MEET ACE….and he's a special guy! This 15 lb, 3.5 yr old, tan/golden, Lhasa Apso X, came from the Carson Shelter, after another rescue pulled his brother and left him behind. Poor guy has been through hell, as this was his second abandonment after his thoughtless owners dumped them both in the shelter “because they were moving!!” This broke our hearts. I jumped into my car, pulled him out and immediately took him to the groomer and bathed him myself! Once groomed, we came home and he felt soooo much better!
Ace is a big cuddler and kisser with his peeps, once he has proven he likes you. Recently, we have learned that he doesn't seem to like other dogs and will lunge with most until he gets to know them. He is BFFs with Jett, but goes after many of our other rescues. He has a ton of energy and likes to jump up on you, so we think he’d be best in a home without young kids or seniors, especially with his need for training. We have found he is partial to female dogs and loves to play but seems to be challenged by male dogs. He does not like being left alone, so he might be best with a female -- perhaps a bit bigger than he is -- one who is submissive and won't challenge him. OR as your companion where he is rarely left alone. We know nobody is home 24/7! He's fine with some dogs (unless he's in a mood), but when you are around he doesn’t like them usurping his glory! He wants all your love!! He'd be happy as your one and only if you have time to give him oodles and oodles of love and attention.
This boy is a great eater and isn't fussy. He is very playful with his two female roomies and with his foster mom. He is pretty quiet, even when left alone he settles down. Ace would be a fantastic companion for a runner, hiker, active person who loves to enjoy the outdoors. He walks extremely well on a leash and does his business shortly after the walk begins! That being said, if he can't get out and has to go...he will use a pp pad. So far, we haven't seen him lift his leg, but no guarantees at your house! While he isn't a lap dog, he would love nothing better to cuddle up to you when the day is done and fall asleep in your arms! Does ACE sound like your kind of guy?
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!
