Are you looking for a pup as warm and fuzzy as the sunshine in Los Angeles? If so, Muttville would like to extend you a cordial invitation to meet Miss Santa Monica, a shy chihuahua mix with an elegant black face filled with frosting white and the politest manners you’ve ever seen. As befits such a distinguished damsel, Santa Monica has been pleasant with the other mutts and open to gentle cuddles. She is said to be an absolute sweetheart who walks well on a leash, so she’d be the perfect companion for a day at the Santa Monica pier. Although this tame little dame might prefer a mellower ride on the Ferris Wheel to the pulse-pounding roller coaster, she is happy to come along wherever you will go. If you want the mutt equivalent of a sunny day at the seaside, come on down and meet Santa Monica today!!
Here’s some notes from her foster:
Santa Monica has made herself part of the gang everywhere we go. She may be a bit reserved when being introduced to new people and places, but only for a moment. She likes to size things up before jumping in with 4 paws.
On our walks she stops frequently to soak in the comments about how sweet and adorable she is. She looks up at people adoring her as if to say thank you for noticing. She has a confident, wiggly prance on leash and displays a lot of curiosity about the world. This girl’s primary occupation is giving and receiving love and affection. She gives the most delicate butterfly kisses. Once she feels safe she will be offering up her soft tummy for pets. She enjoys being held like a baby so she can gaze at her person while she drifts into slumber. She is a connoisseur of massage both gentle, firm and given her mood some raucous tickling.
She will be an enchanting sidekick for someone who can be with her more often than not. She thrives on connection. She is mostly quiet and well mannered, but no shrinking violet. She will be happy to go with you anywhere. She also naps in her bed for long stretches of time, so you can work or do whatever you may need to do around the house.
She has been great with my senior dog. They have been sleeping side by side in my bed. Stairs are not a problem. She likes frequent opportunities to relieve herself and used the potty pads a time or two while I learned her rhythm. She has no problem with 8-10 hours overnight. She loves good treats, who doesn’t.
She is an active, young, senior girl with a lovely frosted face accented by a white beauty mark on each cheek. She is a complete delight. If you choose her you won’t be disappointed. You will be smitten immediately.
