Story
Courtesy post: Meet Sunny! Sunny is an 8-year-old, 9-pound purebred Havanese with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and lots of energy. He's current on all vaccinations through October 2026, with his rabies vaccine valid through October 2028, and his recent veterinary exam confirmed he is in good health. Sunny has been with the same family since he was a puppy. He loves being outdoors, going for walks, soaking up the sunshine, belly rubs, cuddling, and following his favorite people around like a little shadow. Once he trusts you, he's incredibly affectionate, charming, and loves to snuggle. He's also a funny little clown who will keep you smiling. Sunny's challenges are not his fault. Due to limited socialization and changing circumstances as his elderly owner's health declined, he missed out on consistent training, exercise, and exposure to new people. He uses pee pads, has minimal obedience training, and can be vocal when he hears unfamiliar noises. Because he becomes fearful when overstimulated, especially around unfamiliar men or when being picked up while scared, Sunny has a bite history involving three incidents. The most recent resulted in puncture wounds to a family member's hands. For that reason, he needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands fearful dogs and is committed to positive reinforcement training and careful management. Sunny would thrive in a calm, predictable home with no children and ideally limited visitors. A quieter environment and an adopter who can help him build confidence will give him the best chance to succeed. While he has met another dog without issue, he has never lived with other animals, so a slow introduction would be important. Sunny is not a lost cause—far from it. He is intelligent, eager to bond, and adapts well in many situations. With patience, structure, and someone willing to see beyond his fear, Sunny has the potential to become an incredibly devoted companion.

Story
Max (Maxi) is a 7-year-old Havanese mix weighing approximately 10 pounds. This handsome little guy is house trained, crate trained, and full of personality. Max is smart, loyal, and knows several commands, including sit, paw, and down. He even waits patiently for permission before enjoying his meals. Max loves belly rubs, chin scratches, cozy naps, and carrying around his favorite toy, Bear Bear. He forms strong bonds with his people and thrives in a home that provides structure, consistency, and clear expectations. Because of his personality and attachment to his people, Max is looking for an adult-only home with an experienced dog owner. He is not a first-time dog and will do best with someone who understands that trust and relationships take time. Max can be nervous around new people and loud noises, but with patience and routine, he settles in well and becomes a devoted companion. Max has a seizure disorder that is well controlled with medication. He has been seizure-free for nearly two years and takes his medication easily. His medication costs approximately $8 per month, and he simply needs routine veterinary monitoring twice a year to ensure he continues to do well. As a Havanese mix, Max will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. Through no fault of his own, Max is looking for a new home because his owner is moving out of state and is unable to take him along. While this decision has been incredibly difficult, the hope is to find him a loving family where he can continue to thrive. Max’s adoption fee has been waived, but our adoption screening and approval process still applies. If you are looking for a smart, loyal companion with plenty of personality, Max may be the perfect fit.

Story
Meet Jackson! He's a 10-year-old Havashu (Havanese/Shih Tzu) with a very cat-like personality. He likes company on his own terms — he'll settle nearby, entertain himself, and doesn't demand much. If you want a calm, low-drama companion rather than a velcro dog, he's your match. He's healthy and in good shape for his age. Over the years he's had all but four teeth pulled — it sounds dramatic, but the dental work is done and paid for, his mouth is comfortable, and he eats regular food with no trouble at all. No ongoing medical issues, no special diet. He's available through no fault of his own: our family is growing and we can't give him the time he deserves. He'd suit a quiet home, an apartment, or anyone who'd like an easygoing companion. Neutered and up to date on vaccines. All vet records go with him.
