HRI tries very hard not to ship dogs. Shipping dogs, especially rescue dogs, can be very traumatic and also costly. If you are interested in adopting a dog that's located in another state, you generally must be willing to travel to that area to pick up the dog.

If you're not able/willing to do that, you will need to wait until a suitable dog is available in your area.

HRI is here for the dogs that don't have anyone else to be there for them. A dog from (or with) a breeder has them as their back up.

When HRI is informed about a dog in need of rescue, we contact breeders if we're able to determine who they are. A responsible breeder is interested in their Havanese and frequently wants their dog back. Other times they work with HRI to support the dog until HRI finds a home that is able to care for them.
