Story
Meet Piper! Piper is a 4 year old Maltese mix weighing 15 pounds, and she is pure sweetness wrapped up in a fluffy package. This easy going girl absolutely adores attention and lives for a good snuggle. She’s happiest simply being by your side, whether that’s relaxing on the couch or following you from room to room. Piper gets along wonderfully with everyone she meets, dogs, cats, and of course, her favorite people. She has a calm, gentle nature and adjusts beautifully to her surroundings. Piper is both deaf and blind, but don’t let that fool you, nothing slows this girl down! She confidently navigates her world using her amazing sense of smell and touch. She even wears a halo to help her move around safely, and she’s completely comfortable with it. Piper doesn’t see herself as different, and neither should you, she’s just as joyful and loving as they come. Because of her special needs, Piper will require a compassionate and patient adopter who understands that she relies on consistency, touch, and reassurance. In return, she will give you unwavering loyalty and endless love. She would thrive in a variety of homes and is simply looking for a family to call her own. Come meet this sweet girl today, you just might find your perfect little shadow.

Story
Breed: Maltese Age: 10 yrs. Weight: 10 lbs. Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: unsure Good with kids: no Energy level: unsure Good with men/strangers: prefers female humans Hypoallergenic: yes Special home requirements or medical: quiet home with no kids or other dogs is best Additional info: Sweet Zipper has found his way back to DWB. He was missing fur, itchy, and had lots of knots. Then the poor boy had a neck injury. During the time of his vet visit we learned he has a heart murmur and the start of cataracts. He also just received a dental thanks to DWB. Zipper also will need regular allergy shots, medicated baths for his skin, and food free from additives. This sweet boy deserves to find his forever home. He is a dog that likes to do things on his terms. If he wants to cuddle, he will climb on you; if he wants to be left alone, he will go lay down away from you. On walks he likes to say hi to everyone, but they have to move slow and let him come to them. Zipper likes to be in the presence of other dogs but after about 20 minutes he has had enough and wants to go home to decompress. He is fully potty trained and lets you know when he needs to go out. He also lets you know when he is hungry or there is no more water in his bowl. Zipper loves short periods of play time playing fetch. He also does not mind being left in the crate when you are gone and in-fact enjoys it. Zipper likes a quiet home so no kids or other dogs. He also prefers female humans. His foster mom has also noticed he is not a fan of big trucks, bikes, or anything that’s really loud and moves fast especially when on his walks. This guy has been failed too many times. Give him a home, a real home, forever! You won't regret it!

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET ELMER…and his breed is definitely a mystery to us! This 7 lb, white/brown, 1 yr old precious baby was found near the recent Palmdale hoarding bust, where 16 dogs were confiscated. A good Samaritan picked him up, he had no ID, was intact, had a hernia, retained canines and was in awful condition. They quickly realized that this little guy had likely escaped from the property and was wandering off on his own. When you view his video, you can see how matted this poor baby was…not to mention the 50 foxtails we removed from his poor little body 🙁 He does have long hair and a “spotted cow belly” so we are thinking Maltese/Doxie/Shih Tzu? It will be a secret until his hair starts to grow back! Despite all that, Elmer is pretty well adjusted. When he came, he didn’t walk on a leash, never wore a collar, still has a little difficulty navigating stairs, but now he is walking and enjoying the world like a champ! He is very smart and has been doing his business outside, but also on a pp pad — and he never misses! That being said, we never guarantee at your house! He squats to pee and is rambunctious as a pup should be! He LOVES toys and rearranging the room, staging pillows and beds where he wants them! Elmer is also pretty quiet — but he just arrived so he’s still letting us know who he is! One thing we can tell you is Elmer LOVES other dogs and definitely should have one of his own! Because of his diminutive size, we would recommend small to medium and definitely a very gentle companion. Elmer is very affectionate and loves to hug you…gives sweet little kisses and lets you know how grateful he is to be out of the situation he was in. That being said, it hasn’t deterred him at all from being a special little man. Does he sound like a pup you’d like to make your best friend? Kids over 8 yr old welcome! 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!
