Havanese Dogs Available for Adoption

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying. Thank you for your cooperation.
NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

NEW INTAKE 2/7/2026: Truffles - female - 5/2/2020 - 19.2 pounds - Havanese

Reason for intake: Truffles came to us as an owner-surrender. The family only had her for four months after getting her as a retired breeder dog. Truffles did not understand the energy of their adult autistic son and would growl at him. Understandably, they felt the best thing to do was to surrender Truffles before something happened. Truffles was well-cared for and really the only thing we needed to do was microchip her. We'll be posting her for adoption soon along with all the information we've been told about her. Stay tuned!

NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS: Many dogs, particularly breeder, hoarder or senior dogs, can have multiple medical issues that need addressed. Additionally, sometimes we take in young puppies requiring multiple vaccinations and/or quarantining. In this particular case, we are not yet taking applications either due to age or possible illness or some other reason. We will post when s(he) is ready for adoption. In the interest of fairness, EARLY application submissions will NOT be considered. Please note... we cannot respond to messages/emails, etc., on dogs that are NOT yet available for adoption. Please wait until the dog is available for adoption. We will post him or her on Facebook in our Adoptable Dog Album pinned to the top of our page which you can follow at this link: https://www.facebook.com/share/1B46skRWF5/ OR you can keep checking our website at www.roadtorescuela.org. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Be responsible ~ Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life. Blessings.

The Havanese is a charming toy breed known for its lively and affectionate nature. Originating from Cuba, this small dog is characterized by its long, flowing coat, playful personality, and intelligence. Havanese dogs are adaptable to various living environments, making them well suited companions for both city dwellers and suburban families. 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.
