Here's what the humans have to say about me:
***ADOPTION PENDING***
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
MEET GEORGIE AND GRACIE….yes, we believe a mother and son. You can tell that Georgie — an adorable 4 yr old, gray/white, 14 lb Shih Tzu — is a total ham! He strives for attention wherever he is! Mom, Gracie, a precious 8-9 yr old, red/white, 13.5 lb, who could not be sweeter if she tried. While they are bonded and play like children, it is clear that Gracie was bred and bred and bred 🙁 (Our vet thought they were both younger, but we think we have aged them right). Gracie had a hernia, mammary tumors…and a tumor in her uterus along with pyometra. All gone; no more breeding for this angel. Gracie has had a tough going of it and is lucky to be alive and in our care. Despite what she has been through, nothing really phases her! She is happy, kissy and loves attention.
Georgie is a free spirit! He LOVES his mom and will play with her if given the opportunity. They are both great eaters and seem to be potty trained outside or to a pp pad, but you know we never guarantee! Georgie loves giving kisses, toys and has been known to steal from his other roomies. They are both very quiet and really don’t bark much. They are good on walks (Gracie is recovering from her surgery so she is a little slower) — of course, Georgie is the leader of the pack! Gracie, too, will look for any opportunity to get her belly rubbed or give you kisses of appreciation. They both have eye issues probably requiring drops for the rest of their lives; Gracie a little worse than Georgie. Vet thinks it could be a congenital issue; so far they do just fine! Gracie is missing some teeth but Georgie’s teeth look like he is a puppy! They are truly a wonderful pair.
Georgie is very active, so it would be great for them to go to a home that can appreciate the best of all worlds…a charming, more sedate Shih Tzu who just wants to play with her son, get belly rubs and give you kisses…and an active, “take me running with you!” Shih Tzu who is a character and will keep you smiling from ear to ear. Do these kids sound like they could fit into your home? They are waiting!!!
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!

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.
