MEET HUGO….a petite, sweet, 7 lb, 6-7 yr old, apricot colored Toy Poodle, who hailed from the Moreno Valley Shelter. How he ended up there is anyone’s guess, but he was a total mess when he came to us. His poor behind was matted with feces and he was in horrible pain. Once groomed, he bounced out of his shell and saw a whole new world in front of him that he is still getting to know.

Shortly after Hugo arrived at LHH he came down with an awful upper respiratory infection — coughing and generally feeling lousy. Poor thing is so small, it really knocked him out and he has been sleeping a lot. But…when he wants attention or to cuddle, he will let you know! He noses you with his muzzle and says “okay, it’s time for a belly rub” or “I want your attention now.” He can be very independent but as he starts feeling better, he engages more. He LOVES his walks and meeting new dogs and people — which we have had to curtail while he has been under the weather. However, Hugo still walks at a quick pace and is curious about the world around him!! Other than having a cold, he is very healthy and we are watching him blossom more and more daily!

The ideal home for Hugo will be one where he gets attention and engagement but also has his independence. He is tiny and can go with you everywhere — he’s good in the car and wherever you take him. He would be happy in an active, senior home, as long as he gets his walks!! We are still getting to know him but know that he will make someone’s home a happy one!

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!
