Amos - Lhasa Apso and Tibetan Terrier Dog for Adoption in East Hartford, Connecticut

Meet Amos! He is a 3 year old Lhasa Apso/Tibetan Terrier mix (our best guess) and weighs 20lbs. He has the most beautiful highlight/lowlight hair coat - most of us pay a fortune at the salon for this coloring and his is au naturale!

Amos is a sweet guy who loves attention. He will glamour you with his "sit pretty" begging pose - it gets us all the time. This boy will do ANYTHING for food. He adores pets and cuddles, but Amos definitely has a Terrier influence and when it comes to walkies, he is all business. He will walk as long as the day is long if you let him, marching along taking in all the sights and smells.

Amos would love an adult home (or even one with teens) where he can hang his hat. He is friendly/indifferent with other dogs and may consider sharing space with another friendly pup. If you are interested in learning more about Amos, please contact his adoption counselor Beth at beth.b@poainc.org AND fill out an application ASAP at www.poainc.org .
