Hello!! My name is Benson and I am one unique little guy! I am a 5 year old white Lhasa Apso and I have a little pink nose. I am unusual in that I am an albino Lhasa. There’s not too many of us around!! I think I’m pretty special and very unique looking. I am full of love and that’s what counts the most!!
I do have to tell you that I have cataracts from a congenital eye condition. I have limited vision now and sometimes I wait for one of my foster brothers and sisters to walk ahead of me so I know what to expect. My foster mom says that my vision problem does not affect me and that I am one happy little guy. She would like to see my forever home be one that has another dog to help me along.
I am quite sweet and very loving and love to get attention from anyone who will pay attention to me. I really love to be with my foster siblings, especially Nailah. She is always willing to play with me. I also love to be with my foster mom and I follow her all over the house. I have a very special little toy that I carry all around the house. Sometimes my foster parents play tug-of-war with me and I really like that. I am protective of my favorite toy, so my foster mom thinks that if my forever home has older children rather than younger that would be best for me.
I do have some allergies that are controlled with high quality food and supplements, so I will need to continue that in my forever home.
Please think about me as part of your family. I know that I have special needs, but I’m definitely worth it! If you want to talk to my foster mom about me, please contact her at sherry352@sbcglobal.net. She knows me and loves me and will tell you all about me. Also, please check out my very own Petfinder page for even more information.

Hello!! My name is Darden and I am proud to say that I am a Lone Star dog, up for adoption and ready for my forever home! I am a sweet 1 ½ year old Lhasa Apso boy. I have a beautiful short beige coat and a beautiful “pup”onality to match! My foster mom says that I am a doll!
I was rescued by a Good Samaritan who discovered that I was living outside, instead of inside, my first home. She also noticed that I had a limp. When the Volunteers at Lone Star got me they had me checked out by a veterinarian who said that I have Legg Perthe Syndrome. That’s a degenerative disease of the hip joint, but I want to tell you that it doesn’t slow me down one bit! I got an artificial hip, but unfortunately it would not stay in the hip socket, so I still have it, but my hip is not quite right. I don’t notice that I have any problems and play as long and as hard as all my foster brothers and sisters. I will probably have to have surgery on my hip sometime in the future due to this problem.
Everyone thinks that I am one great little guy. I love everyone and love to play with everyone. I think I could be the perfect dog for your family if you are willing take on my special need.
Please contact my foster mom at adoptioninquiries@yahoogroups.com and also check out my very own Petfinder page. I promise that I will love you forever if you give me my “fur”ever home!

Hello from sunny Arizona!!! My name is Marvin and I am a Lone Star dog living in Arizona in a GREAT foster home. I am a Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix boy of about 3 years and I weigh 17 pounds. I was rescued from one of the local shelters in Texas and was in pretty bad shape. I had a problem with hair loss, particularly on one of my back legs. But, with lots of good food, nutritional supplements and love I am healthy, have a great coat, and I am one happy boy.
My most favorite thing is to be with my people. Wherever my foster mom is, I’m right there. Or sometimes I prefer to be with my foster dad. Mostly I like it when they are together because then I get to be with both of them!!! I particularly like it when they are in the kitchen cooking. I sprawl right in the middle of the floor to be where the action is, hoping that something might drop my way!!!
I love my foster brothers and sisters and I enjoy playing with them and with my toys. I am house-trained and even know how to use a doggy door. What more could you ask for??? Mostly, I am smart, affectionate, funny, and sweet. I will even talk to you while you are petting me. My foster mom says that I make a happy little grumbling sound every time she gives me some loving. I have also been dubbed “Mr. Personality”. You can tell by my picture that I am a charmer and will steal your heart forever.
The best thing that could happen to me would be that I find my forever home. I promise to love you and be your best friend forever. Please email my foster mom at azdoglover713@yahoo.com for more information about me. Also, check out my Petfinder page.

Hello!!! My name is Lobo and, as you can see from by picture, I am a very handsome little 4 year old Shih Tzu boy. I weigh about 16 pounds or so. I am one sweet guy AND I am also one very lucky guy. My life before living in my “way cool Arizona foster home” with my “way cool foster Mom and Dad” was not so great. I spent the first 4 years of my life living in a puppy mill before I was rescued by the wonderful volunteers at Lone Star. I was a little shy and fearful when I first came into foster care, but I have blossomed into a social, loving and very sweet boy.
My foster Mom says that I am even cuter than my picture and that I look like and even act like a little angel. She tells me that I am very easy to have around the house. Actually, I am so grateful to have been rescued that I have a little smile on my face pretty much all the time. I love getting pets from any one and will rub against your leg when I want attention. I also love playing with my foster brothers and sisters and would love to be in a forever home that has a playful dog that could be my friend. I am house trained too.
If you think that I might be the perfect dog for your family, please take a look at my Petfinder page. Also, my foster Mom Lisa would be happy to tell you all about me. You can email her at azdoglover713@yahoo.com. I now know what it’s like to live in a REAL home with a REAL family. I REALLY would like my own special forever home and family. Please think about me!! I promise to make you happy!!

My name is Xandie and I am one cute little girl! I am a 12 pound, 4 year old black and white Shih Tzu who has been through a lot in my short life. When I first got to Lone Star I was very fearful of everyone and everything. You see, I was abused in my first home and it has taken me a long time to learn to trust again. I am getting better and better each day and I so appreciate my foster family for helping me through this difficult time. I have now gotten to the point where I will let my foster mom pick me up for pets and loving. I learned that it’s a pretty nice thing to be in her lap getting lots of love!! Because of my history, it would be best if my forever home had children 16 years of age or older. Also, my new family will need to understand that it might take a bit for me to get comfortable with them. I promise though, it would be worth it! I deserve my very own forever home!
I would love to have another playful dog in the house to keep me company. I try to get my foster brother to play with me, but he wants nothing to do with me. I can’t understand that!!! My foster mom takes me on walks and I love that. And, I love to be with you when ever you take a car ride. That’s VERY much fun for me. I just want to be with you and be loved by you. I especially want to be close when there is a thunderstorm!!!
I am housetrained and know how to use the doggie door. You see, I’m just about the perfect little dog for your family. I would love to meet you and spend the rest of my life with you. Please contact my foster mom at luvmyflick@gmail.com . She will be happy to tell you all about me. Also, I have my very own Petfinder page that you can look at. Think about me when you are looking to adopt. I won’t disappoint you!!!

What a sweet little older lady I am!! My name is Paddy Paws and I will be 10 years young on December 1, 2009. I am a Shih Tzu and I would love to find my forever home to live out my senior years. My first family had to give me up because they were moving and could not take me with them. I am very grateful that the wonderful volunteers at Lone Star have taken me in. Now, I need to convince YOU that I would make the perfect addition to your family.
I am very sweet and cuddly and I love, love, love to be held just like a baby. That means that you can give me lots of belly rubs and I do love my belly rubbed!! I will stay for them as long as you are willing to pet me. I get along well with my foster brothers and sister and I especially love playing with one of them. I also enjoy the company of children as long as they respect my senior status. My favorite toys are soft and squeaky. I am also housebroken and I even know how to use a doggie door! My favorite spot to sleep would be in bed with you, but I also am content in my little bed at the side of your bed.
My foster mom calls me a chow hound. She learned pretty quickly that she needs to watch me at dinner time. I will chow down my bowl of food in no time flat, then, of course, I need to check out which one of my foster siblings has left anything in their bowl! I’m right there to gobble it up!!!
If you think I might be the perfect senior lady for you, please contact my foster mom at luvmyflick@gmail.com. She would be more than happy to tell you all about me. You can also check out my very own Petfinder page for even more information. It would make me so happy to find my forever home!!!

WOW!!! How did a Tibetan Terrier/Havanese mix end up in a Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso Rescue? I’ll tell you how and am I ever glad that I am here!! My name is Magnolia. One of our volunteers was taking a leisurely walk when she saw me. I’m so glad she did, because I led her to where my FOUR PUPPIES were. She just knew when she saw me that I was a Momma dog and instead of picking just me up, she followed me so that she could help us all. I knew when I saw her that she was special. She took us to another volunteer with Lone Star to help raise us, and now we all have a new chance on life. We are looking for our forever homes.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I am about 2 years old and I am a very good girl. My foster mom said that I was a good mother to my four pups. There names are Apex, Fluke, Pockie, and Dot. There will be stories in this column about them soon. We all have Petfinder pages, so if you are interested in any of us, please check us out.
The volunteers at Lone Star aren’t exactly sure what kind of a dog I am, but their best guess is that I am a Tibetan Terrier/Havanese mix. I have a black and gray coat and I think I am a very pretty girl. I am also very sweet and loving to both humans and other dogs. I know that I would make you very happy.
Please consider adopting me so that I can have my very own forever home. You can contact my foster mom at adoptioninquiries@yahoogroups.com and you can also look at my Petfinder page. I promise that I won’t disappoint you.

Greetings! We are Charles and Brent and we would like to tell you a little about ourselves. We were both rescued from North Carolina and are two of the “Hairless NC Shih Tzus”. We had horrible skin problems, worms, and had lost all of our hair due to extreme neglect. We were also very shy and scared when we first came into foster care. We just did not know what was happening to us, but once we figured out that life can be wonderful and what loving care and good medical attention are, we started blossoming. We are now healthy and happy and we are even starting to grow hair!!! We now need to find our forever homes.
Charles
I am a 6-7 year old Shih Tzu boy and I weigh about 10 pounds or so. I now have hair and that is SO COOL!!!
I was very shy when I first came into foster care, but now I am one social little lad. I am very sweet and loving once I get to know you and my foster mom says that I am a charmer. I love to get you to pet me and pay attention to me. It’s fun to be loved!!! I also love my foster brothers and sisters and will play with them.
Think about adopting me. Check out my Petfinder page and please contact my foster mom at Adoptioninquiries@yahoogroups.com She knows that I deserve to find my forever home. I sure hope that’s with you!!!

Brent
My name is Brent and I am about 5-6 years old and I weigh 11 pounds. I don’t have very much air – except on my legs!!! My foster mom says that I have that “cowboy” look as it appears that I am wearing chaps! I think it looks pretty darn cool and I am quite happy that my hair is starting to grow back (even if it is just on my legs).
I was VERY shy when I first came to Lone Star, but I, like Charles, have developed into a sweet and loving companion. Please consider me as part of your family. I would love to find my forever home.
Please look at my Petfinder page and contact my foster mom at Adoptioninquiries@yahoogroups.com You won’t be disappointed if you do!!

My name is Picasso and I am a 4-5 year old Lhas Apso lad. I have a beautiful brown and white coat and am pretty handsome if I must say so myself! I found my way to Lone Star and my foster home after I was taken to the SPCA due to an eye injury. I had to have my eye removed, but I’m OK with that. I do very well and you would never know that I have this problem.
I am a little wary of strangers and just need to get to know you a bit and then I’m fine. My foster mom says that I am a little temperamental. For example, I like to know when you might want to pick me up. If you startle me I might have some “Lhasatude”. But, if you are calm and gentle with me, I’m pretty much OK. Because of this, it would be better if I were in a forever home that did not have young children. I prefer the quiet life and tend to watch what’s going on from afar.
I think that I am getting better and better each day. I know that if I had my very own forever home and my very own family I would become even better. I just need someone to give me a chance. If you are interested, please contact my foster mom at adoptioninquities@yahoogroups.com. She will tell you that I am definitely worth it. Also, please look at my Petfinder page.

Woof Woof!! My name is Cheddar and I am one sweet little Lhasa Apso boy. My coat is a beautiful golden color – just like Cheddar Cheese!!! I am two years old and a very, very happy and lucky lad. When I came into foster care, I had a damaged right eye that had not been taken care of by my previous family. The wonderful Lone Star volunteers took me to the Veterinarian and I started treatment. Unfortunately, we found out that my eye was so badly damaged that it had to be removed. But, that’s OK by me! I can see just fine and it hasn’t stopped me one bit from enjoying life.
I am a very playful young dog and will play at every opportunity. I particularly like to play with my foster brothers and sisters, so I really would like a playful young dog in my forever family to keep me company. Not only am I playful, but I am also very sweet and lovable with my human friends. I think everyone is my friend and I just love to get attention, pets and tummy rubs.
I think I am just about the most perfect dog for your family. Please contact my foster mom at Adoptioninquiries@yahoogroups.com for more information about me. You can also read about me on my very own Petfinder page.
