Sponsored by Elaine Bombay – In memory of Maizy so that another family can know the love and joy of welcoming a rescue dog into their home.

Becca is a sweet, gentle 5-year-old Havanese who weighs about 15lbs. This little retired mama came from a puppy mill in Ohio and is now discovering what it means to be a loved family dog.

Becca is shy and easily startled, especially when meeting new people or experiencing new things, but she is making wonderful progress everyday. With patience and time, she is beginning to show her sweet personality and let her humans into her world.

She is learning to enjoy walks, loves relaxing and rolling in the grass, and finds comfort in cozy little spaces. She isn’t a big cuddler, but she loves staying close to her people and will happily cling to you when she needs reassurance.
Becca is still working on housetraining, large stairs, car rides, and trusting the humans around her. She may experience some separation anxiety while left alone, but this is the only time she will bark. She prefers to feel more secure in a small plastic kennel over a big metal crate as they make her more nervous. She has done well with young children but needs calm, gentle interactions and people who understand that she needs to approach things at her own pace.
Becca has previously done well with other small dogs and seems to gain confidence from having a canine friend around, so another friendly dog in her forever home would be a wonderful bonus. A fenced yard would also be ideal for this little grass-loving girl!

Becca isn’t looking for a home that expects her to blossom overnight. She’s looking for someone who will give her patience, security, and lots of love while she learns that she is safe.
With the right family, we know this sweet little girl has so much love and potential to give.
Could you be the one to help Becca discover her true colours and give her a furever home?
