Lhasa Apso Rescue

National Lhasa Apso Rescue

Some of the Lhasa Apso rescue charities operate throughout the United States. These include:

ALAC Rescue-The Lhasa Apso Rescue Network
Nationwide Rescue for the American Lhasa Apso Club

Smaller Lhasa Apso Rescue Groups

While the larger charities are well known, there are many smaller rescue organisations, often operated on a very small budget but still doing a great job. Not all smaller organisations have internet sites. Smaller dog rescues are usually run by volunteers and many may not have dedicated kennels. All would like to hear from potential adopters but please contact them before visiting their listed address in case an appointment is necessary. The larger centres are usually open for most days of the week including weekends but check first.

By allowing, or even promoting irresponsible, uncontrolled breeding of dogs, humans sentence millions of healthy dogs and puppies to death each year in the United States. There are simply not enough homes for all the dogs that are born.

Here is the sad statistics for pet overpopulation in our country:

• Number of cats and dogs entering shelters each year:
  6–8 million (HSUS estimate)
  Number of cats and dogs euthanized by shelters each year:
  3–4 million (HSUS estimate)
  
  Number of cats and dogs adopted from shelters each year: 3–4 million (HSUS estimate)
  
  
• Percentage of dogs in shelters who are purebred: 25% (HSUS estimate)
  
  
• Average number of litters a fertile dog can produce in one year: 2
  Average number of puppies in a canine litter: 6–10
  In six years, one female dog and her offspring can theoretically produce 67,000 dogs.
