10 Year Old Havanese with only Love to Give!
Sweet puppy who just wants to cuddle, nap, go for walks, or earn treats available for immediate adoption. She is a healthy nine to ten pound Havanese that loves humans, especially women and kids. She still has pep in her step and jumps up and down from furniture with ease. While she refrains from barking most of the time, she still is very communicative and lets you know what she wants.
She would thrive with a busy household or someone that will take her everywhere. When she cannot come with and no family members are available, doggy daycare and dog sitters will be necessary. She not only loves human contact, she craves it.
