MEET JAGGER....who is an old soul, with human eyes and a heart of gold. When he arrived at LHH, this tri colored, 1.5-2 yrs old, exceptionally gorgeous Lhasa Apso mix was only 9.2 lbs. He was emaciated. He was set to be euthanized at the Orange County Shelter, as they said he was aggressive -- but this boy doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. He was sick. He was terrified...and abused...but not in the least bit aggressive. A typical Lhasa weighs 14-20 lbs....but Jagger was suffering from an absorption disorder which was not being treated. When we first picked him up, you could hardly touch him -- he was that afraid. Two days out of the shelter and in a loving home, he is following his foster mom everywhere. We have been treating him for 3 weeks and he is up to 12.4 lbs and climbing!! Jagger loves to hug you and hold on tight. When he looks at you with those human eyes...he can see right thru you. Now that he is being treated -- he is regaining his strength and confidence, and he has a cute skip to his step!! Jagger has the funniest "cousin IT" voice he uses when he wants to be fed or wants your attention!! When it is time for meals...he dives in with a zest that is a joy to watch. Jagger LOVES his treats and he is very food motivated!! As he gets healthier, his personality is blossoming and it is wonderful to see. We will not be letting him go to his new home until he is a minimum 14 lbs. One thing Jagger does not like and that is to be left alone....so his forever home will have another submissive canine companion. Kids over 8 yrs old would be great...and a family who will dote on him and love him unconditionally. He may need supplements for the rest of his life, but they are not expensive and help his absorpton issues. This is a wonderful dog who should not be passed by for this reason....if you do, you will be missing a loverboy who will love you forever!

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).
