THIS IS PORTIA....a 4-5 yr old, 13 lb, sweet as sugar Maltipoo, who hails from the Bakersfield Shelter. When we first saw the pictures of this little lady, we were told she was a Lhasa...but someone butchered her hair by the time we got her, so she looks more like a Maltipoo to us! Portia is a little blonde bombshell! She apparently has been bred several times...and she has a few cysts from breeding that will be removed when she is spayed...but she is none worse for the wear. She is just a happy girl to be in a warm, cozy home, with lots of love and snuggles. Portia loves the company of her human, but could do without her roommates -- she is fine with them but does not particularly like others in her face. She does not fight or quarrel...you just know that she would prefer to be your one and only! She has wondeful manners -- she will sit when asked and stay. She does want to follow you everywhere and will give you kisses to let you know she's your girl!! She would be fine with kids over 8 yrs old. We think she should be in a home that will walk her several times a day, as she needs the exercise! While she is not fat, she probably has a slow metabolism!!! She's not a huge eater....just sturdy and well fed! This girl would be great in a mature home -- or with a family who wants a sweetheart of a dog as a companion! She is a winner!!
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 want to give you the time you deserve, so please help us help you!! We will contact you once it has been reviewed.
First Sunday of the month, we hold our adoption events at The Healthy Spot West Hollywood (8525 Santa Moinca Blvd, West Hollywood, 90069) from 11am-3pm. Most every other Sunday, unless we are doing a special event, we are at My Pet Naturally (12001 W. Pico Blvd., West LA 90064) from 10:30a-3pm. You can see this, and many more, adorable pups at this weekly event! 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!!! And don't forget to check out our
Events Calendar for more information on events we may be doing! 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.
