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 GUSTO...and a friendlier, easier, cuter tri-colored, 14 lb, 2 yr old Shih Tzu/Peke mix you will never find! We saw this boy with his family, just waiting to impound him into the Baldwin Park shelter -- three days before Christmas!! Before we could make arrangements to rescue him, he was taken way, but fortunately, we were able to get him the next day. His guardians said he was a wonderful dog, and they were absolutely right!! He is potty trained, good with kids, great with other dogs, a terrific family dog....but they were moving and could not take him with them. Ugh. He was a little skittish at first, but only because he had no idea what was happening to him. At our foster home, he is a snugglebug, giving lots of kisses, playing with toys, and actually does do his business outside (but still, we never guarantee) and he LOVES to play with puppies! He is quiet and easy going...what more could you want in a dog! They gave us his age and his breeds....and said he loves everyone....and he does! So, if you are looking for a wonderful companion, Gusto would be him!! He would love a pal to play with and kids over 8 yrs old would be great! A yard would even be better! But as long as he gets a lot of love and attention, this young man will be happy!! Gusto loves life and he will love it more once he is in his forever home! Might that be with you?

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.
