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

MEET ADDIE…and she is a little, precocious mix of ShihTzu/Lhasa and Maltese: The eyes of a Shih Tzu, body length of a Lhasa and hair like a Maltese. But, you will probably have to do a DNA on her to find out for sure!! P.S. These pictures are pre-makeover. She has kennel cough so we can’t get her groomed yet, but we wanted to show how adorable she is! Hopefully, she’ll be at adoptions on Sunday!

Addie came from the San Bernardino County shelter, absolutely terrified. They made her rescue only, even though she had never bitten anyone, because she was so scared. She can be reactionary but not aggressive. If you hurt her (like combing out a matt) she will react and get mad, but only for a second!

Addie seems to be potty trained, as she has only had couple of accidents and on PP pads, but we never guarantee. When walking on a leash, she wants to run and she pulls…so she will need training for this. She is uber active and runs like a bunny, so she would like to go to a home with another dog and a yard! Addie is a bit dominant so she might hump to exert her alpha attitude, but listens to correction. She is okay for a few hours with another dog but she does not have separation anxiety. Just learning what toys are and wants to further explore!! She is a good eater and isn’t fussy, but she does get the best food!! Because she is so active and playful, she would be great with older kids and probably wouldn’t be a good fit in a senior home. If you are looking for a happy dog to “ADDIE to your home….” this might just be your girl!!

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

If you are interested in adopting a pup from Lhasa Happy Homes, please complete the Adoption Application before calling. We will contact you once it has been reviewed.

Lhasa Happy Homes will be now holding our adoption events the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month on Main Street in Santa Monica (check calendar link below for special events and directions). Our event is located at 2116 Main Street, in Santa Monica, CA. Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household. Main Street is famous for its innovative shops and is close to the beach! Make a day of it!! Metered parking on the street and free parking on 4th and Bicknell Streets.

Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household....and do some fantastic shopping at the same time! 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 pictures or video of your home and yard if we have not done a home check (preferred)! 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!

Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events!
