My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION

MEET FINNEY….a precocious, gray/white, 12 lb, 4 yr old, Shih Tzu, who came from the shelter smothered in fleas, an ear infection, FAD (flea allergy dermititis) and giardia. POOF….TREATED AND ALL GONE!!

This little man has been through it all and he is quite a character! He loves his food, his toys, going on walks, snuggling in bed and YOU! He isn’t fond of the groomer (and can be a little snippy)…but once he settles down, he’s OK but still not his favorite place. He did get better the second time around!! Once Finney knows you, he is playful, happy, so sweet and gregarious and oh so kissy! When he finally discovered toys…he went to town! Plus…he is a curious little bugger! I couldn’t find him for a second and he was exploring the closet!

Finney doesn’t enjoy being left behind and he is good with other dogs, so it would probably be best for him to have a BFF when you are gone. Nobody is around 24/7. While Finney is loving and attentive, he can also be independent and happy playing with his toys. He makes the cutest little gurgling sounds when he is playing, as if to say, “I’m having a fantastic time.” HA!! He would be good around older children (10+) and is a very happy go lucky boy. His only training issue (besides needing general obedience) is he will need help with his potty training. Hopefully, once he is healthy 100% this will be easier to train. He does his business outside…and he needs long walks…but sometimes, if he is not walked long or far enough, he might have an accident. That’s what mops are for! 🙂

Finney is a super boy…are you a super family? Then come and get him! He will be available for adoption on September 11.

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)! 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!

See our home page for more details about our adoptions at Lhasa Happy Homes

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.
