My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

TANGO is a swift little guy, 7 yrs old, 7 lbs, and ready to dance his way right into your heart ..... and definitely onto your lap! He was living with his human mom and canine daughter Sugah and pal, Peppa, until his mom was evicted from her home and they became homeless :(( From what we understand, Tango has been shuffled around a bit in the past two years...not because of him, but because his humans have had problems. Now, LHH has been trusted to find Tango a home. Tango's teeth were a mess, and after two dentals the vet decided many of them had to be extracted. But....the good news is Tango still has 6 teeth left and he is a happy camper...with good breath now!! He is a little on the needy side, but he is not a yappy boy....he is very smart....has even been in a few rap videos!!! He doesn't particularly care for younger kids, and we think he would do best in a home where he gets a lot of attention and someone is home a good share of the time!! He's become quite feisty lately!!! A retired couple or mature home might be ideal....where he could be your one and only...or maybe with another female small dog. He needs to feel safe and does frighten easily. His mom said he was housebroken, but we believe you'll have to refresh his memory! He can be a little marker...but he does calm down (now that he has been neutered). He's a good boy and just needs to be loved. He would likely do well in any home where he is not left alone. 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! Thanks for thinking rescue and adoption!!

Come see this pup at one of our adoptions events, either at My Pet Naturally (see calendar for event dates)....or on Sunday in Brentwood (near Los Angeles) at the Farmer's Market or at a special event we may be doing. Check our Events Calendar for more information! Please bring a copy of your application and pictures of your home and yard if we have not done a home check! See our home page for more details about our adoptions at Lhasa Happy Homes.

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. Thanks for considering saving a life...it will be the best gift you ever give yourself or your family.
