How to know if your Havanese was a rescued dog?

Ann | November 8th, 2009

Havanese owners are fond of this toy dog for several reasons: being a toy dog, some may think of them as fragile but the Havanese doesn’t give that impression. They have a sturdy build and are not fragile. Their uniqueness comes from their silky long coats that are beautiful to the eyes and touch. Sadly, thousands of dog breeds are abandoned, abused, or given to shelters due to unforeseen circumstances.

If you were given a Havanese as a gift and notice something odd, there may be a chance that it was from a rescue group. These dogs are normally playful, friendly and very good with children. They are not known to be shy. If your Havanese seems withdrawn, afraid or even threatened by people, it could be an indicator of neglect in the past.

You should consult someone immediately for assistance. Dog rescue groups do their best to restore a dog’s well being but sometimes their reach into the dog’s past may also be difficult and comes up incomplete.
