This adorable girl was purchased from a breeder and surrendered because of a change to her owner's work schedule. Murphy is a wonderful little companion who gets along great with other dogs and would love having a family who can give her the time, attention, and companionship she needs.      If you’ve been looking for a sweet little Havanese to add some extra love to your life, Murphy may just be your girl.  Apply today and don't let this one get away! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.           Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets. Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/  or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.org.Sponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/.

Story
Hi, I'm Max and I hail from Texas. Just to let you know, if you've ever heard the phrase "age is just a number", well, it is definitely true. While I am a senior gentleman, I am definitely medium energy and would enjoy a good long walk or two a day (or a nice yard to play in). I walk well on leash (except when I see another dog, I will pull hard), am housetrained, and don't mind my crate. In general, I am friendly with people once I get to know them, but on my own terms. I am not a fan of cats - I will bark and chase them. Btw, I am not a barker in general and my foster recently discovered that I I really enjoy watching TV! My ideal home would be with people who are willing to understand that I am set in my ways as a senior and want a loyal companion. I am leash reactive to other dogs, but possibly could get along with the right dog match. Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee covers; please consider making a tax-deductible donation by visiting us at https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor. Donations help us offset vetting, boarding costs, and additional medical treatments for dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at: hattonanimalrescue.org.

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
Looking for love? Javier (Javi), is a sweet 9 year old 14.4lb purebred Havanese who is hoping to find his new person to love. Javi enjoys living life at a slower pace. He dreams of a soft bed, a peaceful home, short walks, and a person who will love him. His favorite place is wherever his person is. He’ll happily follow you from room to room and curl up nearby.Javi is house and crate trained, does well on leash, and is incredibly loving. He can be a little anxious at times, so he’ll need someone patient who will give him time to feel safe and comfortable in his new home.Javi does have resource-guarding tendencies and may guard food, water, toys, his crate, or his person. So far, this behavior has only been observed around dogs and young children. Although Javi grew up with two dogs, he would ultimately do best as the only pet in an adult-only home, where he won’t have to compete for resources or attention.If you’re looking for a devoted little companion, Javi may be your perfect match!
