Multiple Havanese in Northern CA Shelter!

[TAPAJ]

There are multiple purebred Havanese awaiting adoption at Sutter County Animal Control’s Shelter in Yuba City. Someone surrendered twelve (yes, TWELVE!) purebred Havanese ranging in age from (per the shelter’s rep's guess) about 6 mos to about 4 years of age. Only three of these dogs are being featured online right now because most of the others are staying with a Papillon breeder who lives near the shelter.

Havanese Rescue does not have enough foster homes in the Northern California area to bring this many dogs into the foster program right away. However, the shelter has said that they will not euthanize these dogs before HRI can somehow find them homes (most likely via direct adoption from the shelter).

PLEASE help get the word out!!! These dogs need homes. If anyone you know in the Northern California area would like to adopt a Havanese, please have them contact the shelter directly and ask for Kay. Sutter County Animal Control is located at 102 2nd St in Yuba City, and their phone number is (530) 822-7375. Here is the link to the Shelter’s website:

Links to the profiles of the three dogs featured online follow. Please remember—these are only three of the MANY adoptable Havs that were surrendered to the shelter.

Geez, I wish they had all their faces up on-line. It's easier to get a friend interested if they can see those faces! Tracy do you know anything about why these dogs were dropped at the shelter? I had contacted HRI about some other Hav mixes only a short while back and I see one of those is still there too. (Dewey) I wonder if they came from the same place?

Anyone in the Bay looking to adopt? NOW is the time!

With so many coming to the Specialty I wonder if that might be a place to announce these rescues. Seems like people are coming from all over the country that might take one home with them to try and place. Just a thought.

Christy:

I honestly don’t know much more than I already wrote. I discovered the three that are online, called the shelter for info, and then reported the situation to HRI Intake. At that point, I still thought it was only three dogs. Some folks from intake then called the shelter and spoke with a different rep (Kay) who was more forthcoming with info—which was then passed back to me. Several of us are working several different angles. Personally, I am working on getting the word out. As you said: Anyone in the Bay who is looking to adopt – NOW is the time!

Jacqui:

That is a distinct possibility and I believe already under discussion. We are hoping to get at least some of these dogs placed before it comes to that.

Thanks for posting here, Tracy. I put your announcement on my Facebook page, notified my 2 vets and local pet supply store...I think it's a good idea to inform folks at the Specialty if the pups are still around then.

Find out if I can grab the photos. If so, I'll post it on a massive real estate group I'm with. It get a lot of Google juice.

Tracy,
who do we contact if we are available to foster? It's Jackie, owned by Ollie.

I put Tracy's message on my FB page and a friend said she will call the shelter and is intending to adopt a pup...
