Havanese puppies and dogs in Hastings, Minnesota

Our Maxwell is a very happy dog. He loves to give kisses and loves to snuggle. He came to us from a puppy mill, after being with us for 2 years, he has overcome his shyness. He LOVES the dog park. He is a protector of those he loves in the most loving way. He gets along with everyone. He has a very special way to tell you when he is very happy. We call that his dog sign languages. It will make you smile every time. Unfortunately, I have got a medical diagnosis that doesn’t leave me with energy for Mr. Max. I feel that he will be a wonderful addition to any home needing an extra abundance of love.

Duffy is just 7 years old. He has a pleasant easygoing personality. He really likes to be around his people and is eager to please. Duffy never met a fleece throw that didn't require sleeping on, or a toy that didn't need a good shake! He even likes broccoli. He likes other small dogs and is curious about cats, but hasn't had them for housemates. He is a little shy at first--it takes him a minute to get comfortable with strangers, but after introductions, he is everybody's best buddy; he especially happy around older children. Toddlers are unknown territory. Duffy has managed well in our quiet household, but our mobility challenges leave us unable to give him the exercise and stimulation that he needs to really shine. He would benefit from a more active family.

I’m Isla, a sweet sensitive 1 year old 9 pound Havanese Poodle mix who is learning to navigate the world with growing confidence.  Though she can be nervous and prefers to observe from a distance, Isla is making great strides with consistent training and patience.  She thrives in a calm environment and would do best in a home with only women, as men and children startle her. I LOVE running around in the backyard, so a fenced yard is a must for me. I’m not quite leash-trained yet and tend to freeze when I’m on one, so for now, my backyard adventures are my favorite way to play and explore. Isla loves car rides and visiting the pet store to pick out a special treat. With patience, kindness, continued training and a little time, I know I can learn to trust and thrive in my forever home. If you’re looking for a pint-sized pup with a playful spirit and a love for other dogs, I might just be the perfect match for you. Let’s meet soon—I’m ready to steal your heart!   *Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Meet Dorey – the 7-year-old, 14-pound ball of sweetness who’s ready to curl up with you on the couch and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation time! As a laid-back Havipoo, Dorey is the definition of chill at home. She’s a little shy around new faces (who isn’t?), but once she gets to know you, she’s all tail wags and snuggles. Her favorite pastimes include collecting her beloved lamb chop stuffies and napping like a pro. When she’s not busy being adorable, she’s working hard on her impressive potty training skills and following directions like a champ – especially when she gets that sweet praise for being a “good girl!!” Dorey is also a fan of the simple things: Yak chews, freeze-dried chicken treats, and the occasional Pupcicle (who can blame her?). She’s a quiet little lady who only barks to alert you when something’s up, but generally, she’s all about that calm, quiet life. She’s crate trained, too, and will happily hang out in her cozy den even when the door’s open – a true independent spirit! While she’s still working on getting more comfortable with car rides (they don’t always mean fun trips, after all), she’s great on leash and loves her daily walks. Plus, she’s good with kiddos and prefers hanging out with dogs her size – so she’d be a great fit for a home with smaller, mellow pups or even as your one and only! If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle soul who’s all about relaxing and loving life with you, Dorey’s your girl!

Crate trained: Yes *****Secure Fenced Yard and Friendly Small companion dog Required***** Hey there!  I’m Annika and I’m around 3 years old.  I’m from a puppy mill, so living outside of a cage is all new to me.  It’s a pretty steep learning curve, but my foster mom says I learn something new every single day!  And even though all of the novel things in my new environment can make me anxious, my desire to learn and to experience fun definetely shines through.  I love being outside and I really love playing with other dogs. Going on walks is really exciting, and I have made huge progress adjusting to walking on a leash. Both a secure fenced yard and at least one other playful small dog in the home will be essential to my success as I continue to learn how to be a dog! I’m working on potty training and doing well.  My foster mom says I have a super sweet temperament, and there’s no doubt that as I continue to feel more safe, I will be a very affectionate and loyal companion.   If you have the patience to spend time and encourage me while I figure out this big new world, I’ll give you lots of love in return!     Adoption Fee:$695.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.INTERESTED IN MEETING ME?
