Havanese puppies and dogs in Kenmore, Washington

Bas is like a fluffy marshmallow! He is very relaxed and loves to be snuggled while he sleeps. His silky coat and sweet face make everyone fall in love with him. He loves playtime but is easily calmed and loves nothing more than nap time after chasing a ball and chewing a bone. He is very patient with children. He enjoys other dogs but also gives them plenty of space to let them approach him. He is going to make a wonderful addition to his forever family! -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Oliver is just the sweetest little boy! We can tell life hasn't been the best for this sweet shy pup up to now, but we can change all that! Oliver came into the rescue with his "brother" Charles, and initially they relied on each other for comfort and protection. Now in foster care, both pups are blossoming! Oliver was said to be a Chihuahua....so maybe Chi-Poo? Maltese-Chi? Who knows but he pretty white coat makes him a handsome little fella. Oliver will see our vet this week for vaccinations and Microchip and will be neutered soon. He can go to his forever home now and return for his neuter appointment - no need to wait for this little man to join your family!

Meet Grace! This little cutie pie is around 7-8 months old and she is just darling. We're not sure exactly what her breed mix is. She looks like a Havanese mixed with some other mystery breeds. She is fluffy, medium is size and super fun.  Grace was nervous when she first arrived with us. She was found behind a dumpster so clearly her early life was not great. We kept her in her foster home for some time to help her gain confidence and decompress. She is doing wonderfully. She is a friendly girl with all people and gets along well with other dogs. She needs a bit of training in the basics, but that is to be expected in a puppy. She's working on leash training and can be a bit reactive - nothing too terrible and mostly driven by her lack of confidence out in the real world. She is learning quickly and does very well with some good guidance.  Grace needs a home with a yard. Another dog in the home will be best for her - a confident friend who will continue to set a good example for her. She will do best in a home without young children. Kids over 10 are ok. Grace is vaccinated and microchipped, and will be spayed as part of her adoption fee when she is between 8-12 months. Her adoption fee is $525 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Chocolate once had a home but we cannot say it was a loving one. Chocolate was dumped by her owner because they allowed a massive mass the size of a baseball to get bigger on her stomach and did not want to treat her so they abandoned her as if she was rubbish. It is also believed that they had kept her caged for a very long period of time. Working with one of our truly devoted, dedicated and absolutely outstanding Chinese rescuers she rescued Chocolate and gave her the chance to have a wonderful life. The mass was removed along with the full chain & the mass was tested & it was benign. We believe every sweet soul such as Chocolate and her friends deserves to be loved and cherished and given the chance to have a wonderful life. Now Chocolate is looking for a special family to cherish her and be patient with her and remember what this beautiful soul has been through and a family that meets all her needs. Chocolate was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends and just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in and day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. Chocolate was bought back to the USA where she is now a US citizen and is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home. Chocolate deserves nothing but the best. She is so unique in the fact she will go do her own thing but then loves dogs at the same time and it’s just whatever she wants to do. She is the most beautiful soul and loves hard when people love her. She now sits there and stares at her foster mum with so much love. She knows her world is so very different. Her foster mum said she is such a good girl and up for anything and comes when she calls her and gets so excited at times, ie when it’s time to get up, dinner time, going for adventures. Sometimes she can be the fun police her foster mum said if a dog is doing something they shouldn’t be and she will let them know. Originally with her original rescuers they let us know she would only eat meat and nothing else. Since day one with us, she had devoured her homemade food and is absolutely obsessed with it. She radiates gratitude. She just wants you to love her and she will love you back. She adores being hugged and held because the reality is we are the first real people in her life to show her such true love and affection. She is a really smart girl too because on the day of arrival in her foster home she taught herself to run up hardwood stairs and follow her foster mum. She will also let you know when she wants something. When she finds people who love her they become her world. She is a loving girl who gets so excited every time she sees her foster mum along with her foster dad. She loves to run and play with her foster siblings and must go to a home with another dog who will be company for her. She loves a good outfit and will get ready for you to put one on her. Chocolate eats a clean diet, meaning raw fruits, raw vegetables, 70 % raw proteins, grains, fats and supplements. She also enjoys collagen sticks and bully sticks. All of her treats are homemade and Chocolate has put on weight since being in her loving foster home and eating this way. Chocolate has been taught to walk on harness & leash & has been doing wonderful. She would need continued work walking on her harness & leash. Chocolate is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Chocolate adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming her, baths, the hairdryer she loves it all. She also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Chocolate & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. So far she has not started showing interest in toys in her foster home. Chocolate has learnt to ride in the car and does well in the car and enjoys a good car ride. She is such an amazing, loving little lady. With Chocolate we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this girl.

Holly is a sweet girl that needs a home with a little time for her. One of her owners recently passed away and the other is overwhelmed by the loss. Her house sister has found her forever home, so Holly is going through some stress right now. She needs some love and patience as she begins this new chapter in her life. She recently had kidney stones which has resolved, so she needs a specific food and access to water and frequent visits outside.
