PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET JASPER…..a precocious little 9 lb, 3 yr old, tan/white, ShihPoo — as far as we can tell! The shelter shaved him before we picked him up, so we’re not 100% sure. What we are sure of is he is an absolute doll! Are you looking for a playful little imp who will kiss you ’till the cows come home and snuggle with you at will? Are you looking for a little guy who is like a boomerang when you throw him a toy, who will fetch it back to you every time? Are you looking for a guy who wants to go with you everywhere because he doesn’t like being left behind…who would love to be part of a family with kids over 8 yrs old — watch sporting events with you — tag along at brunch and let you know how much he loves you? Jasper is that pup! Not 100% potty trained, but getting better. Does his business outside, sometimes on a pp pad and sometimes misses…but Jasper is very smart and wants to please. He is VERY playful and would love a companion dog, but is also very human oriented if you don’t plan to leave him alone much. He is pocket size and will fit under the seat in an airplane…or sit next to you if possible! Jasper is a fantastic buddy and is a cutie patootie who will give you lots of laughs and pure enjoyment — just needs a little patience and attention to make him happy. Does that sound like your home? He is definitely a winner!! 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.

Mixed / Unknown breed

This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.

🧠 Temperament

Does his business outside, sometimes on a pp pad and sometimes misses…but Jasper is very smart and wants to please. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.

🎾 Exercise

Are you looking for a little guy who is like a boomerang when you throw him a toy, who will fetch it back to you every time?. Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.

✂️ Grooming

Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

He is VERY playful and would love a companion dog, but is also very human oriented if you don’t plan to leave him alone much. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
