My story

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

***ADOPTION PENDING***

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

MEET NORTON…and no, he doesn’t have a virus but he came to us with horrible kennel cough! This handsome, 3-4 yr old, 17 lb, tri-color liver (with a coat that shimmers in the sun) Lhasa Apso Mix was terrified at the shelter. He seemed to be a bit cage aggressive, so we weren’t sure about his personality. Once out of the crate emerged Mr. Lhasa Loverboy! He was groomed like a schnauzer, but his long body and almond eyes gave him away! We don’t know what he is mixed with, but it’s sweet as sugar and everything nice! All he really wants to do is give you lots of kisses, snuggle up to you and fetch toys! AND he actually brings them back!

Initially, Norton can be a bit reluctant or wary of what is around him. After all, he’s got Lhasa in him and is there to protect you! He can pull on the leash to get you to come with him to visit a dog on a walk to its owner on the street…and as soon as he gets close, after checking him/her out, he will give them kisses! Yes, he is very friendly with other dogs, people and everyone around. He is quite active and could knock a small child down, but never aggressively. He’s a lover, not a hater! Kids over 8 yrs old are welcomed.

The ideal home for Norton would be one where he gets a lot of attention. We don’t know his past, but we can imagine that he didn’t get the amount of love and attention he deserved. He would be great with older kids, a family who will take him with them when they attend sports events for the kids…not to mention a Sunday at the park or for brunch. He’s all in! Potty training is going well but no guarantees at your house!

So, if you are looking for a social boy who just wants to be part of the family…Norton is your guy! Are you his family?

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.
