walk in the afternoon before spending some time on her foster mom’s lap. She has dinner at 6 PM before she spends the rest of her evening lounging on the couch until she’s ready for bed.  Paloma lives with several small dogs and gets along well with all of them. She is a little hesitant when meeting new people but if she is given the chance to settle in she is set! Paloma can’t wait to find her lucky family to show her the best pampered life ever!     Paloma is only an option for homes with prior dog owning experience who are prepared to handle her ongoing care. Kids should be over the age of 9.

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.
