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 MS. GRETA GOOSE…who came from the Downey shelter as stinky as can be! This precious, 7 lb, 4 yr old, white (when she has hair) Maltese mix (maybe with Chinese Crested Powder Puff?) came to us with a horrible yeast infection, barely any hair and pneumonia. She was so quiet and sedate…but she loved being washed and rubbed down daily with a special cream that got rid of all the yeast and underneath was a soft as silk body just requiring some good food, meds and hair!! Hair grows! She is all good now and we don’t think it is a chronic malady.
Once Greta felt better…she came alive!! This goosey girl started playing like a puppy very, mouthy and joyful! She loves her walks and gets uber excited when she knows she is going out. She will even challenge a big dog to make friends with her! When she was in the hospital, she wouldn’t poop in her cage and stuck her behind between the grids to do her business!! She is pretty good here, but not perfect (will use a pp pad if necessary). Obviously crate trained though.
Greta longs to be loved and doted on. She is active and we don’t think she has fully blossomed yet, but she is on her way. She will bark at strangers or dogs on walks…but she settles down pretty quickly. She has a wonderful personality and is a kissy girl who wants to belong! She could probably go with another dog but she could also be your one and only as long as you are able to give her a lot of attention. Her past life has not been great, as the condition she was in would make you cry, but with love and good food, she should be a shining star! Are you up for it?
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.
