BRONCO

My story

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET BRONCO…. This handsome, 14 lb, tricolored, 2-3 year old Lhasa/Shih Tzu/Poodle is a wonderful combination of sweetness and opinions! Lhasa (mix) lover’s (maybe Havanese?) beware — he will steal your heart like he’s stolen mine! We are working with 4 Paws Kiddo Rescue to make sure he gets the ideal home. Bronco was dumped in the shelter after a bite incident in his former home. We are not certain how this happened, but we know that he doesn’t like being heavy handled. Since this incident, we have opted to take Bronco to training to desensitize any negative behavior. While we have not seen aggression here, as you can tell by the video, we believe he should go to a home without kids and a savvy family who have dealt with “opinionated” dogs. If you want a pup who is gonna play like a maniac with toys and even fetch … follow you everywhere and prove you’re a good cook at mealtime, Bronco is the pup for you! A foodie thru and thru!! He eats like it’s the first time he’s ever seen food and blink and it’s gone! He is a wildman on leash and will be getting training for this. He is quite protective and pulls and like a little boy and is easily distracted by buses and trucks on the street. He needs to learn how to be a gentleman on walks!! He is a character around larger dogs as he will stand on his hind legs, put his front paws around the other dogs neck and try to kiss or play…but he can get carried away!! If you scold him, he will give you side eye for a moment and wait to hear “ok, now good boy” and he’s over it. Bronco sits quietly while you work (or squeaking a toy to remind you he is there)…waiting for the next time to get all your attention! If you are not at home and you are in an apartment/condo, he will bark voraciously when anyone walks by. Once he has deemed you worthy, he will soar into bed with you, snuggle until you get up and look at you with those gorgeous eyes that tell you how he feels! Bronco could be an only dog if his people work from home and he isn’t alone much. Doesn’t have separation anxiety and his potty training skills are pretty good — but no promises at your house. He would be best in a home with a yard vs. apartment and he definitely needs to go hiking or running or some exercise to get all his energy out! All in all…Bronco is a stallion! We love him and will only let him go to the perfect, experienced home — for him and for you!! Interested? He’s the best. 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.
