Answers:
That was very kind of you to adopt this dog.

I adopted a six year old Lhasa who had skin conditions as well as growths. Most growths are benign but it is important you get them checked out by your vet on your dogs wellness check.

This is a fabulous breed of dog. I know you will enjoy having him as part ofy our family.
they might.i think they do sometimes my grandma's dog has a couple. although they could also be tumors/abscesses. so get her checked as soon as possible.
Its probably just skin tags, kind of like moles, small dogs and older dogs can be prone to them. Just keep an eye on them and mention them to the vet when you go.
first of all congrats on giving him a chance on life, not many dogs get the chance of a better life after being dumped by their owners. most get put down!!! yes dogs do get moles just like humans, take him to the vet if your worried, as it might become infected if scratched,(they might even remove them if its in a bad spot), and it will be good for you to know if the dog is healthy of not!! i hope he brings you happiness!
Remember he is eight yrs. old, so he is not in the prime of his life anymore. Wish i could be of more help. GREAT
for you for adopting a animal from the shelter!
I'm sure he will make a wonderful pet.
Good luck
Kudos to your from adopting your dog from the hmane society!!!!
