Havanese puppies and dogs in Sausalito, California

Update 6/14/26 from her foster home: Gigi is a sweet gentle soul who's looking for her forever home. Estimated to be around 6-7 years old she's a calm easy-going companion who loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa next to her person. Despite having limited vision due to cataract. Gigi gets around remarkably well. She listens for your footsteps and follows you from room to room can use the stairs and is great on walks. Her adaptability is amazing and everyone who meets her falls in love because she's so cute gentle and fluffy. What makes Gigi special is she's quiet well mannered and rarely barks. She's cuddly and trusting and just wants to be near you. She's dog friendly and does great with other dogs and feels most secure with a canine companion. She's house trained and an easy eater. Friendly with everyone she meets people and dogs alike. What she needs is a quiet home. Her limited eyesight makes her sensitive to loud or sudden noises so a calm neighborhood is ideal. She'll also need a future spay and potential cataract surgery can help fix her vision and continued eye supplements. She also has a small lump on her stomach which hasn't grown but should be tested. Since arriving in her foster's home Gigi has gained healthy weight and her coat has grown back soft and fluffy. Early vet tests didn't show signs of diabetes or other health issues. She's a happy healthy girl who just needs someone to call her own. FFR has already invested thousands into her early vet care and is fundraising for cataract surgery and dental care. If you'd like help donations are always appreciated: furryfriendsrescue.org/donations Original posting: We rescued Gigi from a distant shelter. The shelter person told us that she was maybe about 4-5 yrs old and very friendly. Great with dog buddy in her kennel. One shelter staff person said she didn't notice all the medical needs that Gigi has. Gigi was neglected matted and very dirty with bad smell. Dog friendly. When she went to our vet he told us she is older and that she needed dental and had some gum inflammation has lump on belly (need to remove & biopsy) not spayed and has double cataracts (vet did eye dye tests). Blood and urine tests shows no diabetes which can cause cataracts. Vet gave her eye drops. She has poor vision but sees light and large objects. She is getting around fine at her foster home and does great on walks. She can manage going up and down stairs. We have spent over $1000 so far on first exam eye blood & urine tests shave down/bath medications and all her vet care. Healthy foods eye vitamins and drops have help her. Healthier and sees well. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you. 🥰 https://www.furryfriendsrescue.org/donations 3/14/26 Foster Home Update: Gigi is a really remarkable little girl. I’m surprised by her everyday! She’s able to get around quite easily on her own despite the occasional light booping against my leg or a wall. She listens for my footsteps and able to follow me around. She’s quiet and easy going. Friendly with other dogs and everyone we meet on the street. I’m amazed by how easily she’s adapted to San Francisco streets. Her poor eyesight doesn’t seem to be slowing her down. She’s trusting cuddly and just likes to be nearby. She’s also an easy eater and house trained. All my friends and neighbors who’ve met her think she’s the sweetest.YouTube: https://youtu.be/mQwFiUOiwdAJuly 14, 2026, 12:39 pm

Caviar came to our rescue after her owner could no longer care for her, and she is now learning just how wonderful life can be with a little patience, consistency, and a family who will show her the world isn’t such a scary place after all.   A Sweet and Affectionate Companion   Caviar may start out a little shy, but her loving personality shines through once she feels safe. When she first arrived in her foster home, she was a bit unsure and would back away when someone reached out to pet her. But with a few treats, some gentle encouragement, and a little time, she quickly realized she was surrounded by people who loved her. Before long, she was walking up to family members for treats, waiting patiently under the kids’ table for a dropped sausage (her absolute favorite!), and acting like she had been part of the family forever.   Now, Caviar is a true cuddle bug. She loves being close to her people and will happily curl up beside you, snuggle next to you on the couch, or simply follow you from room to room to be part of whatever you’re doing. She is definitely a little velcro dog, but she also knows how to spread the love — when her foster mom is busy, she happily goes to her foster dad for some extra neck scratches and butt rubs.   At night, Caviar sleeps peacefully in bed with her foster family, curled up at the foot of the bed like the little princess she is.   Her Perfect Day   Caviar starts her day around 7–8 AM, waking up with her foster mom. Even if the rest of the family is already up and moving around, she patiently waits in the bedroom until her foster mom gets up. Once she’s ready for the day, she heads outside for a potty break and then comes back inside.   Breakfast is offered in the morning, although Caviar sometimes decides she would rather wait until after her walk. She enjoys getting out and exploring after the family has started their day. Dinner is served around 6 PM with the rest of the family, and unlike breakfast, she consistently finishes her meal.   During the day, Caviar loves simply being near her people. Whether her foster mom is doing chores around the house or working at her desk, Caviar happily follows along and settles nearby. She is the perfect little companion for someone looking for a dog who wants to be included in daily life.   Playful, Then Ready to Relax   Caviar has a wonderful balance of playful energy and couch-potato charm. She loves toys and will happily visit her toy box to pick out something fun. She enjoys bringing toys to her people for a quick game of tug and playtime, usually for about 5–10 minutes, before deciding it’s time to return to the couch for a cozy nap.   She also gets the occasional burst of happy zoomies around the house, showing off her silly, playful side. After a little fun, she is perfectly content relaxing by your side.   Walks and Adventures   Caviar enjoys her walks and is always excited to get out and explore. She walks nicely on leash, although she may pull a little when she gets excited about the adventure ahead. Her foster mom has been working with her, and Caviar is a quick learner — when her foster mom stops walking, Caviar stops too and checks back in.   Like many curious dogs, she loves chasing squirrels and may bark at some dogs she sees. However, she can be easily redirected and is learning appropriate ways to greet new things.   Great with Kids and Learning About the World   Caviar has done beautifully with children, including a very enthusiastic 10-year-old cousin who absolutely loves dogs. She is gentle, patient, and happy to receive affection from people she trusts.   She does need a little more confidence-building when experiencing new places and situations. Caviar is still learning that the world is safe, and unfamiliar environments can sometimes feel overwhelming for her. New flooring surfaces, busy buildings, car rides, and unfamiliar surroundings may cause her to freeze or become nervous. With patience and reassurance, she is able to move forward and gain confidence.   Her foster family has been taking her on short car rides every day, and she has already improved. She may still shake when she’s unsure, but she is proving that she is brave and capable of learning.   House Manners   Caviar is wonderfully housetrained and has not had a single accident in her foster home. She quickly learned to go outside for both potty breaks and understands the routine of the household.   She is not a fan of the crate. She tolerated it initially but made it clear that it was not her preferred sleeping arrangement. She now sleeps happily in bed with her foster family and settles beautifully.   A Little Watchdog in a Tiny Body   Caviar is not a constant barker, but she does like to let her family know when something unusual is happening. She may bark at knocks on the door, sounds outside, or unfamiliar noises. Sometimes she will give a little nighttime growl if she hears something outside, but she responds well to redirection.   The funny thing is, once she realizes the person is a friend, she immediately switches from “security guard” mode to “please give me affection” mode and happily greets visitors at the door.   Caviar’s Ideal Home   Caviar would thrive with a family who understands that confidence takes time and is willing to help her continue discovering the world at her own pace. She would love a home that can provide a predictable routine, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection.   She does not need someone to entertain her every minute — she is perfectly content relaxing on the couch — but she would love a family who enjoys having a sweet little shadow following along throughout the day.   A patient adopter who can continue building her confidence will be rewarded with one of the most loving, loyal little companions around.   Why Caviar Is So Special     Her foster family says she has one of the softest coats they have ever felt, and her beautiful non-shedding coat is just an added bonus to an already wonderful little dog.   Her favorite trick? When Caviar feels nervous — whether she’s in the car or somewhere new — she wants reassurance from her person. If her foster mom picks her up, Caviar wraps herself around her like a tiny baby monkey: back legs around her torso and front paws around her neck. She refuses to be held any other way! A friend once joked that it looked like her foster mom was carrying her third child.   Caviar knows her name and comes running whenever she hears “Princess Vivi.” She is ready to find the family who will continue showing her how wonderful life can be — and who will treasure every cuddle from this tiny princess. July 17, 2026, 10:33 pm

Hi, I'm Wiggles!  I'm about 1 year old, and I got my name because I'm one of the happiest girls around! Life hasn't always been easy. I was found as a stray with severely matted fur and painful foxtails embedded in my skin. Thankfully, some kind people helped me, and now I'm safe with Every Pet's Dream. Don't worry about my haircut. It'll grow back! My old family never came looking for me, but that's okay. My friends at Every Pet's Dream promised me a bright future, and now I'm looking for a family of my very own. If you're looking for a sweet, happy companion who will greet you with wiggles, kisses, and a wagging tail every day, I might be your girl. I may be part Havanese, Shih Tzu, or Maltese, but one thing is for sure: I'm 100% adorable and ready for my second chance. Could you be my forever family? I require regular grooming. ​ Energy Level?    Puppyish/Moderate House trained?    Yes, s he is on her way to being fully potty trained, but still may need reminders.  She either let herself out or asked to go out. Describe how they are on a leash?     Wiggles walks nicely on a leash but would benefit from continued training and exposure to new environments. She can be a little nervous around young children, so we think she'd do best in a home with adults or respectful kids ages 12 and up Describe how they are with other dogs?    Wiggles has been around lots of dogs and is still learning appropriate play and social skills. Her puppy-like enthusiasm can be a little pushy for some dogs. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?   NA Commands they know?    We're just beginning to work on basic commands. She's very puppy-like and motivated to learn.  We were practicing "lay down,"  “come,” or “come here,” and she did really well.  We could call her from across the house and say, "Come here," and she would come. What are their favorite things?    Wiggles loves cuddling with her favorite humans, playing with all kinds of toys, and going for walks to explore. What do they need to work on?   She needs basic training and manners. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?    Wiggles has been left home alone for up to six hours at a time and has done very well. She is crate-trained and settles comfortably in her crate whenever she cannot be supervised. Where do they sleep?    In her crate What is their ideal home?  Wiggles would thrive in an adult home or one with respectful children ages 12 and up. She is young, playful, and ready to learn with positive training. She loves all kinds of toys, is affectionate, and enjoys cuddling with her people. Wiggles is a sweet, happy girl who is ready to find a family to call her own.
