At the Havanese Angel League Organization for Rescue (HALO), we are dedicated to the survival and care of Havanese. These Havs come from puppy mill auctions and some owner surrenders . Our goal is to save one Havanese at a time and insure it has a safe and happy home. We will endeavor to rescue any Havanese discovered in intolerable conditions. We will closely monitor shelters, via the internet or word of mouth, dog auctions whether leading to placement in puppy mills or not, and pet store sightings throughout the country for our mission is a National one. We will inform people of this wonderful breed at public functions, expose the evilness of puppy mills and their supply to pet stores and will take great pains to place the Havanese in the best environment through diligent reference checking prior to placement and follow-up after placement. Our rescue group is different from the majority of rescues. We have to find our Havanese,internet searches, through auctions or occasionally an owner surrender. Once we find one, then we have to buy the dog. If you've been looking for a Havanese from a reputable breeder, you have learned this breed is expensive. We have gone to Missouri and Ohio to buy our dog at auctions. Our volunteers give their entire weekend traveling to auctions, paying all of their own expense of gas, motels and food. If we are lucky enough to obtain a dog, he/she goes to the vet for a check-up. If we are fortunate to buy a puppy or young dog at auction, we will may pay more than our adoption fee. We my have a financial loss when we rescue a Havanese but it is okay because our goal is to save one Havanese at a time and get them out of a puppy mill situation. We feel strongly that getting a Havanese out of a puppy mill and ultimately having it spayed/neutered is saving unborn puppies from a puppy mill life. The unique nature of this breed almost demands that it live with humans because they really think they are four-legged humans. If you are lucky enough to know a Hav or own one, you know this is true. A Havanese living in a mill is torture because that dog will never experience the love and kindness of being with a family and a family will never experience the love and joy of owning a Hav.
