Meet Amber – The Sweetest Chocolate Havanese Around!

Hey there, future best friend! My name is Amber, and I’m a 10 lb bundle of love and curiosity looking for my forever home! Birthday? May 24, 2018 (yes, I expect birthday treats!) Currently chilling in: Boca Raton, FL Hobbies include: Carrying my toys everywhere, observing EVERYTHING, and snuggling like a pro! Let me tell you a little about myself: I love people and don’t mind when guests come over. More admirers for me! I’ll let you pick me up—just clap your hands, and I’m all yours! I sleep in bed with my foster mom (because let’s be real, I’m royalty). I’m potty trained on a wee-wee pad and use the patio like a champ! I’m a toy enthusiast and will proudly parade around with my favorite one in my mouth. Work in Progress: Leash walking... yeah, not my thing yet, but I’m smart and learning! I settle down when left alone, though I might give you a little dramatic howl at first (just so you know I miss you!). But once you’re back, I’ll be right there for snuggles and playtime! I’m a happy, curious, and loving little lady who just wants to find a family to love me forever. Could that be you? If you’re looking for a smart and sweet companion, apply to adopt me today—I can’t wait to meet you! My adoption fee is $450 and my adoption will take place in my foster home in Boca Raton, Florida.

Opportunity to bid on - Rare First Edition. Hardcover. Cathryn Michon, Author! Find it under "books'' here https://new.biddingowl.com/items?QueryAuctionId=d03789b2-16ff-49da-ad29-8a01847accaa&QueryCategory=Books Signed Bookplate by Author, and Bruce Cameron (author, columnist and humorist known for "A Dog’s Purpose") and Tucker the Dog. First edition sold out on first day. Losing one’s dog is one of the most difficult experiences we go through and it’s hard to find solace. However, the profound, four-legged narrator of "I’m Still Here" has nothing but good news for humans. The free verse is equally rhapsodic about the eternal nature of our souls and the amazing sound of crinkly wrappers that means cheese is about to be sliced. This very good dog proclaims that love never dies, that we will meet again, and that if you ever doubted that humans are magnificent creatures, look no further than the humble ball. There is nothing to fear, because it is this dog’s purpose to pull you (like a bad dog who doesn’t know how to do “leash”) toward joy, and to remind you to relish all the naps and treats life has to offer. #dogsofınstagram #halohavaneserescue #adoptdontshop #nonprofitorganization #brucecameron #adogspurpose

The Sweetest Little Havanese Girl Ever!

UPDATE - 11/09/24 Adopted ! Hi, I’m Taffy! I bet it was my adorable face that made you stop and look at me. Yes, I'm very cute but there is more to me than beauty. I am a total love-bug! Let me tell you more about myself. I’m a 5-year-old Havanese, and I’ve been through a lot, but now I’m ready to find my forever family. I used to live in a puppy mill, but those days are behind me, and I’m learning what it’s like to be loved and cared for. I love attention – if you pet me, I’ll be the happiest dog in the world! Sitting on the couch next to you, getting all the love and cuddles, is my favorite thing .Seriously, if there’s a lap or a cozy spot by your side, I’m there! I’m still learning this whole “leash walking” thing, but I’m getting the hang of it. Sometimes, I sometimes like to carry a toy around with me just for fun—oh, and I may have a slight obsession with socks and dish towels. What can I say? They’re irresistible! At night, I’m happy to sleep in a crate, but if you let me, I’d much rather snuggle up on the bed with you. I’m still working on my potty training, and I’m getting better every day – though I have to admit, I’m not a fan of going out in the rain! There are a few things that make me nervous, like loud noises. Vacuums, thunderstorms, and hair dryers make me shake, so I'll need a calm and patient home that can make me feel safe and loved. I’m a sweet girl who just wants to be loved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you with all her heart, I think we’d be perfect together! Could you be my forever family? If you’re ready to welcome Taffy into your family, head over to rescuedhavanese.org/adoption to fill out an adoption application! Her adoption fee is $450, and she’s up-to-date on all her medical care. I am being fostered in Vermilion, Ohio. #halohavaneserescue #adoptdontshop #nonprofitorganization #puppymill #puppymillsurvivor

One of his favorite moments is spent cozying up with his foster dad during TV time, soaking up all the cuddles he can get. Personality: Odie is a social butterfly who craves attention.

UPDATE 6/30/24 - ADOPTED !

UPDATE 6/30/24 - ADOPTED ! I'm Pascal, an irresistibly cute 6-month-old Havanese puppy with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. I'm a professional snuggler and expert in petting sessions, and I adore being around people. Wherever my foster family goes, you can bet I'll be right there, wagging my tail and spreading joy. I absolutely love walks, but only if I'm with my doggy pals. I'm not a fan of solo strolls; I need my furry friends by my side. That's why I would thrive in a home with another dog to be my playmate. Together, we can have endless fun! My favorite toy is my squeaky Lambchop, and I'm getting pretty good at fetching it. I'm still learning the ropes of retrieving, but I'm a quick learner. At night, you'll find me curled up in bed with my foster mom, though I also enjoy my cozy dog beds. I'm making great strides with house training and am very reliable with potty pads. Health-wise, I'm up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. My adoption fee is $600 and my adoption will take place in my foster home in Chicago. Ready to bring some extra love and fun into your life? I'm excited to find my forever family!

UPDATE 9/25/24 ADOPTED! AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Meet Miracle, the 4-year-old purebred Havanese who truly lives up to her name. Rescued from a puppy mill, she's now on a quest to find her forever home. If you’re someone who loves morning affection, Miracle’s your perfect match. She starts her day with enthusiastic kisses that will melt your heart. She’s a hand-kissing pro and loves to nudge and give nose bumps to remind you she’s there, ready for some love. Miracle also has a playful streak and loves to chase and wrestle with her three foster fur siblings. But don’t worry—she knows how to relax, too. The couch is her happy place, whether she’s chilling by herself or curled up next to her foster mom. And one of her favorite activities is sitting on the back of the couch, watching the world go by. Building trust with Miracle will require patience and lots of praise. She needs an adopter who will work with her, and enjoy seeing her progress. She might have some setbacks, but with time and love, she’ll learn to trust and feel safe. Miracle’s antics will keep you entertained. Her “dinner dance” is a delightful performance that’s sure to bring a smile to your face. And when you talk to her, she tilts her head in the most endearing way, making you feel like she’s truly listening to every word. Miracle is making progress on potty training.
