Story
🖤 Meet Onyx 🖤 At just 2 years old, Onyx has already overcome more than any dog should have to. Onyx came to our rescue from another rescue that was quietly shutting down. The dogs we received were living in heartbreaking conditions—covered in urine and feces, with severely overgrown nails and little to no proper care. Despite everything she endured, Onyx’s spirit remains bright, loving, and full of joy. When Onyx was a puppy, she suffered an injury that was never treated. As a result, one of her legs never developed properly, and the muscles became completely atrophied. The leg is noticeably smaller than her others, but the good news is that she still has some use of it, gets around remarkably well, and it does not cause her pain. After consulting with veterinarians, it was decided that amputation was not necessary. In fact, Onyx gets around so well that she currently walks 3–4 city blocks before hopping into a stroller for a short rest, then happily gets back out and walks another 2–3 blocks. Don’t let her special needs fool you—Onyx loves to play! She is dog-friendly, enjoys romping around with her canine friends, and keeps up surprisingly well despite her bad leg. She also has the cutest little underbite that makes her impossible not to fall in love with. Onyx is spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find the forever family she has always deserved. All she wants is a safe home, a soft bed, and people who will love her for the incredible dog she is. Could you be the happy ending to Onyx’s story? 🐾

Story
Finnee is an adorable Shih Tzu mix, about 8 years old and weighs about 13 lbs. This little guy had a rough life with his previous owners, so we were very excited to have the opportunity to bring him into our group where he is now in a loving foster home. He is very sweet, loves belly rubs and is learning to play with toys. He would be best suited in a quiet home with someone that can spend lots of quality time with him. Preferably a female owner, no children of any age. He gets along fine with other dogs. Finnee is up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in him, please go to our website: www.amrdog.org and complete the application. LOCAL AREA ADOPTION ONLY

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING MS. PIPPI….a pretty little Miss who was dumped in the Chesterfield South LA shelter because her family didn’t have time for her. This 12 lb, 1-2 yr old, b/w Shih Tzu mix was absolutely petrified and was very snappy in the shelter. Poor girl crouched in the back of the kennel shaking like a leaf!! When we saw her, we realized she was not aggressive, but reactive to the unknown…and there was a lot of that in the shelter. Cut to: Almost a week out of the shelter, Pippi is starting to come out of her shell. She loves to play with toys and will even fetch and bring the toy back to you!! She is very quiet, unless she is all alone and getting no attention…then she might let you know she’s there by nosing your hand to solicit a pet! Once you give her love and she sees you are a friend, she is loving and affectionate. She is young and smart but was not properly socialized, so it might take a minute for her to understand who you are and what to do. The ideal home/family for Pippi would be one that can be patient with her and give her unconditional love and affection slowly, but surely. She responds pretty quickly and wants to trust. It would be best for her to have a yard, as she was never walked so she doesn’t know that’s where she is supposed to do her business! At this time, she is going on the PP pads and always hitting her mark! She is a lovely girl and will be an exceptional companion to the right home. An active lifestyle, probably no children or older kids, would be the best scenario. When you look into her eyes and see the love, you’ll be smitten 🙂 Come and get her! 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.

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET LUNA....a precious, special needs 4yr old (DOB 7/4/22), tan-with-black-tips, 12 lb Shih Tzu mix, who sadly had to be given up for financial reasons. When Luna was brought into this world she was very loved by her family. She was an adorable, normal, healthy, puppy, whom they treasured. Unfortunately, unforeseen medical maladies, and a horrible economy, has forced them to make the difficult decision to relinquish Luna to us for rehoming. They just were unable to handle normal vetting costs and they wanted her to have the life she deserves. Despite her challenges, Luna is a pip!! She has IVDD, a disc disease that is under control, but we are investigating treatment possibilities. She is not paralyzed (please watch her video!), she gets along great with her wheels and she can potty on her own!! She also had pyometra (an often-deadly uterine infection) and immediately underwent surgery and has recovered nicely. She is a young, otherwise healthy adult pup who is a sweetheart, a joy to be around, gives kisses and looks at you with those big brown eyes and you cant say no to her no matter what! She is fine with other dogs but really becomes attached to her humans and demonstrates what real love is. The ideal home for Luna will definitely have a yard and time to give her the attention she deserves. She practically flies with her wheels and loves her walks! Luna may have special needs...but she is special indeed and deserves the best life ever. Can you give it to her? She wont cause any trouble, she promises! Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria.
