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 DINKIE....a "dinky" little 8 lb, 3 yr old, black and white Maltese/Poodle....yet, if you haven't ever seen a black Maltese mix, that's what we think she is! With soft, curly and straight hair, and the face of a Maltese....this little girl is a doll. Dinkie came out of the Baldwin Park
Shelter and went straight into the hospital with pneumonia The vet said she probably had about 24 hours before she would have gone completely downhill, so we were thrilled we caught it just in time! Once she started to come out of her shell, when she was feeling better, she showed us what a great BIG personality she has!! She is a wonderful combination of active and mellow....and a protective little thing, too!! She will growl at unfamiliar noises to warn you that "someone's coming!" She loves to give kisses, but most of all, she really just wants to be by your side at all times. As soon as you bring out a toy, she goes nuts! She loves playing with her tennis balls and she loves going for walks. Dinkie could go to a home with or without dogs...but definitely doesn't like being left alone. While she is diminutive in size, she makes up for it in her alpha nature! Even though she is small, she can hold her own even with larger dogs! The one thing that would be most important in a home for Dinkie is the ability to spend a lot of time loving her, as that's what she needs the most. She is a character who will continue to entertain you and make you laugh...especially when she dances and bats her paws at you to show you she has "rhythm!" This is a sweetheart of a dog who will be a wonderful companion for life! Does that sound like your home?

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.
