PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
MEET FARRAH....a silver/white, 8 lb, 2 yr old, Shih Tzu/Maltese mix....who was identified as a "unsocialized Lhasa Apso" at the Orange County shelter. WRONG. That just goes to show you how much they know. This petite little girl was going to be PTS and not adopted to the public because she was scared!! Farrah is very shy at first, a bit insecure and a little defensive with other dogs in the beginning....and she will bark at strangers on the street to protect you! But she just wants to be loved and held and given the kind of attention that she deserves! Her eyes are almost human, and she will beg for your love, follow you everywhere, until you give it to her!! Farrah could go into almost any home, as she is sweet, friendly, loving and easygoing.....but she has a lot of energy and loves to run around and be the puppy she is!! She is small, but she loves to run in the backyard and she is great in the car (so plan to take her with you!!) She is a little fearful at first, but doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. She loves to bestow kisses on you to let you know she loves you and would like nothing better to do than to curl up on your lap and have you love her! She is still coming out of her shell, so we will update this as we learn more. We do think a home where someone is around would be best for her. She seems to be potty trained, but we never guarantee....have some pp pads for her just in case! If you have another dog, that would be okay...bigger than Farrah, as she can be a little choosey about her friends. Don't be surprised if she barks at strange noises....she is just getting used to being a part of the family!! She has begun to play with her foster canines...however, it takes some time and patience on everyone's part. We don't know what her history was, but we do know that her future will be a happy one, filled with love and attention. Might that be with you??

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!
