MEET DANDELION….”Dandi” to his friends. This precious baby, who was born on 5/27/2024, is a white, presently 5 months old and 7-8 lbs, purebred Shih Tzu. His human mom is beside herself because she doesn’t feel her home is the right fit for Dandi. She has two cats, and even though Dandi wants to play with them, they are not having it. Since Dandi is only a puppy…she feels he needs the right environment and lifestyle to set him up for success and one that he will thrive in, and so she is counting on us to find that home for him. That being said…..
Dandi is very, very friendly; loves other dogs, people, kids, cats, even leaves flying in the wind! As all puppies are, he is curious and ready to experience the world! People have often complimented him on his confidence and bravery as he loves BIG dogs! Zero aggression, just assumes everyone is his friend and doesn’t pick up on a hiss or a growl! Gives kisses, loves to play with toys, steals socks (will make you a better housekeeper!). His lack of focus is difficult for his first time pet owner family.
The ideal home for Dandi would be one with another active, confident dog — big or little — who can show him the ropes as he learns how to be a good playmate. Gentle kids and a backyard to give him a place to exercise and blow off some of his puppy energy would be perfect! Regardless, he definitely needs attentive owners ready to commit to basic training to help him become the wonderful puppy we know he is.
AND believe it or not…Dandi knows commands like sit, lay down, come, wait, leave it, cross (the street) and “be free” released to exit his crate! My dogs don’t even know all those commands! He’s working on potty training and doing really well. He is crate trained.
At the end of the day, Dandi needs a home that will nurture and bring out the best in him. Training is essential, as few puppies come with a manual — that manual is YOU! If you have the right tools and temperament and you are looking for a wonderful puppy…look no more. Dandi is waiting.

Our event is located at 2116 Main Street, in Santa Monica, CA. Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household. Main Street is famous for its innovative shops and is close to the beach! Make a day of it!! Metered parking on the street and free parking on 4th and Bicknell Streets.
Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household....and do some fantastic shopping at the same time! Please do call us if you are coming to see a particular dog to make sure he/she will be at adoptions (we do not bring sick dogs to our adoption events). Please bring pictures or video of your home and yard if we have not done a home check (preferred)! Most importantly, if you have a dog, make sure you bring him or her to do a compatibility match with the dog you are interested in adopting!
