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.

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.

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 18 lbs, this 3 yr old, tri colored, Shih Tzu has not had an easy start at life. His dad passed away and he was left with a family who had medical issues and could not properly care for him. SO…. relatives in Dallas flew to SF, drove to his home in Sacramento, then down to L.A. to deliver him to us and flew back to Dallas. Now THAT’S love! Once here, we learned Lester had a double ear and eye infection, which were both treated and he’s doing great. 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 in his surroundings. 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! You can expect him to sit at your feet, sleep on your lap and be close to you in bed. He’s a big cuddler! Lester will replace any alarm system you may have 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. Remind him who the boss is, just like a kid he doesn’t like “no” but learns! Ideal home will be with or without another dog, family who works 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 understands parameters and will work with him. If you’re looking for a best friend, look no farther!

Story

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING DOLBY….and another tragic story to report 🙁 At 12 lbs, 4 yrs old and tri colored, this very special Shih Tzu boy was given to a good Samaritan who took him because she wanted to keep him out of the shelter when his humans were moving. She was told he had a hernia…but in fact it was a testicular tumor. He had never been neutered and the tumor grew to be the size of a baseball before she handed him over to us — never disclosing this information. We got him to our vet and were very worried initially — how such a sweet, easygoing, loving dog could end up this way. GOOD NEWS while the tumor was malignant, it was the type that the oncologist says doesn’t metastasize, so the cancer was gone! We have done a needle biopsy to clear the lymph nodes and everything was negative — which for us was very positive! Dolby’s foster reports that he is one of the easiest going pups he has ever experienced and is a joy to be around. He was playing voraciously with his foster buddy despite the fact that he had an abdomen full of stitches from his surgery! They are still working on his potty training but report he is getting it! He is not hyper but loves to play…not super interested in toys at this point. Loves belly rubs as all dogs do…and is a super kissy lover! He is not yappy or barky but will say hello to the other dogs walking on the street! Not an aggressive bone in his body. Because of his fantastic nature, he could probably go into almost any home – but preferably one with another dog and a family who will cherish him. He is very people and dog oriented and whomever adopts him will be bringing in a wonderful family member. Does that sound like you? He will not be available until the beginning of November.

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET PRESLEY….a great looking, longer legged, gray/white, 3-4 yr old, 16 lb, Lhasa/ShihTzu who hails from the streets of Compton. A good Samaritan scooped him off the road before he could be hit by a car and searched for his people Unsuccessful in finding them, after several weeks she decided to turn him over to rescue for rehoming. He is now with us 🙂 Presley is a sweet dog who walks well on a leash, is great with other dogs and love to play! He came to us intact, no vaccinations, no microchip and needed the “works.” The vet will neuter him next Thursday and he will be available for adoption July 27. We are getting to know him and he warms up a little bit more each day. One thing we know is he would rather be with his humans and canines than to be alone! A sweetheart, he would be good with kids over 8 yrs old and he is an active boy, so he would love a yard and a playmate…either another dog or children to play with. Since he’s only been here a short time, we will update this profile as we learn more about him. Whatever home he goes to will be a lucky one indeed! Our website is updated daily.

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET LILLI….”Lilli pad” to her close friends and relatives! This little 11 lb, 5-6 yr old, gray/white spitfire has had an awful life :(. How or why she originally landed in the shelter we do not know, but she was matted to the bone a year+, adopted by a 92 yr old woman who neglected her for a year and then given to another senior to care for her who couldn’t have two dogs in her living environment 🙁 Once we got her to the groomer and had all the knots and matts and who knows what else the groomer found, he said “if I could, I would take her home with me — she’s so cute!” He never says that about anyone! Lilli has a lot of pent up energy after living with two seniors. She loves to play — taking pictures of her was a feat! She loves to go in circles when she is excited and sometimes even when she does her business! She is a kissy face girl who is very busy and just wants to be a girly girl! She was trained to go on a pp pad, but we have worked with her and she goes outside — a couple of accidents here and there on the pp pad! She doesn’t really play with toys — she will chase after them but leave them wherever they land. Lilli would love to have a companion pup to play with as she is trying to play with our other foster dog and he’s not having it! A family with older kids would even be a possibility!! She walks pretty well on a leash and barks when you are getting ready to take her out….and when you are getting ready to feed her! Other than that, she is very quiet. Her former owner says she would love her to have a yard to play in!! Lilli hasn’t been here long so that is about all we can tell you. We will update her profile as we learn more!

Story

Hendrix is an 8-year-old Papillon mix with two beautiful, mismatched eyes. His world was turned upside down when his family moved to Canada and, sadly, left him behind in their backyard. We don’t know how long he was out there, but it looked like he got tangled in his harness, leaving his shoulder sensitive. Thankfully, Shelter Hope heard his story and took him in. We’re not sure why his family couldn’t bring him along, but when he arrived, it was clear his teeth were in rough shape and he needed urgent dental care. Shelter Hope got him the treatment and now he is feeling much more comfortable. Hendrix is a quiet, curious, and independent little dog who enjoys his cozy bed, watching the world go by, and exploring his surroundings. He’s not quite ready for physical affection from new people and prefers to be left alone as he settles in, but he does appreciate having peaceful company nearby. With time, patience, and kindness, Hendrix is slowly learning to trust again. Once he feels comfortable, he’ll come up for soft pets and will even show off his obedient side. He knows the “sit” command, seems potty trained, and loves soaking up the sun. He loves to go on walks and explore. He’s gentle, good with other dogs, and continues to make progress every day. Hendrix would do best with a calm, understanding family who will let him come out of his shell at his own pace. If you’re looking for a peaceful, loyal companion who will quietly fill your home with love once he learns to trust, Hendrix is your perfect match! More from his foster: Hendrix takes a little time to adjust, after one week he has fit in with our two small pups. He loves attention and follows us around the house always ready for pats and attention. He walks well on a leash and is not aggressive to other dogs we meet. He has had no "accidents" and sleeps through the night on his bed in our bedroom along with our two ----- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers.
