Hi I'm tinkerbell! Nice to meet you! I'm a darling little granny havanese/shih Tzu mix-best guess? a little bit of hearing and sight impairment but definitely does not deter me from anything! I'm a foodie, love to be cozy, and also enjoy short walks as well as walks in the stroller! I love being around people and enjoying the finer things in life. Wanna be my best friend and enjoy the golden years together? please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet. We do not transport our dogs. If you apply from out of state we do request you come to Los Angeles to meet us and fly home in cabin or drive. www.apurposefulrescue.org

Story
Meet Leigha, a 8-year-old Shih Tzu who was rescued after being abandoned at a middle school. This little girl is the epitome of sweetness, with a heart full of love. Leigha loves to follow her favorite person around the house, always wanting to be close by. She thrives in the company of others, so she'd do best in a home with another dog (she's a big fan of her furry friends!) and with people who are home most of the day. Leigha can get a bit anxious if left alone, but does great if left with another friendly dog.She’s also a fantastic travel companion, enjoying car rides and outings. At night, she loves to curl up in bed with her family or is ok in bed with another dog. She also is ok being crated with another friendly dog (right now she is besties with a golden)! When it comes to walks, Leigha enjoys her time outside. We recommend her for a home with older kids (ages 4 and up) and someone who is ok with continuing her skin medication (helps with her allergies). We can not believe Leigha isn't adopted yet as she is sure to bring endless love and happiness to her new family! ##2054582##

Sweet Camilla is a funny girl. She came into our rescue a hot mess, but she’s in the midst of her glow up! Camilla has been groomed, put on a diet of fresh food, and will soon be spayed and have her teeth cleaned. Camilla is mostly house trained, loves her cozy crate and playing with toys, is extremely food motivated, and gets along with dogs, cats and kids. This lady’s got a lot of love to give and we look forward to finding her a forever companion or family to live a quiet, care-free life.

Introducing our adorable girl, Gigi! She is a 6-month-old shihtzu/yorkie mix. She is up to date on all her puppy vaccines and will be seen by our vet next week. We will know her current weight then and I will update it here so be sure to check back (: During her visit at the vet, she will be spayed, microchipped, and have a fecal test sent to the lab to make sure there are no parasites. She will go home with a sterility certificate from our vet during her adoption. She is house trained and will go potty outside when on a schedule during the day. She gets along with our pack here, big and small dogs, and cats alike. She loves to run and play with her playmates. She is a bit shy when you first meet her but once she is out of her shell, she is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. She has a beautiful, docile temperament for her age. She is learning to love her walks on a leash and is curious about all the things life has to offer. She is inside our home most of the day and enjoys hanging out with her playmates or snuggling up next to us as we watch a movie. We are set to travel to NorCal/Oregon on December 7 and would love for her to accompany us to her forever home! We offer out-of-state adoptions and can arrange transportation to your location, provided that the transport expenses are covered. The adoption fee for our sweet Gigi is $1500, which includes all veterinary costs, comprehensive care during her time with us, and ongoing training until she finds her forever home. Get in touch with us today and share details about yourself, the loving home you can provide, and your experience with the breed. We will be in contact with you shortly. Thank you!

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION FRANNIE HAS FALLEN FOR PIRATE AND WANTS TO BE HIS FOREVER SISTER… THEY ARE A BONDED PAIR MEET MS. FRANNIE….and this petite, sweet little b/w, 9.7 lbs, 5 yr old, Shih Tzu munchkin is perfection! She is pint size but she has enough love to give an army! She was dumped in the North Central Shelter with four puppies! They were adorable but they looked nothing like her! Other rescues opted for the puppies, we took Mama. So glad we did! Frannie is super affectionate and loving and wants to be right with you. When you pick her up, she clings to you like she is hanging on for dear life. She has hidden energy and lets you see it once she is out and playing! When she plays, believe it or not she plays hard!! Yet, she will climb up to kiss a baby and is gentle as she can be. She is wonderful on a walk, usually does her business after a little while of exploring and is happy to greet strangers on the street! She is friendly with everyone…AND she has fallen for her foster roommate, Pirate!! Frannie and Pirate love for you to throw toys and Frannie will dance around but doesn’t know what to do with them! She’s also great eater and is very playful — but can also be shy at first and hide under the couch! When she hears “let’s go for a walk….” she is ready! Now that she has Pirate as her buddy, she doesn’t hide anymore! Frannie could go into almost any home but we have learned she would prefer a home where she can cuddle with another small dog AND she wants that dog to be PIRATE. She would be good with kids over 8 yrs old — maybe a little girl wants to dress her up! They are really so special and they are looking for a family and hopefully a yard to play with Pirate! Do Frannie and Pirate sound like they could be your next children? 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.

Story
Beautiful rescued two year old 14-pound neutered male Papillon mix based in Los Angeles looking for his forever home. He will make you the happiest, most kissed, licked & cuddled owner ever! He has soft gorgeous fur and is eager to please. He was returned twice to the shelter, drugged kept in a cage for 90% of the day, and not given any of the help he needed to learn how to socialize unfortunately. He just needs a little help learning how to speak dog and understanding how to interact with other doggos and people on walks, but is well worth it. He would do best in a home with no other pets and with a yard he can run around and chase balls in! Fully vaccinated and all his bloodwork and labs were recently done and everything is clear. Please feel free to reach out and I can share more about him with you and see

Story
BANDIT, recently groomed and clipped, is a long legged Lhasa Apso/Maltipoo, who is 7 years old, 17 pounds, and has been an only dog with the same family (who could not keep him), since puppyhood. Bandit does bite people. His main flaw is that he is overly loyal and protective, and will take a bite out of a stranger's foot or ankle if they suddenly come too close. Lhasas are a very ancient breed and were fierce little sentinel and guard dogs for the Dalai Llama and Buddhist monasteries in Tibet. The 14th Dalai Llama sent them as gifts to the West, and they have been a favorite ever since. Bandit is neutered and vaccinated and we are searching for an understanding and patient new home where he can be the dedicated guardian he was meant to be. To learn more about Bandit, please contact: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (also our PayPal donation and sponsorship email)
