My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. 

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.



This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, January 25th from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.

 

 

Adoption Fee: $650

 

Flan is an 8 year old Shih Tzu x Lhasa Apso mix who’s as sweet as caramel and ready to make you his perfect family! Flan was surrendered to the shelter with some of his culinary companions due to a change in living circumstances. We were asked to take him in and happily agreed! We scooped up this handsome 10 pound boy and promised to find his amigos! Flan has a light shedding coat so he will require some grooming. If you’re ready to find your new favorite treat, come pick up some Flan! 

 

 

Flan is a chill gentleman who can’t wait to make you his world! This dude adores his humans and according to his foster mom he is the best WFH buddy she’s ever fostered, as he is content to lounge near you during meetings. Flan is very even-tempered and fits in well to any environment he enters. He’s super flexible like that. Flan loves being outside and enjoying the sunshine but he isn’t super high energy. We call the window facing the street his “dog tv” as he amuses himself for hours watching the world go by. His current party trick is a fetch fake out… one day he will learn to bring it back he says! Flan lives life to the fullest and we know he will make every day an adventure once he joins your family! From walks to snuggles to playtime, he’s ready for it all!  

Flan wakes up around 8 AM and heads out to potty with his foster siblings. After his breakfast, he goes on a short walk before he settles in for a morning nap. Flan alternates between snoozing, cuddling, playing, and sniffing around the yard for most of the day until his afternoon stroll. Dinner is served at 6 PM followed by an evening of play and cuddles. He sleeps through the night on a plush dog bed. 

Flan currently lives with several dogs and cats and gets along well with them all. He would be a great companion for a home with a resident pet. Flan walks well on a leash and is working on his potty training. He loves meeting new people and is a great canine ambassador, but would do best in an adult only home. If you’re ready for a culinary companion, come and order some Flan!

 

  

Flan is an option for homes with prior dog experience. Kids should be over the age of 12.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
