Meet Armando ("Mondo") – Your Future Dance Partner and Lap Companion!
Armando, affectionately known as "Mondo," is a joyful and sweet little dog with a heartwarming morning ritual of rolling around on the carpet and a daily zest for life! He greets every day with a run to get his energy flowing, preparing himself for all the adventures the day might bring. Though initially shy, Mondo is a loyal and loving companion once he gets to know you.
Mondo is known for his love of “dancing” when it's time to go outside or when mealtime arrives! He may seem a bit reserved at first but, beneath that exterior, he’s all teddy bear. With a few tasty treats and some patience, he warms up to become a sweet and trusting friend.
Having had a challenging start as a stray, Mondo has spent time in a foster home, learning to handle his emotions and build trust. Now, he’s ready to find his forever home with someone willing to let him set the pace as he adjusts to new surroundings. He’ll appreciate a calm home, ideally with another small dog for companionship and guidance.
Once he’s comfortable, Mondo loves to be near his people—rubbing his head against your leg, curling up on the couch, and even enjoying a cozy nap in your lap during TV time. He’s crate-trained but prefers having his crate as a safe option rather than being confined. Exercise keeps him happy, and he's comfortable wearing a harness, making it easy to head out for daily walks together.
Ideal Home for Armando
~An adult-only household where he can feel secure.
~Another small, friendly dog for companionship would be ideal.
~Someone with patience, who respects his need to go at his own pace, and who will give him time to blossom.
If you’re looking for a loyal, spirited, and affectionate companion who may take a bit of time but will be worth every moment, Armondo could be the perfect match!
If you think we may be a good match, or you would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below my bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/9389

Small Breed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster based organization funded by donations. We are dedicated to rescuing small breed dogs, small reptiles and select exotic pets primarily from public shelters and other rescues. Being committed to keeping administrative expenses low, virtually every dollar received goes directly to the care of the animals.
Our rescue is uniquely structured to rehabilitate animals who are at high risk of euthanasia due to manageable behavioral challenges, such as dogs who are declining in a shelter environment or reptiles / exotics that have not been properly handled over their lifetime. We develop relationships to accommodate these specific assistance needs, which is what differentiates us from other rescue organizations.
We have assembled a foster team that consists of experienced individuals who bring particular skills from the animal welfare industry. This enables us to grow, educate and enrich our foster community in a manner that supports our specific needs and those of our animals.
Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animals beyond the adoption process by providing education, training tips, resource references, and an open door policy to our adopters.
