My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

  Samira recently lost the only mom she ever had, who loved her greatly, due to hardship circumstances. She is a beautiful Lhasa Apso, about 11 years old and 16-18 pounds (at proper weight, she should be about 14-15 pounds).  Samira is adjusting to life at the rescue, and is getting along nicely with the other dogs. She really enjoys going for walks, has good energy, and is in good condition.  
 
          Samira has typical personality traits known to Lhasa Apsos. She is smart, strong willed, and somewhat independent. Once she knows you, she is friendly and sweet, but can be aloof with strangers. If pushed beyond her comfort zone, Samira can be a bit snippy. She is relaxing better each day, as she gets to know all the new people she is meeting at the rescue, and her fun, silly side is coming out more and more. Samira will do best with an experienced dog owner, who is patient, kind, and compassionate, and who has a good sense of humor. Lhasas are typically loyal and affectionate with their owners, and we believe she will make a great companion for the right person. If you believe you are the right person to give Samira a second chance at a happy life, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see pretty Samira responding nicely to our staff and volunteers, enjoying the attention and affection she is receiving. It’s a beautiful thing!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption contract that must be completed and approved. We require vet and personal references as well home checks. Our normal response time is approximately 7 to 10 working days. Our Adoption Committee works very hard to place our dogs in environments where they will be most likely to succeed. Please understand that we have more applications than we do dogs and that if you do not hear from us within that timeframe, we currently do not have a dog who we feel would match your needs.

Our fee includes neuter or spay, all shots, and snap test for heartworm/erlichia/lyme. We take care of whatever their medical needs might be before they are adopted.

WE DO NOT SHIP OR ADOPT OUT OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA AREA.
