Available Data for Havanese Rescue
- 01/10/2011
There are many people who love the Havanese breed and if you are one of them and have also some patience, then a Havanese rescue or adoption centre may be the best place to start searching. Each year, thousands of dogs are placed in a network of different animal shelters across the country for a variety of reasons. We cannot know what the reasons are why so many owners give up their pets. Some shelter animals are adopted by families but some are not. If you are interested in rescuing a Havanese and adopting, here are some things you need to know.
How Many Dogs Are in Shelters?
The bad news for the Havanese lovers is that few dogs can be found in rescue shelters. Firstly, there is a small number of Havanese dogs on the market, as compared with the number of dogs from other breeds. The total number of Havanese dogs also depends on the costs involved for purchasing and taking good care of a dog of this breed. Giving up a Havanese is a costly proposition.
Since the numbers are low, many shelters that specialise in Havanese have a waiting list for the dogs. The volunteers who work in such shelters will offer you as much information about the dog as they have, and will also want to know about you and the potential new house of their dogs, just like a breeder would do. There will be some small adoption fees, as the activity of these shelters needs to be sustained in order to continue. If you know what tare the most common mistakes when it comes to Havanese rescue or adoption you will be able to avoid them. Check out the Internet for some Havanese rescue organisations or talk with your vet or local kennel club to find out more about Havanese rescue in your area.
Possible Problems
One big drawback with shelter animals is that you will more than likely have an incomplete history of the animal's behaviour or of any possible medical issues that may arise with the animal. If the dogs have been released at the shelter by the owners, you can get some information about them, but if they have been rescued or abandoned, there may be no information, but their general health status. No data are available about the history of abandoned dogs.
Some of these Havanese dogs have been abused or neglected by their owners, and their behaviour may be affected for long time. Such abused dogs can act aggressive towards people or, on the opposite, act withdrawn or fearful. While these dogs are small, if you have young children in your home a bite to the child's face from a Havanese could cause a serious and painful injury. There is special training for correcting this type of behaviour problems, and you must observe constantly the behaviour of such dogs when they are in the presence of new people. Ask the shelter workers about their observations too.
There are some common mistakes when it comes to Havanese rescue or adoption. There should be Havanese rescue organisations in your area. You will find no information about the history of abandoned or lost dogs.
