Shih Tzu Lhasa Apso

Palo Alto, CA
Size

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
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, March 8th 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: $500 Flan is an 8 year old, 10-lb Shih Tzu-Lhasa Apso mix who’s as sweet as dessert and just as comforting! Like the classic treat he’s named after, Flan is a smooth, easygoing gentleman ready to sweeten up your life. Surrendered to the shelter with some of his culinary companions, Flan caught our hearts with his soulful eyes and chill demeanor. We couldn’t resist scooping him up and promising him a forever family that appreciates a refined palate and an even more refined pup. Looking for a best friend who’s equal parts cuddly and cool? Order up some Flan—you won’t regret it! Flan’s got the best of both breeds: the affectionate, loyal nature of a Shih Tzu and the independent, adaptable charm of a Lhasa Apso. He’s an expert at relaxing but also perks up for playtime with his beloved squeaky toys and a good game of fetch (though he might pull a fast one and keep the ball for himself). His favorite hobby? Taking his toys to his bed to enjoy them in comfort. Flan is a champion leash walker, loves sunshine strolls, and can turn any window into “dog TV,” happily watching the world go by for hours. When the day winds down, he’ll happily nap beside you—or on you—so you’re never short on snuggles. This little guy has excellent house manners. Flan prefers to potty outside but will use a pee pad if needed, and his foster reports he’s stopped territory marking indoors. When he’s ready to call it a night, Flan puts himself to bed in his crate (or anyone else's if it looks cozy enough) and can sleep a full eight hours before his morning potty break. He grazes on meals, politely letting other dogs finish his food—but don’t think about touching his cookies! He’s known for hiding his treats under blankets like a true treasure hoarder. Flan’s communication skills are top-notch. He uses a soft, grumbly noise to say “no,” but charmingly enough, he makes the same sound with a tail wag to say “yes.” Flan currently lives with multiple dogs and cats and gets along with them all, making him a great companion for homes with other pets. While he loves meeting new people and is a fantastic canine ambassador, Flan thrives best in an adult-only home where his laid-back vibe can truly shine. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, affectionate, and entertaining friend to sweeten your days, Flan is your guy. Why settle for ordinary when you can have Flan—a treat that never melts and always warms your heart? Flan is an option for homes with prior dog experience. Kids should be over the age of 12.  March 14, 2025, 8:38 am

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $850 The Munchie Bunch: Snackable, Adorable, and Zero Calories! Fresh out of the snack aisle and into your heart, the Munchie Litter is here to bring you all the joy of a late-night treat—without the calories! These four tiny, crunchy, and oh-so-sweet pups are looking for their forever homes. At just 10 weeks old and weighing between 5-7 lbs, they are the perfect bite-sized companions, and each one brings a little something different to the table. Graham Cracker – The Fearless Leader The only girl in the bunch, Graham Cracker is the queen of confidence. She’s got the brains, the bravery, and just the right amount of sweetness. If there’s an adventure to be had, she’s leading the charge! Whether it’s chasing after our Frenchie or outsmarting her humans (which she does regularly), Graham Cracker is one smart cookie. Kettle Corn – The Perfect Blend Sweet, salty, and just the right amount of pop—Kettle Corn is the best of both worlds. He’s playful but loves a good snuggle, making him the ultimate all-around pup. He’s never met a toy he didn’t like or a lap he didn’t want to nap on. If you’re looking for a puppy who can keep up with your energy but also melt into a cuddle puddle, Kettle Corn is your guy. M&M – The Cuddle Monster Melts in your arms, not in your hands! M&M is the fluffiest and cuddliest of the bunch, and his main goal in life is to be as close to you as possible. He loves playing with his siblings but would happily trade playtime for lap time. If you need a snuggle buddy who also enjoys a little bit of fun, M&M is the treat you’ve been craving! Chex Mix – The Underdog Turned Champion Chex Mix started out as the little guy, and while he’s still the smallest of the crew, his confidence has skyrocketed! He’s mellow, easygoing, and totally fascinated by our Frenchie. He’s a lower-energy pup who enjoys a good romp but is just as happy to lounge the day away. If you’re looking for a snack-sized best friend with a chill vibe, Chex Mix is your match. Life with the Munchie Litter: These pups start their day bright and early, ready for breakfast and some morning zoomies. They adore their foster siblings (especially the resident Frenchie) and enjoy playtime, exploring, and chewing on their favorite toys. While they’re still working on potty training, they’re great with pee pads. M&M is the most vocal when he wants attention, while the others save their barks for important things—like breakfast time. Their Ideal Homes: Graham Cracker & Kettle Corn: Perfect for an active family, especially one with kids who want a playful, fun-loving pup. M&M: A lap dog in the making! He’d thrive in a home where someone is around often to soak up all the love he has to give. Chex Mix: A laid-back, easygoing home would suit him best. He’d be the perfect buddy for someone looking for a more relaxed companion. These pups are sweeter than a snack aisle haul, and their foster family will miss them dearly! If you’re looking for a little munchie to brighten your days, one of these four might just be your perfect match. Warning: Side effects of adopting a Munchie Litter pup may include excessive smiling, increased belly rub requests, and a lifetime of love.March 15, 2025, 7:30 pm

Story
Meet sweet boy Leo! This cuddly guy absolutely loves being on your lap and soaking up all the attention. He’s playful, fun, and would love to be the center of your world! While he’s great with other dogs and people, Leo would do best in a home without children. He’s all about spending time with his humans and prefers their company over treats, though he definitely enjoys a yummy snack now and then. Leo is the perfect companion for someone looking for a loving, loyal friend who enjoys being by your side. Whether you’re working in the office or relaxing at home, he’s happy to just be with you. Leo would also enjoy a short walk or two each day, but as long as he’s with his family, he’s a happy boy! If you think Leo could be the perfect fit for your home, give us a call at 707-459-4900 to set up an appointment to meet him. He can’t wait to meet you!
