I hope Havanese Rescue can help this little guy. These things break my heart. I'll pray for him.

Any time I've tried to contact Havanese Rescue through their website (when Milo was missing - twice), I got such a runaround on the site that I gave up. Their system stinks. I really hope someone helps this little one before it's too late.

There are a number of people on the forum very involved with rescue. If they don't weigh in tonight, I'll pm them.

I'm thrilled for him. The cavalry is coming. I hope he gets the future he deserves.

Hi, Renee:

I went looking on the downey shleter website and found what may be a female Havanese mis-identified as a Tibetan Terrier. She look a lot like my black and white Havanese boy,

Her impound number is A4262505, impounded on 4/12/2011!

This is the link to this dog: http://animalcare.lacounty.gov/AdoptDetails.asp?AnimalID=A4262505

Would you please send this information to your Havanese Rescue contact?

There may be more but I have to step away from my computer for now.

I am also in NorCal and cannot get to LA to spring these dogs.

thank you for helping with this.

Starr, Buffy and Buster's Mom

I have not posted the female anywhere but on this thread yet. Has the male been reported on the HRI website yet?

I did check on her status, and she is still listed as being in the shelter, although on Petfinder she is being called Lulu. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/19239462

It is always possible that she is actually a Tibetan Terrier, but she sure has the look of a Havie.

I can go ahead and report Lulu to HRI tomorrow when I am more awake and can make sure I fill out any forms properly.

I don't know if there is a comments field where I can let HRI know that there is a NorCal foster family available if transport can be arranged. I'll do my best.

Thanks.

Here is the reply from HRI:

"Hi Starr - Thanks for letting us know. I've already checked on this dog, and she has already been spoken for by another rescue group, who are planning on picking her up. She is safe for now.

This is good news! Will you be sure to pass the word along to those who are concerned?

Thanks -
Jane Hohne, HRI"


Hooray!!
