PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
MEET COLBY…and Mr. Colby has had a rough start in life. This 12.5 lb, 3 yr old, silver/gold/black Shih Tzu/Yorkie was given to a family as a newborn after an “accident” happened with a friend’s dog. After a couple of years, they didn’t want him anymore…no reason given. Then given to another friend, her husband didn’t like him so after 9 months (in which time they never neutered, groomed or bathed him once) they gave him to LHH to rehome.
When he first arrived, Colby had almost no personality. We got him neutered, groomed and gave him lots of love and the light came back into his eyes. He seeks out love and attention now and cries when you leave him behind. He settles down, but we believe he would be happiest in a home where he is not left alone — would be great with another small dog who he can play with and help him feel secure. Colby is very gentle, so he would likely be great with kids over 5 yrs old. He is very smart, listens and stays when you tell him to stay. Walks well on a leash and loves to meet other dogs in the neighborhood. He will likely need a little help with his potty training, but he is doing fantastic here!
The ideal home will have another small dog, maybe a couple of kids and a family who will love his to life! Does that sound like you? If you don’t have another dog, but you are home and/or will take him with you…what he needs most is love.
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

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!
