BRONCO

My story

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET BRONCO…. and you might call him the GOAT of all Broncos!! This absolutely adorable, 14 lb, tricolored, 2 year old Lhasa/Shih Tzu/Poodle is a sublime combination of sweetness and opinions! Lhasa (mix) lover’s (maybe Havanese?) beware — he will steal your heart like he’s stolen mine! We are working with 4 Paws Kiddo Rescue to make sure he gets the ideal home. Bronco was dumped in the shelter after a bite incident. We have not seen any issues to indicate he has any aggression. In fact, the video will show you how he is here. However, it is our job to advise of whatever history we know. Personally, we think he’s one of the best dogs we’ve ever rescued. If you want a dog who is gonna play like a maniac with toys and even fetch … follow you everywhere and prove what a good cook you are when you serve him dinner, Bronco is the pup for you! He is a foodie thru and thru!! He does need some leash training, as he pulls and is easily distracted by buses and trucks. Once he has deemed you worthy (which takes about a minute), he will soar into bed with you, snuggle until you get up and look at you with those gorgeous eyes that tell you how he feels! Lhasa are sensitive dogs and so is Bronco. He is loyal and protective to a tee and sits quietly while you work (or squeaking a toy to remind you he is there)…waiting for the next time to get all your attention! He will bark to alert in the house and sometimes on a walk, but is typically pretty quiet. If you are not at home and you are in an apartment/condo, he will bark voraciously when anyone walks by. Therefore, we suggest a home vs. apartment. When you brush him, if you hit a “knot” he will let you know! If you scold him, he will give you side eye for a moment and wait to hear “ok, now good boy” and he’s over it. He is not a dog for kids, because children are usually too frenetic and if yours aren’t…their friends probably are! Bronco does get a protective on walks when he sees other dogs and just needs training for this easily correctable trait. He loves other dogs but can get a little too excited when he first meets and needs a “getting acquainted” minute or two! He could definitely be an only dog if his people work from home or he isn’t alone much. Bronco does not have separation anxiety and his potty training skills are pretty good — but no promises at your house. All in all…Bronco is a stallion! We love him and will only let him go to the perfect home — for him and for you!! Interested? He’s the best. Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, groomed, vet checked, dewormed, deflea'd and come with a leash, collar and ID If you are interested in adopting a pup from Lhasa Happy Homes, please complete the Adoption Application before calling.
