Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
THIS IS ROCKO…and rock’n’roll Rocky is a superstar!! This gorgeous, 17 lb, 4 yr old, tan/white Lhasa Apso is the real deal! Unfortunately, he hasn’t yet found a family that had the time or appreciation to get this wonderful boy training or give him the attention he needs. He is very loving, kissy, playful and happy under the right circumstances!
Rocko requires a little patience, time, and training. When you are walking him, he likes to run circles around you, but we are working on “walk straight” and he responds. He is very smart and wants to please. He wants to explore the world, meet and greet everyone on the street and say hello! Rocko is not aggressive, but he can be snippy with new people if they don’t give him enough time to warm up. He needs pet parents who understand the breed and will work on his human socialization. Once he feels comfortable with you (just give him a few days to settle in and he's there!), he's the most loyal companion you could ask for!
The best home for Rocko would be one where there is a yard, so that he can exercise and play with you! Because kids can be frenetic, we think he’d be better off without kids. His vocal manners are pretty good, but he does bark to alert! He’s been doing well with potty training in his foster home, but no guarantees at your house!
Does handsome, sweet Rocko sound like a pup you could “rock’n’roll” with?

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!

Thanks for thinking rescue and adoption and for considering saving a life. It will be the best gift you ever give yourself or your family.
