Lhasa Apso Dogs Available for Adoption in Bothell, Washington

Animal Information: Manny is a 3 year old, 20 pound Lhasa Apso mix who arrived at Stanislaus Animal Shelter as a stray. Staff described him as friendly with people and good with other dogs. This adorable little guy is easy to handle, social, and enjoys human attention. Manny can be a bit forward when meeting other dogs, and while some dogs may not appreciate his enthusiasm, he has shown no aggression. He is a sweet and charming companion looking for a loving home.

Foster Profile:
This scruffy little guy is nothing but fun! Manny will match your energy whether you’re out hiking, playing ball in the yard or having movie night at home. He just wants to be with his people.

Manny is crate trained, knows sit and comes surprisingly well when called. He does well on leash, but it does not appear he’s had much leash experience. He can become quite excited when approaching another dog but there has been no sign of fear or aggression. His behavior is more “C’mon let’s run and play!” (Continued leash work will quickly teach Manny to contain his excitement.) There have been no issues with house training and he settles easily in his crate at night.

Manny wants to be everyone’s friend...I don’t believe he’s ever met a stranger! Chasing a ball, running with the resident dogs and shaking the dickens out of the closest stuffy are some of his favorite pastimes (in addition to snuggling in a blanket at your feet).

Manny’s size makes him perfect for many lifestyles. He’s small enough for condo or apartment life and definitely big enough to make a great hiking companion. He does need to work on his jumping and he can be a bit “mouthy” during playtime. For these reasons, I would not recommend a home with small children. Manny should do well with or without a doggy sibling.

This pup is going to make a great family addition and will provide companionship with a dose of entertainment! I
