Meet Peter! Peter is a small, white Mini Schnauzer mix with a lot of personality packed into his little frame. Rescued from the shelter just in time, Peter has been given a second chance at life, and now we’re looking for his perfect forever home. Peter’s ideal adopter is an experienced dog owner who understands that some dogs need a little extra care and patience. Peter has shown some bite tendencies, and while we’re working with a trainer to understand his triggers, it’s important to be mindful of his boundaries. He doesn’t like being picked up and prefers not to be pet unless he comes to you first. When he feels safe and comfortable, Peter can be snuggly and affectionate—but it’s always on his terms. He is good with other dogs, so a canine companion could be a great fit for him. However, because of his biting history, Peter should not be in a home with children. Peter isn’t just a dog—he’s a work in progress who needs someone willing to invest time, patience, and love into helping him thrive. In the right home, Peter’s personality will shine, and he’ll reward you with loyalty and companionship. If you’re the experienced, patient adopter Peter needs, please fill out an application on our website. Peter is waiting for someone to see the good dog he truly is and help him live his best life.

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION INTRODUCING MR. FINLEY….. This 4-5 year old, 18 lb dapper dude is a mix of a few breeds – possibly Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Schnauzer, and Poodle (his mother was probably a hussy)! Whatever he is, it’s 100% adorable. We don’t know about Finley’s past, but it’s clear he hasn’t had an easy time. Initially, he was a bit skittish and shy, he would hide and we had to “nudge” him to out — but his new foster dad said…no more! He has officially transformed into a sweet and affectionate companion. They have told us that he has really settled in and is getting along famously with the other dogs, people on the street, kids, he loves to greet people and let them know he’d like to get to know them!! Finley would do best in a reassuring environment, hopefully with a yard and maybe another playful, happy dog, maybe even a little bigger than he is. Training will help him bond and adjust, especially in the potty department, where he is doing very well. He is very smart and now that his fear has subsided, we’re sure he will be an easy train. He’s great with other dogs and kids over 8 yrs, and when he feels safe and loved, he’ll be a loyal and loving companion. The key element to success with Finley will be attention and love. He is not a barker and will be a wonderful companion when he is comfortable and realizes he is safe and adored. If you’re looking for a furry friend who just needs a little extra TLC, Finley could be the perfect match for you! Are you ready to open your heart and home to this sweet boy? 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.

Alma is a very handsome and dignified pup. She is calm, intelligent and easy-going. We think Alma is a purebred mini Schnauzer, about 7 years old, who weighs just under 20 pounds. Alma enjoys going on a walks, car rides, or just hanging out with her person. Alma is house trained, a nice mix of friendly and affectionate, but also independent and happy to just nap in her dog bed. She rarely barks. We think she could live happily in a family with children or as an only dog. Alma is friendly with all kinds of people and also with other dogs. She is indifferent to cats. Alma is fully vetted, healthy, vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and ready for her forever home. She will make some lucky person or family very happy!

❗ Current Location: South Korea❗ • Personality: She's sociable and energetic. She adapts to new places right away and loves to reach out to new people and friends she meets. She knows how to say hello to familiar people and friends. She loves to play with other dogs and loves to play with people. She picks up on new training quickly, so we think she would make a great dog for a family with a good understanding and training knowledge of dogs. She's a bit of a sneaky prankster right now, so she can get into trouble, but she's affectionate, gentle, and full of energy. • Affinity with: -Cats: She currently lives with cats in a temporary foster home. She is not aggressive with cats but is very interested in them, so if you have a cat that likes dogs, she would be fine. -Dogs: She is currently living with the dogs in her foster home without any issues. They play well with each other, are socialized, and warm up quickly to new dogs they meet. -Adults/Kids: She is very fond of people and loves to be petted. She warms up quickly to people she meets for the first time. • Shedding: Moderate. There is shedding in certain periods. Her fur is best brushed daily with a silicone brush. • Walking Manner: She loves to go for walks, both familiar and new, and prefers to take fast, wide, territorial walks (rather than slow, sniffing the trails). He also loves to run in the park, but will sometimes try to run outside if there is no fence. She is fast and has a lot of energy, so she loves to run around in large parks and meet people and dogs. She also loves to go for walks in the mountains, but she has a hunting instinct and is interested in small snakes, rodents, and birds. • Housetrained: She goes potty on pee pads and highly prefers to go outside. She can chew on wood or plastic furniture and grab small items fallen on the floor and play with them. She's very playful and will run around with you if you have a like-minded friend in the house. • Separation Anxiety: She's always been around other dogs, so we can't confirm, but we think she'll be fine on her own. • Bark or Howl: She barks briefly when she hears strangers outside. There is no howl • Carsickness: She had drooling at first, but now she rides well.

Meet Heidi, a sweet 21 lb. Mini Schnauzer who's looking for her forever home. She's super chill, loves hanging out with her humans, and gets along great with other calm dogs. Heidi is the momma of the pack at heart, always ready for cuddles or a nap on the couch or her dog bed. She is crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night, but if you want her beside you in bed, she'll be more than happy with that too! She is leash-trained and enjoys short walks and is also potty-trained. She will wait by the door and speak until you let her out. Heidi's an affectionate girl who would be a great fit for anyone looking for a sassy but loving companion. You'll always have someone to talk to with her as she is a good listener and sometimes talks back too! lol. She lights up the room with her excitement and I know would be great in any home where she is spoiled. She was a former breeding dog, and her coat was in rough condition because of a poor diet and lack of proper nutrition. Her puppies took a lot of nutrients from her during pregnancy, but unfortunately, her breeder didn’t provide the care she needed to recover. As a result, she developed a bacterial skin infection and inflammation, which required two shots. Thankfully, she has been improving well, with noticeable progress in her hair growth and skin health. Heidi has been up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and was spayed. During her spay she also had a dental procedure, ears examined. She has been cleared by our vet to find her forever home. Her adoption fee is $2,500. It covers her spay (she was in heat at time of spay), microchip (lifetime registration), vaccinations, dental procedure, and extra anesthesia/iv fluid time. The extra care and training we have personally done since the time she has been with us until she finds her forever home. We have a transport leaving for NorCal/Oregon on April 25, 2025, and would love to include her for the right home. We're located in Hesperia, CA. but can arrange transportation anywhere in the U.S. if needed so long as the adopter covers the cost. Email us today and share details about yourself, the loving home you can provide, and your experience with the breed. We will be in contact shortly. Thank you!
