Description
Dog Breed: Havanese / Shih Tzu / Mixed. Hi, I'm Wiggles! I'm about 1 year old, and I got my name because I'm one of the happiest girls around! Life hasn't always been easy. I was found as a stray with severely matted fur and painful foxtails embedded in my skin. Thankfully, some kind people helped me, and now I'm safe with Every Pet's Dream. Don't worry about my haircut. It'll grow back! My old family never came looking for me, but that's okay. My friends at Every Pet's Dream promised me a bright future, and now I'm looking for a family of my very own. If you're looking for a sweet, happy companion who will greet you with wiggles, kisses, and a wagging tail every day, I might be your girl. I may be part Havanese, Shih Tzu, or Maltese, but one thing is for sure: I'm 100% adorable and ready for my second chance. Could you be my forever family? I require regular grooming. Energy Level? Puppyish/Moderate House trained? Yes, s he is on her way to being fully potty trained, but still may need reminders. She either let herself out or asked to go out. Describe how they are on a leash? Wiggles walks nicely on a leash but would benefit from continued training and exposure to new environments. She can be a little nervous around young children, so we think she'd do best in a home with adults or respectful kids ages 12 and up Describe how they are with other dogs? Wiggles has been around lots of dogs and is still learning appropriate play and social skills. Her puppy-like enthusiasm can be a little pushy for some dogs. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? NA Commands they know? We're just beginning to work on basic commands. She's very puppy-like and motivated to learn. We were practicing "lay down," “come,” or “come here,” and she did really well. We could call her from across the house and say, "Come here," and she would come. What are their favorite things? Wiggles loves cuddling with her favorite humans, playing with all kinds of toys, and going for walks to explore. What do they need to work on? She needs basic training and manners. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Wiggles has been left home alone for up to six hours at a time and has done very well. She is crate-trained and settles comfortably in her crate whenever she cannot be supervised. Where do they sleep? In her crate What is their ideal home? Wiggles would thrive in an adult home or one with respectful children ages 12 and up. She is young, playful, and ready to learn with positive training. She loves all kinds of toys, is affectionate, and enjoys cuddling with her people. Wiggles is a sweet, happy girl who is ready to find a family to call her own. The Adoption fee is $325.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Havashu is an adorable and increasingly popular hybrid, a delightful cross between the gentle Havanese and the charming Shih Tzu. Originating from designer breed efforts to combine the best traits of both parents, these small companions typically inherit a soft, wavy to curly coat that can come in a vast array of colors and patterns, often requiring regular grooming to prevent matting. Physically, they are compact and sturdy, usually weighing between 7-15 pounds. Temperamentally, Havashus are known for being affectionate, playful, and intelligent, making them highly trainable and eager to please. Their loving nature makes them excellent family pets and their adaptability suits them well for apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. While generally robust, potential health considerations can include conditions common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, eye conditions, and respiratory issues, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups for a long, healthy life.
