Ace 2 - Lhasa Apso and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Ace is a sweet Shih Tzu or Lhasa mix boy who lost his home and the only life he ever knew. Ace gets along with most other dogs and everyone he meets it seems. He suffered for many years with cherry eyes which are swollen glands in his eyes as well as dry eye. They were repaired as soon as he came to the rescue, but he will probably need eye drops for dry eyes for the rest of his life. He is such a sweet boy and will make a wonderful addition to a quiet home.
Like many rescue dogs, we're not sure how well housetrained Ace is but he "appears" to be potty trained. Ace is a lover who enjoys morning back scratches like no dog I've ever met. A good game of fetch is also in his daily agenda. He 's balls!

Ace is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.

Adoption Fee: $275

This fee includes at least one health exam with our veterinarian while in our care, spay/neuter, all vaccinations (including rabies, as age-appropriate), a pre-adoption professional grooming, and a microchip with lifetime registration at no additional cost. Dogs also leave with a new collar and/or harness, leash, and a gift bag that includes, among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble currently fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also help us rescue the next homeless or unwanted dog in need.

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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
