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 S’MORES…and why did we name him that? You have never met a kinder, more loving, sweeter 22 lb, 7-8 yr old, tan/white, Lhasa Apso ever! This chunky teddy bear of a dog is absolutely wonderful…smart and cuddly. He is sight challenged — not 100% blind but may only see shadows. He doesn’t really bump into things and is very smart. He is good following another entity (person/dog) and gets the lay of the land quickly. Give him a belly rub and he’ll follow you anywhere! He learned to go up the stairs quickly…and down the stairs in 24 hours. He also knew the path to reach the stairs — after skiing down them a couple of times! We love this boy.
S’mores LOVES toys! He will squeak them until the cows come home! He gets really excited when it’s time to go for a walk, happily wagging his tail. When he arrived from the Downey shelter, he was a bit of a mess and had a skin rash and was a bit itchy, but that is all calming down. The only time we have heard him bark is when a big dog got in his face and he felt threatened — but generally gets alone with everyone. He would even be good with kids over 8 yrs old.
The best home for S’mores would be one where he is doted on a gets a ton of attention. Experience with a blind dog or at least the patience to work with him is best. A yard and few if not any stairs would be optimal to help him with potty training and avoiding any potential stair accidents. That being said, he is smart and wants to please, so if you can handle it…he probably can too! Training for him to get the lay of the land is the best way to set S’mores up for success. Are you up for the task?
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

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.
