Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

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 ELIAS….who came to us matted to the bone and very underweight…but sweeter than pie! This 13.5 lb, charcoal gray, 5 yr old Lhasa/ShihTzu/Schnauzer/Loverboy can be anything you want him to be! It’s hard to see his dreadlocks, but Pic #4 is a fraction of what we cut off from his ears!
Elias was a little fearful when he initially came out of the shelter, but once he knew he was safe, he blossomed in record time. His foster roommate was a little frisky (neither were neutered coming from the shelter) but Elias responded like a gentleman. Didn’t like it, but wasn’t aggressive with him! He is a wonderful companion, and he would prefer having company as opposed to being an only dog or left alone. He does not have separation anxiety, but since he is good with children (over 5 yrs) and people and dogs…he shouldn’t have to be! Plus, Elias loves to give kisses and show you how much he appreciates your love! Starting to play/chase after toys…and he gets happier every day! Great in the car so he could go with you anywhere! So far, his potty training has been great — he loves to do his business up against a tree or whatever is nearby! But of course, we never guarantee at your house!
Elias would not be great for a senior home, as he is quite active and might be too much to handle. He loves his walks and meeting and greeting people…he came to us a mess and looks great now…could gain a few pounds and grow his hair back and you might have a designer dog!! We love him and so will you!
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!
