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 PETEY….a sweet, but timid, 4-5 yr old, charcoal/white, ShiPoo boy who weighs in at a whopping 7.5 lbs and is looking to join the right family who will help him to feel safe and secure! We don’t know his back story, but Chula Vista Shelter contacted us and asked if we could take him. Because of his shyness, he was not showing well in the shelter, so we said “of course.” He is a bit fearful of new environments and people, so he needs someone who will be gentle. Once he’s comfortable (may only take a little while), he loves to snuggle up and rest his head and paw on you! He will never turn down a belly rub and will roll over on his back to solicit your attention! We have yet to hear Petey bark, even when he hears noises outside, so he won’t make any of your neighbors complain! Totally non aggressive, doesn’t bite — even when scared! He just want love and to be loved.
When Petey arrived, he wouldn’t walk on a leash. He is a smart boy, so he pretty much mastered this task in 48 hours (well, he’s still mastering!). He welcomes going outside and seeing the world and is getting better and better everyday. Like so many dogs, he is fearful of skateboarders and speeding cars, so sometimes needs a little “pick up” to let him know he’s safe. He’s only 7.5 lbs so he’s easy to scoop up. He has had accidents in his foster home, but he held it like a camel at our house. That being said, as long as he is taken out frequently and before bed, he should train easily. That’s why we never guarantee our kids are potty trained — a bonus is he doesn’t lift his leg!
Petey will thrive in a calm, chaos free household where the family has time to give him a lot of love and attention. He would love nothing more than to sit with you, cuddle and watch you work! He would do wonderfully with another calm dog who can show him the ropes and be his companion. Once comfy, he is a little shadow who will follow you everywhere. So, if you have a quiet home and a big heart, Petey might just be the perfect match for you! We love him and you will too!
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!
