Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu
Black with White
Each organization sets the adoption fee for their animals. Adoption fees help cover the cost of this animal’s care as well as allowing the organization to help more animals.
Ashton shows signs of past mistreatment and may lower his head with quick movements, so a gentle, patient adopter familiar with his breed will help him continue to blossom. With love, reassurance, and continued training, Ashton will be an incredibly devoted, joyful companion!
