MEET GANDALF....and like his namesake from Lord of the Rings, this angel is a wise and old soul, despite his only 3-4 yrears of age. Gandalf was a wizard....but it wouldn't take a wizard to make you fall in love with him at first site. He is 15 lbs, tan and white, and true to the Lhasa breed....loyal and smart. One look into his big brown eyes will tell you that he will be your friend for life. His story is a bit sad, as he was being kept outside at a neighbor's home who couldn't decide whether she wanted him or not. His rescue angel talked the family into offering him a life that they could not provide him and they relinquished him to them. Unfortunately, he had ulcers in his eyes that went untreated, so he has a bit of dry eye which will require drops (but can heal). He was also intact, had no vaccines, no chip and was matted to the bone, with sores covering his back, not to mention emaciated. Gandalf is now turning into the dog he should have been! He is a total lover. He will lay on his back and let you rub his belly for hours! Show him a toy and he will follow you anywhere. This is a fantastic dog who wants to love you and be loved. He is still coming out of his shell but we believe the best home for him would be with older kids, possibly another dog == but definitely someone around to dote on him and give him a ton of attention. We love this dog and know that the family who adopts him will love him just as much. He will need training....which will only help him bond closer to you and to his forever home. His bathroom habits are pretty good at our house, but no promises at yours!! If you are looking for a very special boy, look no further!
Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, groomed, vet checked, dewormed, deflea'd and come with a leash, collar and ID tag,

We currently hold our weekly adoption events every Sunday (unless we are doing a special event) at the WESTFIELD CENTURY CITY MALL located at 10250 Santa Monica Blvd., Century City, Los Angeles 90067. Enter off Santa Monica Blvd and park in the ORANGE section in the parking structure. Take the escalator up and follow the signage. We will be located near the Brooks Brothers (look for the purple tent in the Plaza between the two buildings) from 12 - 4PM
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!
