Story
Ethan, a chill Lhasa Apso, is the guy who, stumbling out of the house with bedhead to grab a breakfast burrito before surfing, is discovered by a model scout and winds up on the cover of GQ, destined to be the next Spiderman. Our easygoing snaggletooth has emerged from a tough time in a coat of wild white floof and some temporary baldness, and yet he’s clearly a gentle heartthrob about to star in a forever home filled with cuteness, hijinks, and unconditional love. Likes dogs, gets around like a champ, will never say no to a treat or a snuggle. Adopt him for an easygoing bestie; update us on his journey to fame and fortune.
Here are some notes from his foster:
Ethan came from a pretty rough situation but has made huge improvements in the past few weeks- I couldn't be more proud of him!
He has so much confidence now that he's feeling better-- he loves hanging out with other dogs, has a huge appetite, enjoys going on walks, adventures in the car, loves cuddles and really really loves having a routine!
His skin was a big issue when he came in- he had a skin infection that was hot and inflamed, huge patches of matted fur all over his body- he was feeling pretty painful, and didn't want to be handled, understandably. After a little bit of trust Ethan let me cut the matts off and from then on he slowly started to become a whole new dog.
Like a lot of our dogs, Ethan's daily routine gives him a huge sense of safety. An example--Ethan knows after his morning potty time comes breakfast and he will patiently and proudly wait by his bowl, once he's finished eating, he goes into the living room to get cozy on the couch and take a morning nap.. etc.
He's figuring out how to be a dog with the help of my resident dogs/ other pups from Muttville and it's been an amazing experience watching him thrive. He has such a goofy little personality, and cutest little face, with his tiny little underbite--you can't help but smile when he's around.
Ethan's forever home should include lots of love, patience, TLC, positive reinforcement, and the ability to keep him to a routine-- All of your hard work will be rewarded with the never ending amount of love, trust and companionship Ethan has to give in return.
