Havanese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Vancouver, British Columbia

Meet Linus - Our Sweet Senior (Bonded to Chester ❤️)

Linus is a 13‐year‐old Havanese-Poodle mix with a heart as soft as his fluffy curls. Don't let his age fool you-this charming little gentleman still has plenty of pep in his step and loves being part of whatever his people are doing. He's especially happy when he's with his best friend Chester, to whom he is deeply bonded. They must be adopted together, and trust us-two times the love is absolutely worth it.

Linus has several health conditions that require ongoing monitoring and routine veterinary checkups. He'll need adopters who can stay on top of his care and work closely with their vet to keep him comfortable and thriving.

He's gentle, affectionate, and happiest snuggled up beside you or exploring at his own relaxed pace. Linus and Chester make a wonderful duo-sweet, loyal, and full of personality. They're looking for a calm, loving home where they can spend their golden years surrounded by warmth and kindness.

If you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for two senior sweethearts, Linus and Chester just might be your perfect match. ❤️

Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. You can also submit an application online if I am in foster or you would like to save some time when you come visit. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.

They thrive on human companionship, excel in obedience training, and are often described as "velcro dogs" for their tendency to stick close to their owners. With a distinctive springy gait and a friendly disposition, the Havanese is an ideal choice for families seeking a loving and loyal canine companion.

The Poodle is a highly intelligent and elegant dog breed known for its distinctive curly coat and graceful appearance.
