PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
MEET MISS ELSIE…and she is definitely a charmer. But this little 4 yr old, 10 lb, gold/black, Silky Terrier X has been through hell! She came to us from the Riverside Shelter with a busted up pelvis — right/left/middle! They asked us to take her and we’re glad we did. We took her to surgery immediately, where she had two plates implanted to keep her pelvis together — $8500+ all done! Her pelvis was miraculously and incredibly repaired by a wonderful surgeon and she was bearing weight two weeks later! While she is still healing, Elsie is ready to get up and go!!
This angel has a super chill personality and just wants to be loved. She is anxious to play with some of the canine kids at her foster home — snuggles with one, wants to play with another and ignores the rest! Her foster mom describes her as a “perfect” dog — submissive, doesn’t complain about anything….she even does her business on command! No guarantees at your house!! We believe when she is fully recovered she will be pretty active, since it is already difficult to keep her quiet. What she is longing to do is chase birds and do the zoomies, but not quite yet!
Elsie doesn’t have separation anxiety but she really wants to be around people and dog friends — so the ideal home would be one with both!! She will follow you around the house, from room to room. If she is confined downstairs and her people are upstairs, she’ll bark or whine to let you know she wants attention! She will sometimes bark if the others bark ( i.e. mailman, UPS), but she doesn’t bark at people or at every little thing. She will be a great traveler, as she is sweet and petite. People are always commenting on how cute she is!
Do you have the perfect home for this little Superstar? Another young, small, playful pup; kids over 8 yrs old would be OK, parents who are around to spoil her? She will be available beginning of July! We are accepting applications now.
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!
Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events!
