MEET KELLER….a b/w, 8-10 yr old, 10 lb, Shih Tzu, who is an absolute treasure. It’s unimaginable to believe he was tied up to a tree, in the pouring rain, and left — just plain left behind 🙁 How anyone could do that to this precious soul, we do not know. We received a call from a Good Samaritan to see if we could take this boy — and after looking into his cloudy but loving eyes — of course we said yes!
Keller has glaucoma, predominately in his right eye, and heavy pigmentation in his left. He is likely blind but may see shadows. While his eye pressure was off the charts, the medication we are giving him is helping to make him comfortable. He is smart as a whip, as he was shown to the steps in the backyard to go out, and he didn’t need to be shown a second time — he knew where to go! He has a “high stepping” trot outside and is pretty quick on his feet! At adoptions, he kind of tramples over the other dogs and is like a comedian to watch! He gets along great with dogs and cats but doesn’t need either in the house. He can be very vocal because his hearing has taken over for his eyes, so he likely would be better in a home vs. a condo or apartment. He likes to sleep a lot during the day…but when it comes time for dinner or treats…he’s right in line with the rest of the crew!
If you are looking to help save a very worthy pup, please take a look at Keller. With a little attention from you, he will fill your heart with love and joy.
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!
