PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
MEET DOVE…and we named her that because from the moment she came to us, she was so gentle, quiet and shy — and such a lady. This precious, 3 yr old, 12 lb, creamy white Maltese Pomeranian…who had very long, beautiful, silky hair with a Pommie tail…had a horrible case of kennel cough and I was afraid she had pneumonia. As she started to recover, her personality started to emerge and she is not only a sweetheart, she is loving, affectionate and a little bit on the active side when she wants to be. She craves attention and when you are walking her — she is great on a leash too — she adoringly looks up at you to say “thank you for loving me.”
Now that she has recovered, she is beginning to come out of her shell more and more. It’s pretty clear that she was loved, but she was in awful condition when she arrived. The shelter had to shave some of her matts off her behind so that she could use the bathroom! One thing, she doesn’t like her face messed with, so we’re not sure if this was a bad experience or she just doesn’t like it. Dove can be a little fearful and makes a game out of catching her and putting a leash on — but bring out the food and she is the first one in line! Great with people, other dogs and her toys! She rides wonderfully in the car and settles down quickly. She loves to run and play and seems to be up for whatever is on the agenda. Slowly but surely, she is blossoming and her foster mom says she is so good, she didn’t even need a crate on her first night!
The ideal family for Dove would be one where she is surrounded by love, affection, kindness. Another dog would be welcomed but not an absolute. She would not be happy left alone all day…she deserves a full life. She would love a yard, lots of walks, kids over 8 yrs old and good food! Yes, she is a foodie! Does this sound like a dog you could love and who could join your family?
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!
Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events!
