Our dogs come from a variety of sources. Most dogs come to us directly as owner surrenders, some come from shelters or animal control as strays, while others are left there by owners. Other times dogs come from a puppy mill that has closed or is no longer interested in the breed or the dog in question.

HRI is a very pro-active group. We work hard to rehabilitate, evaluate and re-home our Havs in rescue. We are the advocates for our dogs, with our focus on the health, welfare and happiness of the dogs we serve.

 

There are many blessings for people as well. Sometimes it's watching a family discover a new family member. Other times it's helping someone who must give up a beloved family member because of a change in his or her life circumstances. People benefit because the attention is given to do the right thing for the Havanese in question.

Changing lives ... one Havanese at a time.
