Posted Breed: Havanese. We have been fostering Sweet Pea for about 7 months, she came to us as a rescue from a puppy mill and it seems she was separated from her mother way too early. Very smart, over

flowing with energy and often very very sweet, Sweet Pea has a fear of people outside our home, and a fear of new dogs. When we first got her, she bit two people who picked her up. She was trying to get away from them in fear and she turned and bit them when they insisted on picking her up. Not surprising. She hasn't bitten anyone since, but remains very tentative and fearful with strangers-she runs away and growls if you look her in the eyes. She as gotten very markedly better since we've had her. We have had a few people- dog behaviorists and a pet sitter visit and she has become relaxed and friendly with them all after about 3-4 visits. She barks sometimes and her bark is very shrill. She occasionally races around the room snarling and jumping and at first this freaked me out a bit but I spoke to a Havanese dog breeder who said this was normal puppy behavior for this breed, its their way of letting off steam. Sweet Pea definitely needs socialization,and patience, and discipline. These are the difficulties. The upside is that she is an extremely affectionate, wickedly smart, and a very very playful burst of love and puppy dog energy. She will be an amazing pet for the right person. She could be trained I think as a search and rescue dog because she can be very focused and tenacious with her toys and when she is digging, fetching, reaching for food scraps or chewing a bone. Very trainable, she learns commands quickly and is eager to please. **** Breed: Havanese **** Contact: Angela 510-859-8970 - angelap.breemagmail **** Address: Berkeley , CA, 94705

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
