Description
Dog Breed: Lhasa Apso (short coat). Noel is a 12-year-old Lhasa Apso who is RESCUE ONLY due to her age and medical needs. She was surrendered to the shelter in very poor condition. Because Noel was already blind and had severe discharge and infection in both eyes, the shelter made the medical decision to enucleate both eyes to relieve her pain and improve her comfort. She also received a full dental cleaning and polishing, with no teeth needing removal. Despite everything she has been through, Noel deserves a safe, quiet place where she can heal and enjoy her golden years with patience and love. Why Rescue Only • Senior (12 years old) • Medical needs requiring continued care • Blind (both eyes removed for medical reasons) • Previously severely matted, needs ongoing grooming and comfort care If you are a licensed rescue and can help Noel, please reach out as soon as possible or contact the shelter directly.

Breed overview
Lhasa Apso
A.K.A.: Lion Dog, Apso, Abso, Shaggy-Haired Tibetan Dog, Bearded Lion Dog, Himalayan Mountain Dog, Tibetan Apso
Overview:
The Lhasa Apso is an ancient and captivating breed, originating in the Himalayas where they served as watchdogs in monasteries and palaces. These small yet sturdy dogs possess a distinctive appearance, characterized by their long, flowing double coat that often comes in a variety of colors, and a charmingly alert expression framed by hair falling over their eyes. Beneath that luxurious coat is a confident and somewhat independent spirit; they are known for being intelligent, devoted to their families, but can be a bit reserved with strangers. Their relatively small size and moderate exercise requirements make them surprisingly well-suited for apartment living, though regular grooming is essential to maintain their magnificent coat. While generally a healthy breed with a lifespan often reaching into their teens, potential owners should be aware of conditions like patellar luxation or eye problems. With proper socialization and consistent training, the Lhasa Apso can be a delightful and loyal companion for individuals and families alike, offering both love and a touch of ancient mystique.
