Description
Dog Breed: Havanese. Meet Avi Avi came to us after his previous owner could no longer care for him, and this sweet boy has been winning hearts ever since. He absolutely loves being around people and thrives in a home where someone is around most of the time. Because he was never left alone in his past home, he’s looking for a family who can offer him that same sense of companionship and security. Avi isn’t big on toys and can be a bit particular about his meals, but he makes up for it with his love of walks and his habit of happily following his people from room to room. He’s great with kids and does well around other dogs, though he prefers not to play with them. At his core, Avi is truly a people‑dog—gentle, loyal, and happiest when he’s by your side. Avi's adoption fee is $250, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption. Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: .acskc/adopt-1 Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!

Overview:
The Havanese, the national dog of Cuba, is a charming and intelligent toy breed known for its cheerful disposition and luxurious coat. Descending from the Bichon family, these small but sturdy dogs were brought to Cuba by Spanish colonists and developed into the affectionate companions we know today. Physically, they boast a distinctive long, silky double coat that can come in a multitude of colors and patterns, often requiring regular grooming to prevent matting. With their expressive dark eyes and plumed tail carried over their back, Havanese possess a captivating charm. Temperamentally, they are renowned for being outgoing, affectionate, and highly trainable, thriving on human companionship. This makes them excellent family pets and well-suited for apartment living, as they are adaptable and don't require extensive outdoor space. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as luxating patellas and eye conditions like cataracts, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups essential for their long-term well-being.
