About Chewbacca
Chewie is an adorable male Lhasa Apso puppy, born 14 May, 2018.
Their mother and father were rescued from a puppy farm in April. Chewie was born in foster care and has had the very best start in life with home cooked food, a warm indoor home environment, regular worming and socialisation with other people, children and other dogs. Weaned at 8 weeks and vaccinated and health checked. Second vaccination is at 12 weeks, where Chewie can go to his new home but he will need to be returned to our vets at around 6 months for his third vaccination and desexing. which is included in the adoption fee
A home for Chewie will have someone home to care for him and a small friend to play with . He isnt available to a family who work full time , or where he is left alone for long periods .
Lhasa Apso are a small breed so may suit apartment living , they are not a breed that needs a lot of exercise and therefore not suitable for people who want to do a lot of walking or jogging
They love the company of people and are very affectionate and cuddly, they are also very good natured with other small dogs and love to play.
We are a not for profit rescue. All proceeds from adoptions fund the veterinary care of our older and sicker dogs, many of whom can never be rehomed, and have extensive veterinary costs.
Lhasa Apso's have a non shedding coat that require regular grooming, this ongoing cost need to be taken into consideration when applying for Chewie.
They are in foster carer in Hinton near Maitland

Breed information, source Wikipedia
Lhasa Apso
Non-Sporting Dog Breed
The Lhasa Apso is a non-sporting dog breed originating in Tibet. It was bred as an interior sentinel in the Buddhist monasteries, to alert the monks to any intruders who entered. Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet, and apso is a word in the Tibetan language meaning "bearded", so, Lhasa Apso simply means "long-haired Lhasa dog". There are, however, some who claim that the word "apso" is a form of the Tibetan word "rapso", meaning "goat-like", which would make the equivalent translation "wooly Lhasa dog"

Adoption details
We require an initial application over the phone or in writing and then if a dog seems a match we can arrange a meet and greet at a local park or the foster carers home. If the meet is successful we then arrange a yard check and if that is satisfactory we require full payment on picking up the dog.
We then give a 2 week trial and if in that time it is not working we will refund all but $50 for admin costs. We also require that the adopter returns our dogs back to us at any time in its lifetime (without a refund) for us to rehome.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
