Hi guys! I'm Alvin and with St. Patty's Day approaching I'm hoping the old Blarney Stone brings me good luck in the way of a perfect forever home.

I'm just an incredibly likable little guy but I was in a horrid state when I was found. I was nearly naked - I mean furless, due to neglect, allergies and mites. I have had the best care from Furbaby Rescue though and my hair is coming back in and I'm looking quite cute. Before I'm adopted I will be tested again just to be sure I'm totally free of those little varmints that made me so ill and furless. Just so you know right up front, I will always need an allergy free diet. You won't be able to think that just once you could give me this or that and it will be OK. I will have problems if I vary from my special diet. But the good news is if you buy the best allergy free dog food right up front, you're going to save on vet bills in the long run. My foster Mom can tell you exactly what I can eat so you don't even have to experiment and waste money on all different kinds of foods.

You'll find that I love everyone and I especially love anyone who provides me with toys and chews. I love life and I know it's better when it's shared with a human or two and with another dog. I am affectionate and very playful but I'll also settle down with you for watching TV, reading, or snoozing. Just speak to me and my tail wags at an incredible speed. When I go to the groomers they rave about me, how I am so quiet in the bath and hold still for the clipping. Everyone thinks that's because I'm just as good as gold all the way around but after what I've been through, it's just something that feels really good. It's like a gift. Speaking of gifts, would you consider being my gift to you?
Please watch my slideshow, it is awesome.

T-I-M-O-T-H-YYYYYYY ! Hey, did you just call my name? Huh, huh, huh???? I'll be right there! I'm just chompin' at the bit for my first real forever home. That's FOR EVER as in never dump me.
Yeah, I was dumped like so many others. Some people found me and kept me for awhile but then as in too many cases they decided to send me off to the shelter. Believe me, that's not like the Seven Dwarfs who sing their "Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to work we go." It's more like "Oh no, Oh no, It's off to the shelter I go." Blech!

So here's the deal. I'm no spring chicken but I'm not on my last legs either. I'm past that puppy stage where I chew on your shoes. I do LOVE my toys though and I'll be wanting to keep them to myself so if you have other dogs that I need to share the toys with, you'll need to remind me to share. I could probably be the only dog if my humans are around for me the majority of the time. If you got dumped a time or two, you might be edgy, too, when those you love leave you for awhile, not knowing if you'll ever see them again. In time I'll learn that you'll be back for me but for now it's hard to believe I won't be dumped again. My foster mom thinks she's so special because I bonded to her in about 15 minutes. Don't tell her it was only because I'm a lovable little rascal who just wants to be closely attached to someone. I could get attached to my new forever person in 10 minutes and 39 seconds! (That's just to keep my foster mom humble). Oh, one more thing.....I'll go for walks with you and we'll have a grand old time but no one ever cared enough to teach me the proper way to walk on a leash so you'll need some information on how to make us a good walking pair and it can happen and you'll be so proud to strut around the neighborhood with me.

Other than that, I'm just about perfect!

Yup, I did just hear YOU call my name but before I can run into your arms you must apply with Furbaby Rescue. They want the best for me, too.

And if you want to see more pictures of me, please go and watch my slide show, it is awesome.

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.

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.
