MEET ORCHID….and if you love the classic, smushy face of the Shih Tzu breed, this is your girl. This angel is white with a gray/tan chevron marking on her back, approximately 6-7 yrs old and 11 lbs. A happier, sweeter, cuddlier, affectionate pup you will not meet! Orchid was overlooked at the shelter because she was a matted mess….but what a difference a makeover makes!!
She loves to give you kisses, loves to play with you and is just a happy girl. She loves to go for walks, is super in the car and gets so excited when she greets you! We have yet to hear Orchid bark….except when she is left alone without another dog or a person to share her time with (but she does settle down). She doesn’t have the typical separation anxiety, but when her pack leader leaves, she does get anxious. So, it would be best for her to go to a family where she is rarely left behiind. She truly loves canine companionship and people. She is a very human oriented dog, but nobody can be home 24/7!! Orchid is the type of pup you could take everywhere with you. She is well behaved, seems to be potty trained (but no guarantees) and aims to please. Orchid becomes a noodle in your arms when you cuddle with her…and she LOVES belly rubs (what dog doesn’t?) Kids over 8 yrs old welcomed and a family to dote on her is what she needs! If you have a home for Orchid to blossom in….come and get her!
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

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!
