Story
Please see the link for her rescue video. Sassy is slow to trust, we like to say that she doesn’t kiss on the first date. But once she is given a little time and space, she is very loyal, affectionate and flirty. She seems to warm to men faster than women. We prefer an adult home, no kids. She can be spicy so we wouldn’t want to risk children not reading her body language. No health issues, no allergies. Good on leash and in the car. Good with the groomer.

Story
Meet Songi! She is the sweetest most adorable girll! She is a 3 year old that was rescued from a breeding farm in South Korea.  We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable.  Many of these dogs start off in horiffic puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth.  If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away.  Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat.   Restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South  Korea,  and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men.    Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions.  The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade.  Songi and some of her family and friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life.  These are miracle dogs that they are alive today.  Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.  If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app December 1, 2025, 9:38 pm

Story
Meet Auggie – The Sweetest Shih Tzu with a Freckled Nose! Oh my gosh…is Auggie not the cutest dog ever? This 2-year-old, 17-pound Shih Tzu has the sweetest freckled nose and a personality to match! Auggie’s journey to us wasn’t easy — he was surrendered by owners who kept him outside most of the time, where he would often escape the yard. Thanks to a kind neighbor, Auggie was rescued, groomed (he was very matted!), checked by the vet, and placed into a loving foster home where he’s thriving. Auggie is a perfect mix of fun and calm. He adores everyone he meets, loves spending time outside, and would thrive in a home with a safe yard where he can hang out with you while you garden or relax on the patio. He also gets along wonderfully with playful dogs, so a furry companion would be ideal for him. Auggie is happiest when he has company and isn’t left alone for long stretches — he’s a true social sweetheart who loves being part of the action. This adorable boy is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped — and he’s ready to find his forever family where he can be spoiled with love and attention. Trust us, once you meet Auggie, you’ll fall in love instantly! 📧 Contact: gina@theforgottendog.org 📞 Phone: 310‑990‑2020 Note: We only adopt in Southern California as we require an in-person meet & greet, home check, and trial period.

Story
Fun, Friendly, And Such A Happy Girl....Meet Tali! This lovely little girl is Tali and she is a 3 year old, 17lb, Maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle mix) with maybe a touch of Schnauzer. Whatever she is...she is such a cutie! Tali came to us when she was found abandoned on the scary streets of Tijuana. Thankfully, an amazing rescuer we work with out there found her and got her to safety. She reached out to our foundation and asked if we could take her in and we said yes! She is happy, playful, fun, energetic, and full of love! Tali definitely needs another dog in the home that will play with her or she could be adopted with one of her friends in our rescue. A home with a safe and secure yard would be ideal as she loves to run around and do the zoomies! Owners that are not gone long hours during the day would be ideal. Tali had a rough beginning to her life so we promised her that we would find her the best forever home out there! Tali is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. We only adopt in the Greater LA areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required. Please contact us at gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING HALO AND HAVEN…a precious pair of 4-5 yr old, 9 lb and 7.5 lb (respectively), white Shih Tzu, who have been together all their lives. Their owner passed away and they were given to another senior who really could not properly care for them. When they got out of the house, they were taken to the shelter in Westminster. We were alerted to please get them out, which we did. We are not sure if Haven is the mom or the girlfriend — our guess is that she is his mom and only slightly older than Halo. It’s obvious Haven has had a few litters of puppies, but we don’t know if Halo was one of them? While they are very bonded, Haven does NOT like it when Halo mounts her and she will let him know! Other than that, they are two peas in a pod! Halo is more outgoing, will seek out love and attention and loves to cuddle and kiss. Haven is also very cuddly and snuggly, but isn’t as forthcoming as Halo. They are amazingly sweet and wonderful on walks, with other dogs and with people. They love attention! Halo likes to chase after toys, always beating Haven, and greet you with love and happiness! Haven chases after toys but doesn’t know what to do with them once she gets there and acquiesces to Halo! She also makes you work a little harder for her love but when she gives it….there’s nothing like it! Both are easy to care for — pretty calm and easy going — but they will bark from time to time to get your attention. They came with ear infections and have been easy to treat. Since they have never been apart from each other, we did not believe they should be separated. Now that they have been spayed/neutered, the mounting should end! Best home would be one where they have a yard to do their business but also go on walks — where family gives a lot of attention and kids over 8 yrs old are welcomed. Just keep the doors closed! 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!
