Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
MEET MAXWELL….A precocious, 10 lb, tri colored, 1yr old, Maltese/ShihTzu, who was given up because his pet mom didn’t feel she could provide the attention and environment he needed to thrive. That would include another dog in the home who Max can play with…a family with kids over 8 yrs old…a yard…and lots and lots of love and attention! He is just learning what a belly rub is, but as time goes on, he gets more and more comfortable and wants to be cuddled a little bit more each day!
Puppies can be a lot of work, and Maxwell has a ton of energy! After all…..he’s a pup with all the characteristics one should have!! Max is very curious, active, playful, kissy, friendly with everyone, everything you want a youngin’ to be! He loves kids and other other dogs….and should have both (another young, playful dog is a must) in his life!! Kids over 8 yrs best so he doesn’t knock them over!
This is one adorable pup, who just needs time to acclimate and feel safe in his environment. On walks, Max gets distracted easily and wants to explore the world! Training will be in the cards for him, so he doesn’t pull on the leash! He mostly doesn’t lift his leg when he pees — except occasionally on a tree or bush! He doesn’t like to be left alone and will cry for a bit but then settles down. For this reason, we think he would be better off in a home than an apartment, and a yard will be ideal for him to get out his energy with another young pup to hang around with. His potty training seems to be going well…but we never guarantee at your house. He does use PP pads 🙂
Maxwell wants to be in his forever home for the holidays. Can you make that happen?

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!
Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events!
