MEET DANDELION….”Dandi” to his friends. This precious baby, who was born on 5/27/2024, is a white, presently 5 months old and 7-8 lbs, purebred Shih Tzu. His human mom is beside herself because she doesn’t feel her home is the right fit for Dandi. She has two cats, and even though Dandi wants to play with them, they are not having it. Since Dandi is only a puppy…she feels he needs the right environment and lifestyle to set him up for success and one that he will thrive in, and so she is counting on us to find that home for him. That being said…..
Dandi is very, very friendly; loves other dogs, people, kids, cats, even leaves flying in the wind! As all puppies are, he is curious and ready to experience the world! People have often complimented him on his confidence and bravery as he loves BIG dogs! Zero aggression, just assumes everyone is his friend and doesn’t pick up on a hiss or a growl! Gives kisses, loves to play with toys, steals socks (will make you a better housekeeper!). His lack of focus is difficult for his first time pet owner family.
The ideal home for Dandi would be one with another active, confident dog — big or little — who can show him the ropes as he learns how to be a good playmate. Gentle kids and a backyard to give him a place to exercise and blow off some of his puppy energy would be perfect! Regardless, he definitely needs attentive owners ready to commit to basic training to help him become the wonderful puppy we know he is.
AND believe it or not…Dandi knows commands like sit, lay down, come, wait, leave it, cross (the street) and “be free” released to exit his crate! My dogs don’t even know all those commands! He’s working on potty training and doing really well. He is crate trained.
At the end of the day, Dandi needs a home that will nurture and bring out the best in him. Training is essential, as few puppies come with a manual — that manual is YOU! If you have the right tools and temperament and you are looking for a wonderful puppy…look no more. Dandi is waiting.
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!

How do I start the adoption process to adopt from Lhasa Happy Homes Rescue?
1. COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.LHASAHAPPYHOMES.ORG
If you are interested in any of the pups at Lhasa Happy Homes, the first step is to complete the application. Until we know a little about you and what you are looking for, it is impossible for us to tell if a dog is right for you and your family.
2. APPLICATION WILL BE REVIEWED
Once your application has been reviewed and hopefully approved, we will contact you (either by phone or by email) to discuss this adoption further and to set up a time to meet the animal of your choice. You might find us a bit "invasive" with the questions you are asked…that's why they often call us the "Benevolent Lhasa Nazis." Our only objective is to make the perfect match, and we truly go that extra mile in search of exceptional homes for our little furry friends. Each has their own unique personality and characteristics. Their lives have been interrupted for one reason or another, and it's our job to make certain wherever they go next is the last time they will have to move! We endeavor to match the pup with what you are looking for so that they are yours forever more! We do not adopt to families with children under 5 yrs old; generally not under 8 yrs old and we rarely adopt out of state.
3. HOME CHECK WILL BE ARRANGED
The goal here is to make sure the home is secure and that the dog is not likely to get out and lost again! This will either be arranged prior to or after you have met the dog you are interested in. We may, at our discretion, accept photos of your home in lieu of a home visit.
4. REVIEW AND SIGN AGREEMENT
Pay a donation (adoption donation starts at $200-400). The donation includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, grooming, vet check, deworming, defleaing, leash/collar/ID tag and microchip. Then take home your new child!
We would be honored to help you find
your new family member.

More about this rescue
Lhasa Happy Homes is a private rescue and foster care organization, created for the safe haven and permanent placement of homeless pups, primarily Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Pomeranians and other small mixed breeds. Each of the dogs who come to Lhasa Happy Homes is cared for in a home-like environment, with an abundance of love, attention and special care. These dogs have been through a lot...and it is our objective to make them feel secure, safe and protected... so that when they are placed in their forever homes, they will stay there!
We are NOT a shelter. We rescue from the Los Angeles city and county shelters, and Orange County shelter. We accept Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu, Maltese and Pomeranian owner turn-ins who are need of re-homing for whatever reason (to save them from even a temporary stay at a shelter).
We advocate the spaying and neutering of all animals -- no pup will be adopted from this organization before he/she has been altered. We also treat these pups as if they were our own, providing them with care, attention, a loving environment and rehabilitation, when necessary, to prepare them for their forever homes.
We are a non-profit, 501c3 organization. The adoption fee for each pup goes towards subsidizing the expenses involved in preparing the pups for adoption. This includes altering, grooming, de-worming, flea treatment, medical attention, prescriptions, vaccinations and home delivery. Transport, where/when applicable, is not included.
Our utmost goal is to adopt to humans who will provide the perfect "forever" home for these little furbabies -- wonderful animals who deserve a second chance at a great life.
