JENNY--Help needed JENNY is in need of sponsorship in our sponsorship program to pay for the remainder of her extensive veterinary costs. We are raising funds for all of her diagnostic procedures--Xrays, Ultrasounds, CBC, Urinalysis--for her extensive dental work, and extraction and suturing of six very bad removed teeth, and for her bladder stone removal surgery, JENNY is a Maltipoo, a Maltese/Poodle cross. Jenny is 7 years old and weighs about 15 pounds. She is a cream and white color, and she is also hypoallergenic! JENNY is very intelligent and inquisitive. She is housetrained, sweet, gentle, playful, loving, affectionate, a lot of fun to be with, and not destructive.

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.

SOFIA IS SPECIAL NEEDS AND IS IN NEED OF A SPONSOR. SHE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Hello everyone, My name is Sofia and my personality is as big as my beautiful name. I'm a 11-year-old small 8-pound Bichon Frise mix. I am fun, loving and full of spirit! They call me a SPECIAL NEEDS PUP. I took a fall before becoming a BROC BABE and the doctors said I would NEVER walk again due to a spinal cord rupture. But my foster mom says I have the will to get wherever I want, nothing holds me back. My BROC Aunties got some custom wheels for me and you should see me run. I'm like a horse in its chariot, and I must say, I do look adorable. I take walks with and without my wheels, I walk with all my fur siblings and chase bunnies like no other but I need my wheels at times. My foster mom loves me and takes great care of me. I am still practicing walking and recovering and could use some help with my medical bills and daily needs. If youd like to sponsor me, please use the link below. Thank you! Sponsor Me: https://bichonrescueoc.org/sponsorship Please visit our website www.bichonrescueoc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

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
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING DOLBY….and another tragic story to report 🙁 At 12 lbs, 4 yrs old and tri colored, this very special Shih Tzu boy was given to a good Samaritan who took him because she wanted to keep him out of the shelter when his humans were moving. She was told he had a hernia…but in fact it was a testicular tumor. He had never been neutered and the tumor grew to be the size of a baseball before she handed him over to us — never disclosing this information. We got him to our vet and were very worried initially — how such a sweet, easygoing, loving dog could end up this way. GOOD NEWS while the tumor was malignant, it was the type that the oncologist says doesn’t metastasize, so the cancer was gone! We have done a needle biopsy to clear the lymph nodes and everything was negative — which for us was very positive! Dolby’s foster reports that he is one of the easiest going pups he has ever experienced and is a joy to be around. He was playing voraciously with his foster buddy despite the fact that he had an abdomen full of stitches from his surgery! They are still working on his potty training but report he is getting it! He is not hyper but loves to play…not super interested in toys at this point. Loves belly rubs as all dogs do…and is a super kissy lover! He is not yappy or barky but will say hello to the other dogs walking on the street! Not an aggressive bone in his body. Because of his fantastic nature, he could probably go into almost any home – but preferably one with another dog and a family who will cherish him. He is very people and dog oriented and whomever adopts him will be bringing in a wonderful family member. Does that sound like you? He will not be available until the beginning of November. 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)!

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET PRESLEY….a great looking, longer legged, gray/white, 3-4 yr old, 16 lb, Lhasa/ShihTzu who hails from the streets of Compton. A good Samaritan scooped him off the road before he could be hit by a car and searched for his people Unsuccessful in finding them, after several weeks she decided to turn him over to rescue for rehoming. He is now with us 🙂 Presley is a sweet dog who walks well on a leash, is great with other dogs and love to play! He came to us intact, no vaccinations, no microchip and needed the “works.” The vet will neuter him next Thursday and he will be available for adoption July 27. We are getting to know him and he warms up a little bit more each day. One thing we know is he would rather be with his humans and canines than to be alone! A sweetheart, he would be good with kids over 8 yrs old and he is an active boy, so he would love a yard and a playmate…either another dog or children to play with. Since he’s only been here a short time, we will update this profile as we learn more about him. Whatever home he goes to will be a lucky one indeed! Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria.
