About Mars

INTRODUCING MARS! This 21 lb, 1.5-year-old LhasaPoo is incredibly lovable and ready to start his new chapter. Rescued from the Palmdale Shelter after a tough start, Mars was left behind when his buddy tragically passed away. He sat waiting for someone to help him, and now he's shining with joy! Mars shows signs of being a little shy, but he settles down quickly and enjoys human companionship. He’s still mastering potty training, doing most of his business outside and on pee pads. He adores cuddles, belly rubs, and showering you with kisses. Though he’s still figuring out toys, he’s eager to learn. He gets along well with other dogs and expresses a friendly curiosity during walks. This sweet boy thrives with active families who have a yard and can commit time for daily interactions and training. Kids over 8 years would be fine, as he adores young humans. Mars is altered, vaccinated, and ready for adoption with zero fees. He deserves a loving home where he can grow and flourish! Could you be the special family he’s been waiting for?
