Bodhi Lemon is a young, neutered male Lhasa Apso with a long, tricolor brindle coat. At 1 year and 9 months old, he’s fully house trained and up to date on vaccinations. Bodhi lives in Hood River, OR and does best in a calm, structured environment. He has special behavioral needs that require an adopter experienced with resource guarding and anxious behaviors.

About Bodhi Lemon

Bodhi Lemon has grown up in a professional training environment and brings plenty of experience with boundaries and structure. While small and irresistibly cute, Bodhi's world is shaped by his sensitivity—especially with strangers, unfamiliar settings, and when being handled. His resource guarding and anxiety are ongoing challenges, so his adopter should be comfortable navigating these behaviors and continue positive management. Children wouldn’t be a fit for Bodhi’s needs, but he generally does well with other dogs, especially smaller ones, as long as resources are managed smartly. Grooming goes smoothly for Bodhi with someone he trusts, but a new environment or a traditional groomer can be a real stress point for him. A calm home, ideally with someone open to home grooming and familiar with fear-based behaviors, will give Bodhi his best chance at thriving. He currently lives in a foster home and isn’t on site, so get in touch with Kind Animal Services if you’d like to learn more. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
