MEET ELODIE…a sweetheart of a 20 lb, 3 yr old, gray and white, Lhasa/Silky Terrier X…who came to us from the Inland Valley Humane Society. Not our typical pull, Elodie needed out and we came to her rescue!
At first arrival, not uncommon, Elodie was confused and rather shy. But, it didn’t take her long to come to us and give gentle little kisses to let us know she was calming down. We learned very quickly that Elodie is a decorator and if she doesn’t like how things are placed, she will move them — most likely, she doesn’t like being bored! So, we decided she wanted company and placed another dog with her and she was happier. While she still would prefer a human’s company, she settled down. She loves to go for long walks and is good on the leash. It takes her a little time to find just the right spot! With outside access, her potty training seems good, but we never guarantee. Elodie is still rather reserved, but she is warming up more and more every day and loves and is very loyal to her foster. This is how she will be with you. She is a good eater, a little fearful of new people on the street but her social skills kick in and she is just a wonderful, loving, affectionate girl.
We thought the ideal home for her would be one with another dog (prefers small dogs, does not love big dogs) — but presently she seems to not want to share the attention, so it would have to be the “right” dog. Elodie really doesn’t like being left behind and definitely not long hours. Ideally, her humans or a human is around 90% of the time because while she doesn’t really engage that much, we know that nobody is home 24/7. A family who works from home or someone is there would be the best for Elodie. She is good with kids (over 8 yrs), dogs, not sure about cats but LOVES HER HUMANS!!! Does Elodie sound like a dog who could sing a “melody” in your home? She’s waiting!!!

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!
