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

THIS IS ELISSE....who came from the Orange County Shelter a total mess. This lovely, but sad looking, 16 lb, tri colored, 4-5 yr old Lhasa girl was covered in fleas and had probably sat in urine after she delivered her babies. She has such a longing in her eyes....we just wanted to get her out of there. Elisse has the best manners of any dog we have ever taken! She is gentle, she is quiet, she is a cuddler and loves affection....she just wants to belong. She is a bit protective of her food.....but we think she would prefer being your only girl anyway, so she doesn't have to vie for attention or treats or anything else! Elisse seems to be potty trained, but we never guarantee. She is fine with other dogs but she does NOT like cats! She likes to go on walks... but when she is done, she can be a little willful and say "excuse me, I'm going THIS way!" That's a Lhasa for you! She likes to sniff and smell everything around her! This girl would be a wonderful addition to any mature household (even thought she is fine with kids, she is more of a calm and laid back kinds girl). Her coat will grow back with good food and supplements. When it does, this girl will be a looker!! Is there a place in your heart and your home for her? Let us know!!

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

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 Lhasa Happy Homes

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.
