Havanese puppies and dogs in Boulder, Colorado

Meet Cricket, a beautiful six-pound Havanese puppy born April 2, 2026, and rescued from the commercial pet trade. Cricket is an affectionate, playful little explorer who wakes up ready for adventure—and morning cuddles are nonnegotiable. She loves being picked up, giving kisses, playing with her foster siblings, and investigating everything happening around her. She plays until she collapses into a furry little puddle, naps, and then gets right back to the important business of being Cricket. Her daily mission is to inspect the toy box and determine whether anything new has appeared. She loves crinkle toys, stuffies, squeaky toys, chase, and tug. This clever girl has mastered the snuffle ball, is working on Level 2 and Level 3 puzzles, easily navigates stairs, and is learning “sit.” Cricket is making great progress with potty training. She generally goes outside when taken regularly and seeks out a potty pad when she cannot get outdoors. She does well with small, older, male, and female dogs and would enjoy having a similar-sized canine companion and playmate. Cricket has also done very well with a considerate eight-year-old. Her experience with very young children, large dogs, and cats is unknown. Cricket does not shed, but her fluffy coat will require regular professional grooming. You MUST visit www.pawsitiverestorations.com to read Cricket’s complete adoption information and submit an adoption application through our website. Inquiries made elsewhere are not an application.

Meet Janet! ❤️ Janet is a beautiful Havanese puppy born on March 19, 2026, who was rescued from the commercial pet trade and is now discovering what it means to be loved. This sweet, non-shedding little girl is gentle, affectionate, playful, and incredibly smart. She enjoys enrichment puzzles, loves toys, happily plays with her foster siblings, and when she's ready for cuddles, she'll happily burrow into your lap for kisses and tummy rubs. Janet is making excellent progress with potty training, is learning "sit," confidently uses stairs, and has done wonderfully with a considerate 8-year-old child, adults, elderly people, and other small and older dogs. Her only weakness? Give her an almost-empty yogurt cup and she'll proudly decorate her adorable little face while making sure every last bite disappears.

Ella is a tiny Havanese puppy born April 13, 2026, and currently weighs just 5.2 pounds. She was rescued from the commercial pet trade and has spent the past several weeks being cherished by a loving foster family while discovering everything life can offer a bright, curious puppy. Ella is playful, affectionate, intelligent, and hilariously confident. Despite being the smallest of her foster siblings, she happily takes on all challengers and frequently wins. When called, she prances or bounds toward her people with excitement, often with her tiny pink tongue peeking out. She loves small stuffies, crinkle toys, ball-pit adventures, snuffle mats, snuffle balls, and enrichment puzzles. Ella is already completing Level 2 and Level 3 puzzles and has mastered stairs. She is currently working on “sit.” When Ella is ready for affection, subtlety leaves the building. She rolls onto her back, lifts her tummy toward the nearest human, and waves her little paws in the air until somebody provides the requested service. She loves being picked up, gives kisses freely, and enjoys cuddling with her foster family. Ella is doing well with potty training. She generally goes outside when taken out regularly and will seek out a potty pad when she cannot get outdoors. She has done well with a considerate eight-year-old child, elderly adults, men, women, and small dogs. Her experience with very young children, large dogs, and cats is unknown. Because Ella is a fragile little girl with very little fear, she would do best with older, considerate children and possibly a gentle dog of a similar size. To learn more about Ella or apply to adopt her, you MUST visit www.pawsitiverestorations.com. Applications must be submitted directly through the Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue website. Inquiries or messages sent through Petfinder are not adoption applications.

Meet Charlie Nine Years Young and Still Ready for Adventure—Charlie Is Looking for His Forever Home ❤️ Breed: Poodle Mix Gender: Male | Age: 8/12/2017 | Weight/Size: 12 lbs (Small) Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Cats unknown | Kids ✔️ | Very Friendly with Everyone Medical: Vaccination Status: Not Provided | Neuter Status: Not Provided | Microchip Status: Not Provided Special Home Requirement: Charlie needs a home with a secure yard Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue provides safe transportation to approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Charlie's Story Charlie may be nine years old, but don't tell him he's supposed to be a senior! This happy little guy is active, outgoing, and full of life, with plenty of adventures still ahead of him. Charlie came to rescue after being surrendered by his previous owner. After spending years knowing the comfort of a home, suddenly having his life change was understandably a major transition. Through no fault of his own, Charlie now finds himself searching for a new family at a time in his life when he deserves stability more than ever. Fortunately, Charlie hasn't let this change his wonderful outlook on life. He is an exceptionally friendly, social, and affectionate dog who enjoys meeting just about everyone. Charlie loves attention and companionship and is happiest when he's included in whatever his people are doing. He has the confidence of a mature dog but still has an energetic, playful side that keeps life interesting. Charlie especially enjoys being outside, exploring, playing, and having room to move around. A secure yard is important for Charlie's future home, giving this active little guy a safe place to enjoy the outdoors in addition to his regular walks and family activities. At the end of an active day, Charlie is just as happy settling down with his people and enjoying some affection. He offers a wonderful balance for someone who wants a smaller dog but isn't necessarily looking for a couch potato. As a Poodle Mix, Charlie is intelligent, people-oriented, and eager to interact with his family. Poodles are known for being exceptionally smart and trainable dogs that enjoy both physical activity and mental stimulation. Even as an older adult, Charlie will benefit from opportunities to explore, learn, and stay engaged. Charlie would thrive with a family that can provide: A securely fenced yard Daily walks and regular outdoor time Plenty of companionship and affection Interactive toys and mental enrichment Positive reinforcement training A predictable daily routine Regular grooming and coat maintenance A safe indoor home where he's part of the family A lifelong commitment through his senior years Charlie has already lost one home. What he needs now isn't a temporary place to stay—he needs a family ready to make sure his next home is truly forever. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Charlie has the advantage of being a mature adult dog, but moving into a new home is still a significant adjustment. Even dogs who have previously lived with families need time to understand their new surroundings, routines, and expectations. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand his new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in and feel that he's truly home At nine years old, Charlie is still active and should continue receiving regular physical and mental stimulation. A yard will give him a wonderful place to explore and enjoy himself, but it shouldn't replace walks and activities with his family. Charlie will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Daily walks and outdoor exploration Consistent household routines Interactive toys and enrichment Plenty of family interaction Patience as he adjusts to his new home With stability and affection, Charlie should have no trouble showing his new family just how much love this little guy still has to give. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care At nine years old, Charlie is entering his senior years, making consistent preventative veterinary care especially important. His adopter should be prepared to provide: Regular veterinary wellness examinations Senior bloodwork and health screenings as recommended by his veterinarian Routine vaccinations Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental examinations and dental care A nutritious diet appropriate for his age and activity level Daily exercise to help maintain mobility and a healthy weight Regular professional grooming and at-home coat maintenance Mental stimulation and enrichment Veterinary care whenever illness or injury occurs A safe, comfortable indoor home Poodle mixes require regular grooming to prevent uncomfortable matting. His future family should be prepared for brushing at home and professional grooming approximately every 6–8 weeks, depending on his coat.
