SANTIAGO

My story

Meet Santiago – The Tap-Dancing Goofball with a Heart of Gold!Santiago is the definition of joy in a dog suit! This lovable goofball is all about making friends and spreading happiness wherever he goes. With his signature “tap dance” and wiggly butt when greeting people, he’s sure to melt your heart the moment you meet him.Santiago’s journey hasn’t been easy—he was found tied up, underweight, and a bit down on his luck. But with love and care, he’s bounced back and is now thriving. He recently stole the show at an adoption event, running up to greet everyone with excited barks and plenty of tail wags. He’s still learning a few manners (like personal space!), but his affectionate nature shines through every slobbery kiss.In playgroups, Santiago has shown he can get along with other dogs, especially when the energy is calm and structured. He’s playful, vocal, and a bit of a teacher’s pet—helping shy dogs come out of their shells. However, he can get overwhelmed and tends to guard toys, so we think Santiago would be happiest as the only pet in the home where he can relax, play, and soak up all the love.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who’s always ready for adventure—or a cuddle on the couch—Santiago might just be your perfect match.Come meet him at the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center and see for yourself what a gem he is!
