DONNIE
I am Donnie and I am a 4 year old Lhasa Apso with beautiful, silky white hair. I weigh about 14 pounds or so. Even though I could stand to gain a few pounds more, my build is quite slender so I look good at the weight I am now! My foster mom tells me that I have a great metabolism. I’m not really sure what that means except that I can eat, eat, eat and I don’t gain very much weight. I LOVE my food and I make certain that I am close by when my foster mom is making my breakfast, dinner, snacks, whatever! As long as there is food involved I am happy.
I came to Lone Star with some aggression issues as I am frightened of people I do not know. I tend to bark at strangers and also nibble at their feet a little. My foster mom says that I am doing much better now with new people, but I still prefer the company of those I know. It just takes me a little extra time to get to know a new person and to trust them. My new forever home needs to understand this and give me some time to adjust to all that is new. I like children, but to be honest I think I would be better off with a forever family of adults only.
Because I love to be hugged and petted, give lots of kisses, and get attention from humans, I know that I need to be comfortable around them. I am a sweet boy and love to love my family and friends. I particularly like to spend time in my foster mom’s lap and when I’m there I give her lots of kisses and let her give me lots of love in return.
I do well with my foster brother and sister dogs, and I will occasionally play with them and go for a romp in the yard. I must admit though, I do prefer the company of humans. If I am with someone I know and love, I am the happiest little dog ever. All I want to do is to please you and be with you!
Mom says that I am learning housebreaking quite nicely and when I get to my forever home it will take me no time flat to figure out what to do.
I am just a very special little dog who would make a wonderful addition to your family. I promise to be a good boy as long as you help me when I meet strangers. I will give you lots of love in return and slobber you with kisses!
Please contact my foster mom at sherry352@sbcglobal.net if you think I could fit into your family. Also, please check out my Petfinder page for even more information and pictures!
I am altered, up-to-date on all shots, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
