Story
Meet Champ! Champ was originally rescued by our organization in 2017 from Doha, Qatar, and flown to Los Angeles for a chance at a real future.  He was quickly adopted, and sadly after 9 years, his owner passed away.  He found himself at the Bakersfield animal shelter where we quickly were called and came to pick him up.  He is now looking for another new lease on life.  He is wonderful with other dogs, people, gentle kids and cats.  He is just looking for love again at 10 years old.  He is so precious!   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app September 2, 2026, 7:46 pm

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? 🐾

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING FIORI…a petite, extremely sweet 10 lb, tri-colored, 4 yr old Shih Tzu who couldn’t be more adorable if she tried. In honor of this year’s Olympics, we thought it would only be fitting to give her an Italian name — which means “flower” and she is! She came from the Baldwin Park Shelter, who were experiencing an outbreak of distemper and needed to get her out — lucky us! She had a terrible case of kennel cough, which was scary, but she’s 100% healthy now. And I am not exaggerating when I tell you that she is a champ taking her medication — she chews it right up, no disguise required! Without question, Fiori is one of the most affectionate dogs we’ve ever had. She gets uber excited when it’s meal time and is a great little eater! She loves other dogs and is playing with her foster brother, Bronco, nonstop! She loves to play and plays loud! Bronco teases her with toys and she demands getting them away from him. Fiori does not like being left alone and will whine if she doesn’t come with you, but does settle down. She will chase after toys especially if she is trying to beat out another dog to get it! It is amazing, but she seems to listen — comes when you tell her like she’s been here forever! She loves her walks and is getting the hang of going outside or on a pp pad. Be prepared to get lots and lots of kisses because she’s a pro at it! We don’t have any, but we believe she would be great with gentle, older kids 8+. Fiori is so well adjusted she could probably go with any family — ideally they will have older kids, work from home and want a wonderful, pup. She loves to cuddle, snuggle and be your girl. Local adoption only. She will be available end of September. 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)!

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. Because of her lack of socializing, we believe an adult only home would be the best for her, as she has demonstrated a little fear around strangers (mainly men) or people who do not give her time to get to know her. 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, no children, 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.
