PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION FRANNIE HAS FALLEN FOR PIRATE AND WANTS TO BE HIS FOREVER SISTER… THEY ARE A BONDED PAIR MEET MS. FRANNIE….and this petite, sweet little b/w, 9.7 lbs, 5 yr old, Shih Tzu munchkin is perfection! She is pint size but she has enough love to give an army! She was dumped in the North Central Shelter with four puppies! They were adorable but they looked nothing like her! Other rescues opted for the puppies, we took Mama. So glad we did! Frannie is super affectionate and loving and wants to be right with you. When you pick her up, she clings to you like she is hanging on for dear life. She has hidden energy and lets you see it once she is out and playing! When she plays, believe it or not she plays hard!! Yet, she will climb up to kiss a baby and is gentle as she can be. She is wonderful on a walk, usually does her business after a little while of exploring and is happy to greet strangers on the street! She is friendly with everyone…AND she has fallen for her foster roommate, Pirate!! Frannie and Pirate love for you to throw toys and Frannie will dance around but doesn’t know what to do with them! She’s also great eater and is very playful — but can also be shy at first and hide under the couch! When she hears “let’s go for a walk….” she is ready! Now that she has Pirate as her buddy, she doesn’t hide anymore! Frannie could go into almost any home but we have learned she would prefer a home where she can cuddle with another small dog AND she wants that dog to be PIRATE. She would be good with kids over 8 yrs old — maybe a little girl wants to dress her up! They are really so special and they are looking for a family and hopefully a yard to play with Pirate! Do Frannie and Pirate sound like they could be your next children? 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.

Story
❗Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ Meet Haengsoon! Your Future Best Friend Haengsoon is an incredibly adaptable dog who quickly made herself at home in her foster environment. She’s the kind of dog who can just lay back and relax without a fuss. Haengsoon adores people and is full of affection, often following her human around like a little shadow. While she’s not a fan of other dogs, she’s been well-trained with basic commands like sit, stay, lie down, come, no, and paw. She’s already accustomed to wearing a harness and enjoys grooming sessions, including brushing. Haengsoon has no interest in trash or human food, so you won't have to worry about her getting into mischief. Though she does shed a bit, her potty training is flawless—she knows how to use both the bathroom and pee pads perfectly. Haengsoon absolutely loves her walks and is always excited to go outside. She’s also a quiet companion who doesn’t bark when the doorbell rings or when people come inside. However, she may occasionally bark briefly if she hears sudden noises outside the door. Haengsoon isn’t a fan of having her nails trimmed, but she doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety, making her an easy-going and independent dog.

Story
Meet Lara💗 Lara is a super calm small girly. She loves humans and gets along well with children, but is not really interested in dog friends. She’s super cuddly and calm, so the house size wouldn’t matter much. She loves going for a short walk and is trained for housebreaking, so it is essential for you to take her for a walk at least two times a day. She’s also indifferent to dogs or humans she meet outside, but wants to lead the walk herself. She sheds a bit - not a lot; mediate level, and is also really good at grooming, so it wouldn’t be a big worry. However, she doesn’t really prefer long car trips – she doesn’t eat in cars and is a bit afraid of being in them at the first time. She is not kennel trained, but does sleep in her own bed. She also loves to cuddle on human bed and sofa! Allergy/health issues: No allergy or health issues yet found. *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile! Our team will carefully consider each of your applications to find the perfect forever homes for our dogs. *As all of our dogs are currently in South Korea, there will be an adoption fee of 700USD + customs fee (if applicable) for each dog.
