My story

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET OBIE…formerly Tobey in his previous home. This precious little 8.5 lb (underweight), 4-5 yr old, tan/white with black tips, Shih Tzu is a sweetheart. He was surrendered because his original parents moved internationally and the niece they gave him to (who had never had a dog) is also leaving the U.S. So, that left Obie homeless 🙁 Obie could not be sweeter if he tried, but he was a little confused why he was here 🙁 This little man looks like a puppy, but his teeth were a mess so we got him a dental while he was being neutered. We believe he is between 4-5 yrs. Vet thought younger!! He was soooooo skinny when he arrived and could still gain a pound or two or three! He has good energy. great appetite, loves to give kisses, enjoys playing with toys and would love a companion to hang out with. Obie does have a slight case of separation anxiety, but he does eventually settle down. He really needs a wing person to be his best self. That ‘winger’ could be a dog or a cat, as he loves both….but he would honestly love one or the other, and you!! While we never guarantee any of our pups are potty trained, Obie is getting the idea and with a few walks a day should do you proud! He will use a pp pad if one is available. And….he is a great eater! Obie is great on walks and he loves meeting people, dogs and children while strolling! However, he can be a little fearful when encountering a stroller or stranger (same in the home). He settles down pretty quickly. He is very kind and would be great with gentle kids over 8 yrs old. He doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body…unless you are giving another dog more attention than him, and then he just wants everyone to play together! The ideal home will have another dog, a work from home family and a yard so he can be his best self. Does that sound like your home?? 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! Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events! See our home page for more details about our adoptions at Lhasa Happy Homes Thanks for thinking rescue and adoption and for considering saving a life. It will be the best gift you ever give yourself or your family.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt OBIE, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
