Havanese and Miniature Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Monarch!

Monarch is a tiny 7-month-old sweetheart weighing just 8 lbs. This shy, reserved little girl is still learning that the world can be a safe and gentle place.

Monarch came from a home with many other dogs and less-than-ideal conditions, so she naturally finds comfort and confidence in her furry friends. Because of this, she would thrive in a patient home with other respectful animals who can help show her the ropes.

She’s still working on all the important “dog things,” including leash skills and potty training, and will need a family willing to move at her pace with kindness and understanding. With time, patience, and love, Monarch has so much potential to blossom into a devoted companion.

Monarch is required to be spayed prior to adoption.
Her spay can be sponsored for $130 here:
