THIS IS IMARI....our little distemper survivor. Can't really pinpoint her breed, but she is an adorable redhead, about 9 lbs (came to us at 6 lbs), 2 yrs old and sweet as a pup can be. She came to us from the Moreno Valley Shelter, and no sooner did we get her home, she came down with kennel cough. Our vet is an amazing diagnostician and he believed she had distemper. In dog world, that is like the "c" word to humans. We had just lost Zophia after her heart surgery, and I was not going to lose this little angel. At the hospital, they thought she would never leave alive....but Imari fought like a champ and while she did not come out of it unscathed....she is alive and happy and well cared for. There are never any definitive answers where distemper is concerned, and Imari does have some leftover neurological issues....but you can't help but fall in love with her. This video will show you how adorable this girl is....special, not just special needs: http://youtu.be/kJr7vBIN8tY. If you have a heart for a special needs girl, who will love forever and ever, Imari is that girl. She is on one medication for the rest of her life, and she has a little twitch which you can see in the video....but she climbs stairs (can't go down without help) and gets around wonderfully. She doesn't like to be alone, so she would be happiest either coming with you everywhere or with another dog, preferably. Give this very special girl a chance?

Rover 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 a copy of your application and pictures of your home and yard if we have not done a home check! 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!
