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

MEET ZEKE….a very handsome, tan/black, 4 yr old, 16.5 lb Lhasa Apso mix, who is as loving as they come. When he arrived, matted to the bone, it was clear he’d never worn a collar, never walked on a leash and was very insecure. Only here a short time, we discovered he’s very smart and wants to please! This gentleman is the kind of pup who bonds to his people quickly and hard! He absolutely lights up when you walk through the door and will greet you with pure joy literally jumping up and down with glee! He has a happy spirit and loves to have fun — whether it’s playing with his toys, fetching a ball (and actually bringing it back) or “running” on leash during your walk, he’s always up for keeping the action going! Zeke thrives outdoors and would be happiest in a home where there is a yard where he can get plenty of exercise and fresh air. He is a testament to how far a rescue dog can come in a short period of time with direction, love and affection….but patience is also a virtue!

Zeke is wonderful with other dogs, great with kids and friendly with adults — an all-around easy companion. He will jump up on you when he is excited and gives you lots and lots of kisses to let you know you have made his day! And when the energy winds down, Zeke is a true lap dog. He adores belly rubs, staying close and soaking up all the affection he can get. If he can find the space, he will jump up on your bed/couch/chair and lean into you or on top of you to let you know he’s there! He does have a few bad habits we are breaking him of….he loves garbage, so keep it out of the way! While he will love going everywhere with you — including restaurant outings, sports events with the kids, and just a Sunday at the beach….initially he does get a little nervous in the car. With patience and reassurance, he continues to build confidence and loves the ride.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, playful companion who will be just as happy running by your side as he is curled up in your lap, Zeke might just be your perfect match.

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!
