Zoey is filled with the enthusiasm, energy, and joy only a young Havanese a little over one year old can have. She was surrendered by a loving family who simply didn’t feel they had enough time to give this adorable girl, and only wished the very best for her. She merrily scampers throughout her foster mom’s home always with a toy in her mouth and is very happy that she has a nice variety!

A combination of Havanese and Pomeranian, he is chock full of pure puppy exuberance now that he's freed from a shut down puppy mill. He is a sweet puppy, and will ask to get in your lap for snuggles and kisses and then quickly need to get down to take care of all the many things he thinks he needs to do.

We think that once upon a time she had someone who cared for her and taught her some nice manners.

Her hair is growing back now and she seems to be getting cuter each day.
