In the shelter’s words

* This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, November 7th from 12PM – 3PM (unless adopted prior to the event). 3910 Middlefield Road All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Adoption fee: $800 Lampshade is ready to brighten your home—and then find the most comfortable place in it to take a nap. This 2 year old, 18 lb Frenchie is a petite package of affection, happy greetings, and couch-cuddling expertise. Her usual speed is leisurely, but seeing her favorite person can briefly turn this little lounger into a one-dog welcome parade. A bright little personality Lampshade has been outgoing and affectionate since her very first day in foster care. No lengthy getting-to-know-you period here: she was ready to make friends, follow her person around, and settle in for snuggles. She loves being included in everyday life, whether that means accompanying you from room to room or keeping you company on the couch. Her morning greetings and after-work reunions are particularly delightful. After spending much of the day perfecting her napping technique, she suddenly springs into a burst of joyful zoomies. Apparently, even a committed couch potato needs to celebrate when her favorite human appears. Once the festivities conclude, she’s happy to return to cuddling. Walk, sniff, snooze, repeat Lampshade’s current routine includes breakfast around 7 a.m. and dinner around 7 p.m., with a walk after each meal. She enjoys getting out into the neighborhood, where every interesting smell deserves consideration and every passerby might be a new friend. She doesn’t pull strongly on leash, but she does appreciate time to investigate her surroundings. Her ideal walking partner will enjoy a relaxed outing with plenty of sniffing stops. She is friendly toward people and dogs she meets along the way and also enjoys greeting children. At home, she has a gated dining-room area that serves as her comfortable home base during the workday and overnight. When her foster is home, Lampshade happily trades her solo lounging for together time. An affectionate girl with a good off switch Lampshade enjoys companionship, but she has also done well when left alone for up to seven hours in her foster home. She may offer a brief grumble about your departure before settling down, and she mostly spends the time napping. Her foster has not observed ongoing distress during these absences. She has also been a considerate houseguest, with no observed destructive chewing or digging and very little vocalizing. Between her quiet habits, manageable size, and enthusiasm for lounging, she could be a lovely companion for someone seeking a relaxed dog with a playful little spark. A few things she’s still learning Lampshade goes potty outside on walks and also uses potty pads in her gated area. She will need patient help establishing a consistent bathroom routine in her new home before she can be considered reliably housetrained for outdoor-only potty breaks. Her crate training and experience with a doggy door are unknown. Lampshade has not lived with another dog. She attended a doggy playgroup and played well with bigger dogs, though her play style was a bit much for smaller dogs. Let there be Lampshade Lampshade’s wish list is wonderfully straightforward: affectionate people, daily sniff-filled strolls, a comfortable place to snooze, and someone who appreciates an enthusiastic reunion. In return, she offers sweet companionship, excellent couch company, and the occasional zoomie performance in your honor. If your home could use a little more light—and a little Frenchie curled up beside you—Lampshade is ready to meet you.
