Tino
Male/neutered/shots current
16 lbs
App. 8 years old
Sweet
and mellow are good words to describe Tino.
On the small side for a Lhasa, Tino is a patient boy who gets along well
with the other dogs in his foster home.
He is very food motivated, and likes taking leisurely strolls that are
marked by frequent stops to sniff, gaze about and check out what’s going on
around him. Until
his fur grows out a bit (he came to us very matted and his coat was consequently
clipped very short), Tino is most comfortable in a sweater when he is outside.
He prefers to be on the bed and under the covers at night.
He enjoys toys or a tasty rawhide chew or hoof.
Tino has an odd bark (he may have been de-barked), and occasionally
exhibits the infamous Lhasa attitude.
Quiet and undemanding, Tino wants to be close to his person:
on the floor at foster mom’s feet or on the couch beside her.
He was very neglected prior to coming to us, and will need time in his
new forever home to develop trust.
Does your heart cry out for a laid-back, peaceful little pooch who will
provide warmth and companionship?
Tino may be your guy.
Tino has a fabulous new
Mommy, residing on Lopez Island, WA

Beau
Male/neutered/shots current
3-4 years old
13 lbs
Beau is a wonderful Lhasa. He would be happy to just lay down on your lap
all day if he could. He loves car rides, and is so well behaved, except if
in a parked car and someone walks by, then his "I am protecting mode kicks
in"
He is such a lover and very social in his foster home, allowing strangers to
hold him. He does very well with other dogs his own size. He is
doing well with going potty outside. He comes when called...he is a very
motivated lil fellow.
Whoever adopts this boy, will have one the nicest Lhasa boys ever.
As you can tell, the foster Mom adores him:-)

Tia
Female/spayed/shots current
5 years old
16 lbs
"Be devoted to me and I'll be your
best friend forever"
Tia is such a gorgeous girl. She LOVES walks, playing with her stuffy
toys, hanging by you when she can. She takes a couple of days to warm up,
but will warm up quickly to a woman, another day for a man. She had not
been socialized as well as she should have been. Once arriving here she
was overwhelmed with the other dogs, all similar breeds, but in a couple of days
she learned to adjust. She would prefer to be an only dog, or if someone
gives her time to adjust to a resident dog of similar breed.
She does not do well with children, as so many of these Lhasa..but she would
adore to have a Mommy or Daddy , to take her for long walks, play fetch with her
toys, and be the center of someone's world.
Tia has a wonderful new Mom, residing in Sandy Point, WA
(Adopted April 24/09)
Baron
Male/neutered/shots current
5-6 years
18 lbs
Baron is a very loving
loyal lhasa boy. He is slow to trust new people but once he trusts you he is
your friend for life. Bear LOVES going places: walks, car rides, shopping...he
loves it all. Some days it is hard to get out of the door without him (smile).
Baron has food
allergies that seem to be well controlled with good food and careful treats.
He gets very upset when he thinks he has done something wrong and seems to
think he is going to be hit. He can get snappy if he is confronted but
responds well to firm commands and verbal direction. Baron needs a lhasa
experienced home where he will become your loyal loving best friend.
Baron has a fabulous
new Dad and living with Tucker, residing in Coquitlam,
B.C. Canada
(Adopted May 22/09)
Max
Male/neutered/shots current
4 years old
14 lbs
Max is an awesome dog . He loves everyone, is easy going and calm around the
house. He loves to go for walks and to play with toys. Is a great cuddlier
and wonderful companion. He has not heard about the "lhasa-tude" that
most Lhasas have. He would be an absolutely wonderful store dog.
Max has only 2 requests in his search for a forever home. No cats-he chases them
relentlessly; and minimum of travel-Max gets very car sick. These 2 issues have
caused him to be passed around quite a bit in the last few years. Max is also on
a special diet due to his allergies; as long as he stays on this diet he has no
problems. He is extremely healthy and has received excellent medical care. He
comes with all of his medical records including allergy testing.
If you are a homebody looking for a companion for walks, gardening, TV watching
and general lounging around this wonderful boy is waiting to join you.
Max has a wonderful new Mom and Dad, who promised this is his last home,
happily residing in Seattle, WA
(Adopted July 1/09)
Tanner
Male/neutered/shots current
App. 3 years old
16 lbs
Tanner has never met anyone he doesn't like. He is very unusual for a Lhasa in
that he goes up to everyone he meets for pets. He sits or stands and waves his
paws for treats. He loves other similar size dogs and loves to play with other
dogs or with his people. Tanner loves to ride in the car and likes walks though
he is still learning not to pull on the lead.
Tanner was turned into the shelter, so badly matted, he was unable to walk, and
had obviously been on his own for a while. He was a bit feisty until the was
shaved down and got comfortable he then proceeded to become a staff favorite.
Because Lhasa's are not usually good with children, we are looking for an adult
home (teens over 16 OK) for Tanner but visiting grandchildren would be OK.
Tanner loves to run in the yard and to explore. He would be a great gardening
partner and a wonderful companion.
Tanner has a wonderful new Mom, a sister
Lhasa to hang with, residing in Poulsbo, WA
(Adopted Sept.6/09)
Grady
Tibetan Terrier/Lhasa Apso
Male/neutered/shots current
12 months old on 7/6/09
16 lbs 13" tall
Grady (the Dude) is a wonderful puppy. Grady loves car rides, playing with
toys and with doggie friends, running in the yard and cuddling on your
lap. Grady has been in 5 homes in his young life, as he was sold from home
to home on Craig's list. This is why this young boy, answers to both Grady
and Dude. In his last home, the dog of the house did not like Grady,
before that people were moving, and he was too active for an apartment.
In actuality we have never met a more sweet loving puppy. He is very good
with older teens and does well with both men and women. Grady loves other
dogs and would really like another dog to play with. He is housebroken and
is good walking on a leash. Grady has shown occasional leash aggression
to certain people; his foster Mom is still trying to figure how he chooses who
he doesn't like. He responds quickly to correction with this. He
also hates to have the door of his crate closed (though he loves sleeping in a
crate with the door open.)
Grady is a very smart boy who really wants to please. (An obedience training
class is an adoption requirement with this boy). He learns quickly and
just wants for his next home to be "forever." Are you the family
to fulfill that dream for this little Dude?
Grady has a new sister
Lhasa to romp with, and a great Dad, residing in Seattle, WA
(Adopted Sept.13/09)
Honey
Female/spayed/shots current
3 years old
13 lbs (very slim girl, could use a bit more weight)
Honey is such a perfect name for this little girl; she's every single bit as
sweet as her name. In spite of... (the
cruel abuse she endured for an unknown length of time before she was rescued
from it, she was starved and beaten, and seized by the police)
Honey is full of affection for every person she meets and every dog she greets.
She is absolutely and purely adorable and has been getting loves from everybody.
(And such eyelashes! )
Honey is really well-behaved: she's very quiet and seldom barks, but she
does break out with her joyful doggy dancing bark-songs when she welcomes home
her foster family. She waits for permission to come up on the furniture or
hop on the bed for a little bedtime book-read and cuddle, which she loves.
She's house-trained and is doing well being left at home with a buddy during the
day; unknown so far about being alone. She does stay close with her foster
family, although she's gaining a little more confidence every day in her new
situation. Also unknown about cats and small children, although bigger
kids are fine. She doesn't have any food aggression issues and leaves her bowl
when she's full.
She loves to go for walks on her leash and rambles around the yard with her new
doggy friends: she loves to meet and greet all who cross her path. She's
quiet and well-behaved in the car but a little scared, maybe because all of her
recent car trips have been ending up in one strange place after another!
She may just need a spot of patience and some great car ride memories with her
new family to make that all go away.
Honey hasn't broken loose and played games with her buddies or the toys so far,
although she clearly has a spirit of fun. Too early to know if she simply isn't
inclined or she needs to feel more comfortable before she let's herself get
crazy. It may be that Honey should have a little celebration with her new
family on the first day that she MISbehaves.
What is certain is that Honey truly deserves to spend the rest of her life
with a forever family who cherishes her; She's just the loveliest little girl
you'll ever find.
Honey has fabulous new
parents, who will cherish her, residing in Bellingham, WA

Molson
Male/neutered/shots current
18 lbs
App. 6-7 years old
*with the greatest of loss and sorrow,
Molson lost his life in an accident on May 7/2011 he was one of my dearest
fosters, and this broke my heart..run with the angels my darling*
OK
- everyone, here's the treasure of the season - Molson! He's a lap
sitter and could be called Shadow because he quietly follows you around the
house. If you need some "private time" in a room, he'll wait outside
the door guarding the entry, doing his job to keep his "forever
human" safe. This boy will no doubt be a loving and constant companion to
his forever person.
He
takes correction well and his house manners are better than a lot of humans.
He loves to walk and we have found him to be playful with other doggies.
If you are entertaining friends, you could make some side bets by betting that
your dog (Molson) is so smart that you can just point your finger at Molson
and say "Bang" and he'll fall over as if he just died. All you have
to do before you collect the money from winning the bets is give Molson a nice
tummy rub as a reward. He loves those tummy rubs!
One
thing about Molson that is especially nice is he could be adopted into a home
with no dogs or with other dogs. He is able to fall into the pack just about
anywhere without any fuss. That's a great trait in a dog .He could be equally
happy as an only dog and have your undivided attention.
Just
about every dog will develop some health issues in their lifetime if an owner
is really aware of their dog's physical condition. Molson has two easy to care
for health issues. One is the thyroid. The meds are very inexpensive and
easy to administer. The second is dry eye. Just as humans age and get dry eye,
dogs can develop dry eye for various reasons. Again, this is an easy
condition to deal with.
Oh,
one last thing - If you're concerned about Molson's age of 6-7 years being too
old, please consider this. He's past the puppy stage of chewing up socks,
needing to be housebroken, and some of the puppy activities that make us
humans realize how old we're getting after dealing with a puppy. But Molson
still has that calmer adult dog energy to keep up with just about anyone for
many years to come. Molson is the kind of dog that once he's yours, you'll be
so grateful that you didn't pass over him because he was just a little bit
older.
Molson has a super new
Dad, residing in Everett, WA

Robin (Robbie)
Male/neutered/shots current
18 months old
18 lbs
This little guy is a year and a half old and the perfect example of a goofy
teenage Lhasa-boy! Robin is a personable, stocky little klutz who
invariably trips on the stairs, falls off the couch, thinks that "Dog
Whisperer" Dvd's mean that there are invisible dogs hiding from him in the
closet, and waits patiently to go in and out on the hinge side of the door.
Just when you might start to be worried that this poor little boy suffered an
unfortunate birth-event, he's begun to out-play the reigning canine queen of the
psychological thriller "Stalk & Steal all your Toys" game.
(This game can last as long as Monopoly and requires both strategy and cunning).
When Robin gets all grown up, he just might be downright smart! Meanwhile,
his forever family is missing a truly funny and memorable time of his life.
Robin was abandoned at the Humane Society by his previous owners with no
training or social skills, but this little boy has come a long way in rescue and
is now in good shape to complete doggy "finishing school" with his new
family. They should all attend a dog training class and get lots of
practice with a firm manner, but that's a great way to spend bonding time
together. Robby adores trucking along on a good walk, heels (... after a
bit of exuberant puppy-joy), loves car rides and crates well. He's pee-pad
trained and still gets regular trips outside to finish off his house-training.
He loves to play and cuddle, but settles down well when left. What little
Robby really longs for is somebody to be his very own person to love! No
small children, needs a fence or leash, and although he gets along with his
foster brother and sister, would probably be happiest as an only dog. If
you don't mind helping this little guy complete his training regime, you will be
rewarded by years and years of Lhasa-love, laughter and interesting company!
Robin has a wonderful home, now residing in Des Moines, WA
(Adopted March 18/10)
Theodore (Teddy)
Male/neutered/shots current
5 years old
29 "chubby" lbs
I am Teddy, the psychic
dog and right now I am reading your mind. You want a dog that isn't clinging,
and doesn't require constant petting or holding. THAT'S ME! You want a
dog that will follow you around and enjoy just being in the same room with
you, quietly watching or sleeping nearby you as go about what you're doing.
THAT'S ME AGAIN! I can also read in your mind that you want a dog that is
excited about going for walks and THAT'S ME AGAIN and boy, oh boy, do I need
to go for walks and trim down a pound or two or three. Wow, you just thought
about how great it would be if I loved going for rides and really behaved well
in the car. GOLLY, can you believe it? THAT'S ME AGAIN!
Now if you want to try
reading MY mind you'll be correct if you get the message that I am a gem of a
dog and very easy going. You should also get the message that I can be shy
around men because of some probable abuse in my past but I am capable of
conquering that as long as you understand it and help me. You should also
learn that I like people (even with the man shyness issue) and I like other
dogs. You won't find anything in my mind about cats though because I've never
dealt with them so I don't have any thoughts to read on that subject.
I see in my future a
REAL FOREVER HOME with a person who truly understands the word FOREVER. I
see in my future.......YOU!!!! By the way, Furbaby Rescue can't read
minds too well, so you'll need to e-mail them for an application to adopt
Teddy, the psychic dog.
Teddy has a great new
Dad, residing in Sumas, WA

Clayton
Male/neutered/shots current
App. 3 years old
16 lbs
Clayton is a beautiful boy who loves going for walks, meeting new people, and
car rides. He runs through the yard with the biggest grin you have ever seen on
his face. He loves to play with other dogs and runs up begging for pets not only
from people he knows but from those he has just met. He loves curling up in a
soft bed near his person and sleeps in that bed peacefully all night. He is good
for grooming and loves his bathes.
This beautiful young dog came to us from a shelter in Oregon where he was found
wandering with no tags. He was very grumpy and snappy but seemed like a very
young dog so Furbaby Rescue was asked to take him in. Soon after coming into
rescue, Clayton's grumpiness was explained when he was found to have
multiple bladder stones. After recovering from this surgery (and his neuter and
hernia repair) we finally began to see the Lhasa boy himself.
Clayton has all of the
intelligence, joy, loyalty and determination that makes us love Lhasa's. He
also has some Lhasa-tude". We're looking for a home that hopefully has
some Lhasa experience and a person who can help Clayton continue to improve on
some bad habits he acquired through no fault of his own. He's already
graduated to an all new level of doggie manners from what he was but he still
needs a persistent, understanding human to refine his skills into being a
gentleman with his chews, bones, and food bowl. Once Clayton has the patient,
loving, knowledgeable owner he deserves, he should progress nicely to
his next level of very good behavior and earn his "Gentleman
Clayton" title. Clayton is very active and to have another dog of a
similar breed could help refine Clayton into the best he can be. Clayton will
need an adult only home in order to keep progressing.
Clayton
badly wants to belong and is so smart, training is a joy. If you have the
experience, patience and love to work with him you with will find yourself with
a true heart dog.
Clayton has two wonderful Dads, residing in Puyallup, WA
