My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION

MEET DWEEZIL.....the former weezil!! This little golden/liver, 10 lb, 2 yr old, Shih Tzu came out of the shelter absolutely petrified. He was passed by because he did not show well, but we saw beyond that fear. He bonded very quickly to his foster mom....and to anyone who would pay attention to him...but he was very wary of strangers and sudden moves. We believe this little angel was abused, neglected and never given much attention. Once he became familiar with love and attention, we started to gain his trust and he no longer responded with fear, but with love. He can be a little protective of his person when being held....but as soon as he knows you....he'll be asking to be picked up and loved. He is a little kissy boy who just wants to know that you are not going to hurt him. For reasons of his past, we do not believe he would be a good choice for kids, but he would be a wonderful companion to an individual or a couple who really want to help a waysome pup. He loves to give kisses, he loves to play with toys, seems to be potty trained (but no guarantees).....and he loves to play with other dogs. He could be an only dog IF you are around, as we want this little man to get as much love as his heart -- and your heart -- can hold. Do you have room in your heart?

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,

If you are interested in adopting a pup from Lhasa Happy Homes, please complete the Adoption Application before calling. We will contact you once it has been reviewed.

UPDATE!!!! Lhasa Happy Homes will be now holding our adoption events most every Sunday at ROVER KENNELS on Main Street in Santa Monica (check calendar link below for special events and directions). 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!

Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events!

See our home page for more details about our adoptions at www.LhasaHappyHomes.org.

Thanks for thinking rescue and adoption and for considering saving a life. It will be the best gift you ever give yourself or your family.
