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
THIS IS HERCULES….a petite, 7 lb, 10 yr old Maltese, who just wants to be somebody’s baby! These are not the best pictures, as Herky came to us with a bad case of KC/pneumonia and we could not groom him for risk of him getting sicker. Even still he is cute as a button! There is no question that this little morsel of love, with a little primping, will capture your heart in a NY minute!
Hercules — a big name for a little pup — has a very sweet personality. Loves to sleep on a stack of pillows on the bed or on your head. His favorite place to be, while he is feeling a bit under the weather, is on your lap!! He definitely could be (and should be) your pocket pooch. While he is 10 yrs old, and has NO teeth, he still has energy and stamina. I was shocked when he ran up my hardwood stairs (but he couldn’t get down)! So far, we have been hand feeding him, and it’s fun to see him lap up his food! He loves to go for walks and does his business outside. The shelter told us he was housebroken (how would they know?) but he has marked a couple of times in the house. How much pee does a 7 lb dog have? 🙂 He is healthy…no heart murmur and no issues we are aware of.
For the most part, Hercules is very quiet. He loves classical music and loves to be in the car with it playing. But if you leave him alone or he is stuck on a bed/couch and wants to get down…you will hear a big bark that you won’t believe comes from such a little body!! As long as he has company, and you are paying attention to him, he’s a happy camper.
This little man needs a home that will love him to pieces through his golden years. Maltese live long lives and he has a lot more living to do! Because he has a bit of separation anxiety, he needs a home where he won’t be left alone if you can’t take him with you. We are still getting to know him, but this angel is one of the good ones.
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.
