PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION

MEET JORGIE….a 1.5 yr old, blonde liver (with light eyes), 10.5 lbs, purebred Shih Tzu, who is a total sweetheart. Unfortunately, his mother found out she is going to be a first-time grandmother and her daughter needs her in a different state. She has made the difficult decision to rehome Jorgie, which is the best for all concerned.

Jorgie is a lover who is happiest when he is cuddling and close to his humans, unlike some puppies who are crazy hyper! Don’t get us wrong — he is very energetic and curious — and he loves playing with toys, fetching and going for walks daily, just like most puppies do!

While we never guarantee, Jordie’s mom reports he is crate and potty trained, and he’ll bark, jump on your lap, or gently paw at you when he needs to go outside. He absolutely loves going his walks and greeting new people, fellow dogs and anyone who wants to say hello. He is a very social fella!!

Jorgie would do best in a home with another dog(s) to play with. He came from a litter of 5 and is used to the commotion. He was raised with a senior dog and 2 cats for the first year of his life and did just fine with them. While he hasn’t spent time with children, he’s very sweet and affectionate, and we believe he would do great; probably not ideal for a mature/senior home. He is very gentle and generally doesn’t bark unless someone comes to the door or is playing with other dogs. With love and stability, this affectionate boy will make a wonderful companion and playmate for your whole family.

If you’re looking for a playful, loyal, cuddly friend who just wants to be loved, Jorgie might be your perfect match! Jorgie will not be available until 1/11/26. He will not be attending our 12/28/25 adoption event.

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!
