Details about "PROCEDURES" responses:

All animals are fully vetted, altered, and all medical conditions treated and resolved before Lhasas are placed into new home. Our application is quite extensive. We require three references (and do ask for a vet reference if applicant had/has other pets) and a home visit. **We do NOT adopt to homes with children under the age of 12 and would encourage shelters to do same** :)
