Rue is the biggest (relatively) of the litter, and she knows it. She's confident and will get what she wants, which is all the attention and all the love. She's often the center of a wrestling match or cuddle puddle and is more than happy to climb into a lap or a pile of toys. Rue is a well balanced pup that will thrive in any loving home.
This fluffy family was born into rescue to a Shih Tzu mama and Havanese dad who are both with Healing Hearts and who both have lovely, social personalities. They have been raised with dogs ranging from 9 to 90 pounds, cats, and respectful kids, and are comfortable with all of them. They have been introduced to potty pads, as they are too little to deal with the current weather outside, and are learning quickly. These beauties will be amazing companions and will be ready to go to their forever homes on February 6th, when they turn 8 weeks old.
