MEET FILMORE.....an absolutely fantastic dog. His coloring is amazing -- mostly black, with tan and a touch of white; his energy at 1.5-2 yrs abounding; and this Lhasa X is just a wonderful, happy, playful, energized bunny! Filmore's favorite thing to do is play catch with you and he actually brings the toy back and drops it!! He bonds quickly to his person and loves to rough-house. He'd be fine with older kids but we think he'd be a little much for the little ones. Filmore loves to go for long walks and hasn't yet met a tree he didn't like! He always wants to please and looks to you for approval, he is very smart and will be easy to train. Filmore is a dog who will need to be exercised and would not do well in an apartment. He doesn't bark unless he wants something, but he needs room to romp and play. We think he would be best as an only dog, as he would love to go everywhere with you. He really is a manly man's dog for those of you guys who don't want a "fluffy" -- but he will need training to know who the boss is with other dogs, as he can sometimes be a little "pushy." His potty training is pretty good, and should be even better with outside access. He does get attached to his person and needs to know to "let go" -- as we believe he feels he will be abandoned again. So have time for him and make sure some of that time is reserved for training! This is a wonderful dog and I swear I would keep him if I could. So someone wonderful...please come and meet and take Filmore home with you....it will be the best decision you ever made!
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.
Most Sundays, unless we are doing a special event, we are at My Pet Naturally (12001 W. Pico Blvd., West LA 90064) from 11a-3:30pm. 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.

Rescue Group Info...
Lhasa Happy Homes is a private rescue and foster care organization, created for the safe haven and permanent placement of homeless pups, primarily Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Pomeranians and other small mixed breeds. Each of the dogs who come to Lhasa Happy Homes is cared for in a home-like environment, with an abundance of love, attention and special care. These dogs have been through a lot...and it is our objective to make them feel secure, safe and protected... so that when they are placed in their forever homes, they will stay there!
We are NOT a shelter. We rescue from the Los Angeles city and county shelters, and Orange County shelter. We accept Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu, Maltese and Pomeranian owner turn-ins who are need of re-homing for whatever reason (to save them from even a temporary stay at a shelter).
We advocate the spaying and neutering of all animals -- no pup will be adopted from this organization before he/she has been altered. We also treat these pups as if they were our own, providing them with care, attention, a loving environment and rehabilitation, when necessary, to prepare them for their forever homes.
We are a non-profit, 501c3 organization. The adoption fee for each pup goes towards subsidizing the expenses involved in preparing the pups for adoption. This includes altering, grooming, de-worming, flea treatment, medical attention, prescriptions, vaccinations and home delivery. Transport, where/when applicable, is not included.
Our utmost goal is to adopt to humans who will provide the perfect "forever" home for these little furbabies -- wonderful animals who deserve a second chance at a great life.

How do I start the adoption process to adopt from Lhasa Happy Homes Rescue?
1. COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.LHASAHAPPYHOMES.ORG
If you are interested in any of the pups at Lhasa Happy Homes, the first step is to complete the application. Until we know a little about you and what you are looking for, it is impossible for us to tell if a dog is right for you and your family.
2. APPLICATION WILL BE REVIEWED
Once your application has been reviewed and hopefully approved, we will contact you (either by phone or by email) to discuss this adoption further and to set up a time to meet the animal of your choice. You might find us a bit "invasive" with the questions you are asked…that's why they often call us the "Benevolent Lhasa Nazis." Our only objective is to make the perfect match, and we truly go that extra mile in search of exceptional homes for our little furry friends. Each has their own unique personality and characteristics. Their lives have been interrupted for one reason or another, and it's our job to make certain wherever they go next is the last time they will have to move! We endeavor to match the pup with what you are looking for so that they are yours forever more! We do not adopt to families with children under 5 yrs old; generally not under 8 yrs old and we rarely adopt out of state.
3. HOME CHECK WILL BE ARRANGED
The goal here is to make sure the home is secure and that the dog is not likely to get out and lost again! This will either be arranged prior to or after you have met the dog you are interested in. We may, at our discretion, accept photos of your home in lieu of a home visit.
4. REVIEW AND SIGN AGREEMENT
Pay a donation (adoption donation starts at $200). The donation includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, grooming, vet check, deworming, defleaing, leash/collar/ID tag and microchip. Then take home your new child!
We would be honored to help you find
your new family member.
We prefer placing locally in LA and Orange Counties, however, we will consider adoptions in Northern California and San Diego. We do not adopt out of state.
We hold our adoptions every Sunday at My Pet Naturally (Pico and Bundy in West LA)
