Story
Meet Amélie – A Resilient Beauty with a Heart of Gold 💖🐾 Amélie’s journey is one of strength, survival, and sweetness. This stunning girl was found as a stray on the streets of Los Angeles, clearly in pain and struggling to move. Thankfully, our amazing community stepped in to get her help—and we didn’t hesitate to say yes to taking her in. Amélie was quickly transported to us, where we immediately took X-rays to figure out what was causing her bruising and hind end weakness. The results were heartbreaking: she had four breaks in her pelvis, most likely from being hit by a car. But Amélie is a fighter—and she’s been on strict cage rest for the last six weeks, healing beautifully. Thanks to her strong spirit and Dr. Williams’ expert care, she’s on track to make a full recovery without needing surgery! 🙌 Amélie is more than just a medical case—she’s a total lovebug. She adores cuddling, lounging on the couch, and being close to her people. Her gentle soul and affectionate nature make her the perfect companion for a calm, loving home. Amélie is: 🛋 A+ couch potato and cuddle queen 🩺 Healing wonderfully from her injuries 💗 Gentle, affectionate, and trusting 🏡 Looking for a forever home full of love and comfort After all she’s been through, Amélie deserves nothing less than a home where she’ll be treated like royalty. Are you the one to give her that second chance? Apply to adopt Amélie today and be her happy ending.

Sterling is a super cute boy!! He is a more mellow boy but is discovering it’s so much better to be out going and get love and be apart of things! This little boy and his siblings came to us when the mom was found heavily pregnant and needed a landing spot! They were raised in one of our foster homes and think life is just AMAZING!

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING LUPIN…an extremely handsome, 4 yr old (DOB 6/6/21), red/blk/white, 17 lb ShiPoo….and we know this (even though we don’t see the Shih Tzu) because this young man was relinquished to us from an owner who got Lupin and Robyn (see below) from a breeder. Unfortunately, she didn’t know better….and recently found herself in the middle of a divorce and no means to take care of her kids, so she entrusted them to us. In our care, Lupin has been nothing short of wonderful! He is a cuddler, kisser (once he trusts you), very smart, knows a few commands and seems to be almost potty trained (but we never guarantee). His previous owner said he has a very sensitive tummy and does eat a special food — but we are transitioning him and he is doing well. He LOVES bully sticks and treats…and he’s a good weight. Lupin is an absolute character when he throws his bones or toys up in the air and catches them…or when he greets you doing pattycakes on his hind legs…this boy is a clown!! He can be a little human possessive — but for the most part, he is just a big lover! Lupin loves to be with people, dogs and just about everyone! He will bark to greet you initially, but once he knows you, he’s pretty quiet. If you have a dog and are looking for a companion for your pup, Lupin would be a winner! We are still getting to know him, but we think kids over 8 yrs old would be welcomed! He is definitely an entertainer. He will need to sleep in bed with you and he will get as close as he can — even on top of you, if he has space! Since he does not like being left alone, another small, playful pup a must! Does Lupin sound like a dog you could love forever? 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! Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events! See our home page for more details about our adoptions at Lhasa Happy Homes Thanks for thinking rescue and adoption and for considering saving a life. It will be the best gift you ever give yourself or your family.

Story
Bear is a cutie with a lot energy. We have a 2 year old and a 5 year and old that he would love to play with put he just about can knock them over. But he loves them. He loves to run and he has tried to dig up the gophers in the yard. It pains me deeply to have to rehome him, but with us moving into an AUD in our yard which will cut the yard in half, and having two little ones. The time we have isn’t enough and he needs a family that has more time to love on him.
