Sticky Dogs
Sticky Dogs are those who "stick around" a little longer than others.
Perhaps they have medical issues, behavioral issues, social issues, are a little older or just
for whatever reason have "stuck" around and need that extra love and attention to find their forever home.
Some of these dogs also have a scholarship where someone has pledged a certain amount towards their normal adoption
fee to aid in their getting adopted.

Tibet is an 15-17lbs Lhasa-Shih Tzu mix who is 8-9 years old. He favors his Lhasa origins and has that Lhasa-tude. He is an excellent option for an adult only home who has had dog experience before and who wants a little shadow to follow them around and wants one who will gladly keep their feet warm during the day while they are sitting at the computer or dog bed warm at night while they are sleeping. Tibet is housetrained and has never had an accident in his foster home. He goes out regularly but doesn't necessarily tell you when he needs to go but rather waits to be let out. He can make it through the entire night and never gets off the bed.
Tibet will follow his foster mom around the house during the day. He isn't necessarily under foot but he watches over her. When she sits down to work at the computer, he climbs under the desk and sits at her feet and will sit there until she gets up whether it's 10 minutes or 10 hours. When she sits down to watch TV, he sits at her feet. Tibet sleeps on his bed and sleeps right next to his foster mom's bed.Tibet is an perfect option for a single person. He tends to develop guarding attributes when there is more than one person in the home. If there are two, and they are male/female, he will definitely favor the female. We've often thought with how much he loves to ride in the car, he would be a wonderful option for someone who does long distance trucking or hauling. He's be a perfect "rider" dog and trust us, no one is getting in the cab of the truck when the owner is out or sleeping. He may be little but he packs a punch when he's watching over his people. -

Loomis is a 3 year old Cockapoo-Lhasa Apso. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He has lived with big and small dogs for the past couple of months. He also lives with a cat and doesn't care one way or another about the cat who is very dog savvy. He is crate trained and knows how to use a doggy door.
Loomis is very much about having a routine and feeling secure. It took him time to adjust to his foster home. We don't know how he ended up on the streets originally but once he was in a home it took him time to really bond with his foster family. Now he loves them and thinks the world of them. We expect he will do the exact same with his new home. He just needs time to adjust and a home that doesn't expect him to come running with hugs and kisses. Rather he'll be just Mr. Mellow Go with the Flow and eventually he'll be that little velcro dog.
Loomis came into our rescue from a shelter. He was brought in with most of his fur missing on his back area. He was completely raw with open wounds. Most likely it was caused initially from fleas but then the home that found him on the street decided to bathe him and it caused excruciating pain and inflammation for him. They didn't want to take him to the vet so they brought him in raw and oozing to the shelter. Poor little guy. But we knew we could give him the care and time he would need to heal. Now looking at his beautiful coat you'd never know what he's been through!
