Story
My daughter bought him for me from a guy in a parking garage. He is mostly Lhasa apso. He was a great puppy, but tried dominating my granddaughter, who was 9 years old at the time. Oliver went through 3 different dog training programs, and the last one I was told he had resource aggression. As he got older I got bit a few times, but not in months now. He is on prozac, gabapentin, and hydroxyzine for anxiety. He gets anxious whenever my granddaughter is here, and he will growl at me. She hears it from the other end of the house, and is afraid. She is also autistic. My daughter, son in law, and granddaughter won't come to my home anymore. He is mostly great with me and my other daughter and he is a great watch dog. I am hard of hearing and he lets me know when someone is at the door. He is great at the groomers, and with other dogs. We also have cats and they play together. He doesn't always obey, but he will do anything for his ball, which I will trade to get him to take his medicine.

Cameo is a great little dog.  He would be a perfect addition to any home!    Meet Cameo, aka Champ, #A5777514. he is a 12  year old lhasa-apso who was surrendered   to the santa clarita valley shelter on May 19, 2026.  The shelter is at capacity and euthanised six nice adoptable dogs this week. we couldn't let these this senior go to the chopping block. Our temporary foster reached out and said that she could take him if we would pull him. So of course, we arranged for him to get out of the shelter as soon as possible.  For more information, please reach out. Call or email Susan with any questions. 818.636.1522  Goldenyearsdogsanctuary@yahoo.com   ##2826479##

Story
Mom Millie (last pic) was picked up as a stray full on pregnant. A lovely family kept her while she gave birth and cared for them for about a month. We then stepped in and took over. The puppies are now 8 weeks old and are ready for their new families. They have been very well cared for and socialized. Such great puppies. Mom is only 14 pounds. All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET THE LOVELY MS. SAMANTHA…Sammi for short! Her previous owners swear that she is a purebred Lhasa Apso, but we think she looks more Shih Tzu! Whatever her breed, at 10 yrs old she lost her 94 yr old mom, and we were asked to help find her a new home. Sammi is about 12 lbs, tri colored, adorable and a bit shell shocked, as you can imagine. Her mom was a senior when she brought her home as a puppy and Sammi has lived a very sheltered life. Now, she loves her walks, does her business outside, and we have been introducing her to new things! She is slowly coming around and showing us her personality. All that being said, Samantha is a very affectionate dog once she realizes you are her friend. Her favorite places are either sleeping behind your head in bed, hiding in the pillows on the couch and crawling on your chest to listen to your heart beat!! She can be a little sassy if you do something she doesn’t like, but she is more reactive than anything! She came to us with a horrible ear infection and was very protective of her ears. Now, she loves it when you rub them because it makes her feel better! She also had a UTI, which we have been treating. For a senior, she has a lot of pep to her step and while she doesn’t really play with toys and she sleeps a lot, she is beginning to come to us, eat new foods, follow us around and be a dog! She makes hilarious grunting sounds when you give her attention and watching her blossom is really a treat. Sammi really needs a new person to love and give her the attention she needs. She will return it 10x once she knows you are her new family. She would be great in an active, mature home. Remember, small dogs live long lives…well into their teens. Sammi still has a lot of life in her and we are here to make sure she gets to enjoy it!! Could that be with you? 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.

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET HARLEY....and ruff and tumble, ready for prime time, rockin roller, who is ready to get on his bike and jam!!! Harley is a very playful 2-3 yr old, creamy white, 16 lb Lhasa Maltese? He came from Lancaster Shelter and was briefly exposed to parvo; fortunately, never got it. We have had to wait to neuter him, so he won't be available until after June 30, but he will be at adoptions on June 28. Once again, with all the unaltered animals around, we are seeing mixes we have no clue what they are! What we know about Harley is he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He might get a little protective when he sees other dogs or people, but only a gentle sniff and introduction and he's everyones BFF! When Harley greets you in the morning, he can almost bowl you over with active jumps and kisses and thanks for being my family first thing in the morning! He's a great eater and is more than excited to take his walk, then eat, then play, then cuddle and start all over again! He's been great in the potty training department he waits until you walk him to do his business! He will even sometimes do #2 on command or maybe thats just a coincidence? Whatever, hes regular and consistent and a pleasure to walk. We believe Harley would be best suited in an active family, with kids over 8 yrs old and at least one other dog! He would not thrive in a senior home. If you don't have another dog, and you have the time and patience for a very playful pup who needs to learn what to do with toys and how to play and fetch like a gentleman, then Harleys your guy. One thing: Harley will go into nirvana if you rub his belly while he is cuddling with you one the couch! We can only speak the very highest of this wonderful pup...and he's quiet!!
