NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

NEW INTAKE 4/9/2026: Tonga - male - approx 12 years old - 9.2 pounds - Lhasa Apso

Reason for intake: Tonga came to us from animal control. The first thing we did was send him to our groomer, Wendy, and now he looks totally different than this picture! He's heading to our vet the week of April 13th for everything else he needs. What a sweetheart! Stay tuned!

NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS: Many dogs, particularly breeder, hoarder or senior dogs, can have multiple medical issues that need addressed. Additionally, sometimes we take in young puppies requiring multiple vaccinations and/or quarantining. In this particular case, we are not yet taking applications either due to age or possible illness or some other reason. We will post when s(he) is ready for adoption. In the interest of fairness, EARLY application submissions will NOT be considered. Please note... we cannot respond to messages/emails, etc., on dogs that are NOT yet available for adoption. Please wait until the dog is available for adoption. We will post him or her on Facebook in our Adoptable Dog Album pinned to the top of our page which you can follow at this link: https://www.facebook.com/share/1B46skRWF5/ OR you can keep checking our website at www.roadtorescuela.org. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Be responsible ~ Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life. Blessings.

The Lhasa Apso is a small and fearless dog breed originating from Tibet, known for its long and flowing double coat that requires regular grooming. These alert and loyal companions possess a distinctive demeanor and make excellent watchdogs. They are independent yet affectionate, enjoying their human family's company while also being wary of strangers. With a history rooted in Buddhist monasteries, the Lhasa Apso is a sturdy and ancient breed cherished for its adaptability and unique personality.
