Hi, I’m Sierra! I’m a 6-year-old Havanese with gorgeous white fluffy fur, beautiful light brown eyes and I weigh 15 pounds.

I like people, but I’m shy when they approach me. If you give me time to come to you, I’ll start with little drive-by kisses on your hands. As I get comfortable, you’ll get to see my full-blown smile. Yes, I’m one of those dogs who smiles! I love food and will bond with you over a good meal. That’s the real key to my heart.

I get along beautifully with other dogs and cats. I’m house trained and crate trained, too. Loud noises scare me, so I’d feel happiest in a quiet home without young children. I don’t have a mean bone in my short and squatty body; I just need people who will let me warm up at my own pace.

A fenced yard would be best for me. Passing cars still frighten me on walks, though I’m working on it. With a little patience and a peaceful place to call home, I think you’ll see my smile more and more.

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.
