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 MASTER HOWIE…a very smart, 1.5 yr old, 17 lb, white w/ gray markings Lhasa Apso mix youngster, who came to Lhasa Happy Homes from the North Central shelter intact, with a broken pelvis and a cherry eye! He was obviously hit by a car, with blood on his head and his tail…but lucky dog, he didn’t need surgery and his pelvis is healing well; cherry eye repaired and neutered. He didn’t like wearing the “cone of shame” — but he is a wonderful example of the breed. We’re not sure of his mix, maybe Bichon as he has a more cottony coat, but the sweetest disposition…we all got lucky!
Howie would love to play with his foster buddies, but we can’t allow him to get that active at this writing. So, he plays laying down!! He will try to go after a toy, so we know he likes them, but we can’t let him chase. He is a great eater and we believe he is potty trained, but we never guarantee. He goes out and does his business and will love to walk once he can go further than a half a block!!
We know that Howie really wants a canine companion and you to give him love! You will be rewarded with him giving you gentle kisses and big hugs. Howie will bark for about 3 minutes when you leave then will settle down. He is wonderful at feeding time and never bothers the others because they eat slower than he does! He has good manners (although he does like to hog a bit of the attention) and while he is trying to be very active, he understands “stay back” and “wait.” So, if you are a family with another dog or two…and kids over 8 yrs old (he is so gentle, he deserves well behaved kids)…and you are waiting for a guy like Howie, he’s waiting for you!! He will be at adoptions to meet (bring your dog with you to meet him).
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.
