* This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, July 18th from 12-3 PM unless adopted prior to the event. All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Adoption fee: $650 No passport application. No TSA lines. No baggage fees. No middle seat. This is the only Passport you'll ever need. At just 3 months old, this adorable Shepherd mix is ready to stamp your heart with memories you'll be talking about for years to come. Every day with Passport feels like a brand-new destination because she approaches life the way every traveler should—with wide eyes, endless curiosity, and the belief that every flower, butterfly, leaf, and squirrel is worth stopping to admire. Passport believes the backyard is the Amazon rainforest, the neighborhood sidewalk is the streets of Paris, and every walk is an expedition worthy of its own travel documentary. She'll happily sniff every blade of grass with the determination of an explorer discovering a lost civilization. And honestly? She's probably convinced she's making important scientific discoveries. When Passport first arrived in her foster home, she was a little shy and looked to her people for reassurance. It didn't take long before she realized the world wasn't so scary after all. Now she's blossomed into an incredibly affectionate puppy who has perfected the art of balancing adventure with snuggles. She loves exploring outside, but once the day's "expedition" is complete, she's more than ready to curl up beside her favorite person and recharge for tomorrow's adventure. Passport has an adorable habit of deciding who her favorite human is at any given moment. Once you've earned VIP status, congratulations—you now have your very own furry travel companion. She'll happily follow you from room to room, making sure you don't accidentally leave on an adventure without her. Bathroom? She's available. Laundry room? She's curious. Kitchen? She's conducting a quality inspection in case snacks are involved. One of Passport's greatest joys is simply being outside. She loves wandering around the yard, watching birds, sniffing flowers, and soaking in everything happening around her. She's also a wonderful walking buddy. New sights? Fantastic. New smells? Even better. If another dog gets a little loud or overwhelming, she'll simply glance up at you as if to say, "We've got this, right?" A little reassurance is all she needs before she's happily continuing on her journey. Passport has met children as young as eight years old and has been wonderful with them. Like any teething puppy, she's learning that fingers aren't chew toys, so having plenty of appropriate toys nearby helps keep those little puppy teeth busy. She has also enjoyed spending time with visiting Golden Retrievers and genuinely likes other dogs, although she prefers polite introductions over cannonball-style greetings. She's also proving to be one smart little traveler. Her foster family has already started potty training and discovered the routine that helps Passport be the most successful, and it's working beautifully. Like any young puppy, she'll continue improving with consistency, frequent trips outside, and a family willing to cheer on every success. She's eager to learn and loves making her people proud. One of the cutest moments of every day happens after her naps. Passport wakes up with sleepy eyes, slightly floppy ears, and immediately begins searching for her favorite person. She wanders over for ear scratches, rolls onto her back for belly rubs, and soaks up every ounce of affection she can get before announcing that she's officially rested...and ready to continue exploring the world. Passport would thrive with an active family that enjoys spending time outdoors. Whether it's neighborhood walks, hiking trails, camping trips, afternoons in the backyard, or simply sitting on the patio watching the world go by, she'll happily be your four-legged sidekick. Afterward? She'll gladly trade hiking boots for couch cushions and become your professional cuddle consultant. Some passports get tucked away in a drawer after vacation. This Passport will take you on a new adventure every single day. The only thing missing from her itinerary is you. So pack your sense of adventure, bring your love of puppy kisses, and come meet the sweetest little traveler you'll ever have the pleasure of knowing. One look into those soulful eyes, and you'll be planning a lifetime of adventures together. Video of recent training: https://youtube.com/shorts/ptax5w0ldRw
