Step 1
Study up on your dog breeds. Make sure the Lhasa Apso is a good breed for you. he last thing you want is a dog that is not compatible with you and your family.

Step 2
Keep in mind that there are breed-specific searches online. Go to a site such as Petfinder and type in "Lhasa Apso." After you give Petfinder your location and the breed, the site will give you a list of all Lhasa Apso dogs within your range.

Step 3
Spend some time looking for the Lhasa Apso that you want.

Step 4
After deciding on the dog you want on Petfinder, double-click on the dog and get all of the information you need. Sometimes the fee to adopt is different, depending on the shelter. Petfinder is a service used by many shelters each with their own adopting policies.

Step 5
After going to the right site for your dog, you will need to fill out their application, possibly be put on a waiting list, participate in a home visit, and submit veterinary records (if you have owned a pet). Every site and shelter varies, so read all of their information.

Step 6
Be prepared to wait. No one finds their perfect match immediately. Your Lhasa Apso might take longer to rescue than to buy a Lhasa Apso from a breeder or a pet store but in the end, you will be helping your community, your wallet and your new companion.
