CHILE
OK, what is a Tibetan dog doing with a South American name like Chile? I’m not really sure! I like my name, but more important than that, I think I am one lucky boy. Let me tell you a little bit of my history, and you will see why.
I am a 4-5 year old, 18 pound, beige Lhasa Apso who was rescued by the volunteers at Lone Star from one of the local animal shelters. I was there because of being labeled a “biter” and was scheduled to be put to sleep. My previous family took me there because they said that I had bitten one of the neighbors. Actually, my owner admitted that I was being provoked by that neighbor, but I still wound up at the animal shelter. I am so grateful for the folks at Lone Star that they found me there and rescued me. I am now alive and well and hopefully soon I will be able to be adopted by that special someone and find my forever home.
I am pretty much an easy-going, sweet, and loving guy. I still get a little frightened of strangers (maybe I’m just cautious) and I might “nip” a bit at their heels when I first meet them. I need to be introduced to new people carefully, but once I get to know you, I am very loving. I seem to prefer the company of men and I have a favorite volunteer at Lone Star named Harrison. I follow him everywhere and I trust him. He also gives me lots of pets!!
I like other dogs, but only if they are more gentle and quiet. If there are some younger more rambunctious dogs around me, I tend to remind them that they need to behave. I guess this means that I would do best in a home with either no dog or an older gentle dog. I also would prefer a family, preferably a couple or single man, with a quiet lifestyle. No children please as they might not understand my special needs.
I am getting better and better each day and I know that I can be that special dog in your life. I am very loving to humans I know and trust. Please help me learn to trust you. Maybe I could follow you around and be your “little buddy”. I promise to give you a lifetime of love in return. If you would like to know more about me, please contact my foster family at sherry352@sbcglobal.net. You can also check out my Petfinder page!
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots, and am heartworm negative.
