Story
Meet Mr. Wonderful! This sweet boy was found wandering the streets of Compton, scared, alone, and unsure who to trust. He had no microchip, and after a 10-day stray hold Shelter Hope took him. We got him fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and now he is thriving in foster care, ready for his second chance. Sadly, he has been patiently waiting for his forever home at Shelter Hope for over 4 months. Mr. Wonderful is a tender-hearted 1.5 year old Shih Tzu mix, weighing just 15 lbs. With soulful eyes, a charming underbite, and a beautiful spirit, Mr. Wonderful lives up to his name in every way. Once he feels safe, he becomes a total cuddlebug who loves pets and snuggling in your lap to soak up affection. But he isn’t just about snuggles. Mr. Wonderful is an energetic, enthusiastic guy who loves to zoom around, and play with anyone up for some fun. And the best part? His foster says if you ask him for a kiss, he will run up to you and shower you with love. Mr. Wonderful is a jumper, so he will need a home with a tall, secure fence. He can be a little nervous with new people, but with a bit of patience and kindness, he will soon be climbing into your lap looking for love. Our foster says he does great with older kids who can give him the initial slow introduction he needs to feel comfortable. Mr. Wonderful is ready for the warm and loving family he deserves! —----- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers.

Teddy is such a sweet boy; unfortunately, my daughter and I are both allergic to him. He's playful, cuddly, and housetrained. He would be a great fit for someone who works from home as he loves being around people.

Story
I’m your soon-to-be best friend and professional lap companion. I love being close to my people… like really close. Sitting at your feet? Yes. Snoozing on your lap? Absolutely. Hugging you when I’m excited? My specialty. I’m playful, toy-motivated, and always ready for action, but I also give the sweetest snuggles once we unwind. I did well in foster with other dogs, though I sometimes forget that not everyone enjoys mouthy play, I just get so happy! If you’re looking for a devoted, energetic goofball who will fill your days with laughter and affection, pick me, pick me!

Story
Breed: Shih Tzu mix Age: 3 yrs. Weight: 9 lbs. Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: unsure Good with kids: unsure Energy level: unsure Good with men/strangers: yes Hypoallergenic: no Special home requirements or medical: none Additional info: Noel is the sweetest, most snuggly, cutest little thing. Her tiny little ewok-like-face and excited prancing are sure to melt your heart. She is a little shy at first but warms up quickly and has liked everyone she has met (men, women, and children). She loves to get pet and to snuggle her people and will take pets for as long as you are willing to give them. She gets the zoomies every once in a while and likes to play the "attack the hand under the blanket" game, but, in general, she is easy-going and lower energy, preferring to snuggle and cuddle :). She also loves going on walks - on walks she presents as confident and happy and doesn't seem to mind other people or dogs. She also has gotten along well with our two other small dogs, although she is more of a people-dog than a dog-dog (if given the option, she will snuggle and play with people rather than other dogs). All in all, she is an ideal dog for someone looking for a snuggly, small, soft companion animal. We all love her!

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING HALO AND HAVEN…a precious pair of 4-5 yr old, 9 lb and 7.5 lb (respectively), white Shih Tzu, who have been together all their lives. Their owner passed away and they were given to another senior who really could not properly care for them. When they got out of the house, they were taken to the shelter in Westminster. We were alerted to please get them out, which we did. We are not sure if Haven is the mom or the girlfriend — our guess is that she is his mom and only slightly older than Halo. It’s obvious Haven has had a few litters of puppies, but we don’t know if Halo was one of them? While they are very bonded, Haven does NOT like it when Halo mounts her and she will let him know! Other than that, they are two peas in a pod! Halo is more outgoing, will seek out love and attention and loves to cuddle and kiss. Haven is also very cuddly and snuggly, but isn’t as forthcoming as Halo. They are amazingly sweet and wonderful on walks, with other dogs and with people. They love attention! Halo likes to chase after toys, always beating Haven, and greet you with love and happiness! Haven chases after toys but doesn’t know what to do with them once she gets there and acquiesces to Halo! She also makes you work a little harder for her love but when she gives it….there’s nothing like it! Both are easy to care for — pretty calm and easy going — but they will bark from time to time to get your attention. They came with ear infections and have been easy to treat. Since they have never been apart from each other, we did not believe they should be separated. Now that they have been spayed/neutered, the mounting should end! Best home would be one where they have a yard to do their business but also go on walks — where family gives a lot of attention and kids over 8 yrs old are welcomed. Just keep the doors closed! 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!

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET LESTER….aka as “Dexter the arrester” because he will grab your heart and not let go! Weighing in at 17 lbs, this 3 yr old, tri colored Shih Tzu has not had an easy start at life. Dad passed away and he was left with a family with medical issues and could not care for him. SO…. relatives in Dallas flew to SF, drove to him in Sacramento, then to L.A. to deliver him to us, then back to Dallas. THAT’S love! Once here, we learned Lester had a double ear and eye infection, both treated and he’s doing great. Treating his eyes is a breeze — he does have slight dry eye and will need meds until it is resolved, maybe forever. Treating his ears can be a little challenging, but he gets used to it. He really is a wonderful pup who needs to feel safe. Loves to play, chase balls and fetch! Loves to be near you and get attention, sometimes demands it and will make little gremlin noises to get it (especially at dinner)! He will sit at your feet, sleep on your lap and be close to you in bed. He’s a big snuggler! Lester will replace any alarm system and will bark to alert. He will stand between you and the noise to let you know he’s your protector. Does have some resource guarding tendencies with food/toys — who likes anyone’s hands in their food!? He needs savvy parents who have dealt with stubborn Shih Tzu and will give him the time, training and patience he deserves. Needs to be reminded who the boss is! Ideal home will be with or without another dog, family (no kids) who work remote and can give him lots of attention. Told he was potty trained, but we never guarantee! Loves his walks and wants to please. As he gets more comfortable, he gets more protective of his food and toys…he needs a family who understand parameters and will work with him. If you’re looking for a best friend, look no farther! Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria.
