INTRODUCING YAHTZEE...and he is no game player! This sweet, beautiful, 9-10 yr old, 9 lb, tri colored Shih Tzu baby was dumped in the Palmdale Shelter a total mess. He supposedly had an adopter, but they never came to pick him up, so we were lucky enough to rescue him.
Yahtzee may have one shrunken eye (probably no sight in it), but that doesn’t stop him from getting around great! His coat was filthy and his teeth looked like he had been eating dirt (probably attributing to a 2-3 grade heart murmur), he is a sweetheart who just wants to feel better and be loved! Now that he’s had his makeover, dental and is getting over a nasty, “bubble blowing” URI, Yahtzee is becoming a new boy!
At this writing, we have yet to hear Yahtzee bark! He is very calm, easy going and a pleasure to warm your lap! He’s good with the other dogs, loves his walks and does his business on them. No guaranteeing he’s potty trained, but he sure can hold it!!! He likes to relax and sleep a bit while his body is recovering, so we haven’t seen a ton of personality yet, but we know it’s in there!
The ideal home for Yahtzee would be one where he gets a lot of love and attention, along with patience. We don’t know his background, and we don’t know why he landed in the shelter at this age — but it shouldn’t happen to any dog Shih Tzu live long lives and his golden years should be with a family who will love and adore him. ALL SENIORS should be loved and appreciated! Are you a family who wants to make the life of a young senior a wonderful one? Please apply!!
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!
