The breeder moved out of the country and is no longer breeding dogs. Apparently this dog was part of their last litter. My contract specifies they must to be asked first if the dog needs to be rehomed. They are not taking the dog back.

I will gladly take the dog if it's a havanese. It sounds a bit odd that the breeder moved out of the country that quickly and the dog is only 3 months when they come home at 12 weeks but we'll take it as we have a havanese and would like another. How do we contact you?

The breeder is in her 60s and is originally from Puerto Rico. I wasn’t aware she was going to move and stop breeding. Would you be willing to work with a rescue to vet you?

No, I'm not willing to pay a rescue as I think most of them are scam given what they charge. We'll go back to our breeder for a second at some point. We have a great breeder and for what the rescues charge I'd rather pay slightly more and go through our breeder. You are welcome to see our home, meet our dog, and see how well cared for she is. My spouse would love a second dog.

Absolutely - not unreasonable at all. The most important thing is to find a good forever home for the pup.

I’m the poster who’s interested in adopting a brother for my dog. I’d work with a rescue

Is there a particular rescue you have in mind?

Why not find a breed specific rescue. Don't just give it to anyone.

I don't think this group does much. When we were looking I contacted them and they blew me off.

Screening usually includes checking applicants' vet records, conducting home checks to ensure the home environment is suitable, lengthy application forms, and interviewing applicants to ensure the dog will be a good fit. What type of dog is your puppy?

Havanese

PP here. As you can see, there will be no shortage of takers for your dog. I have fostered small dogs exclusively for 10+ years and know firsthand that young, small-breed dogs are highly sought after. Havanese are quite rare in rescue so even more desirable. Given the great demand for this type of dog, please don't just give your dog away--consider a rescue for their vetting process and experience placing dogs.

I’m just not giving the dog the attention and affection he deserves. I would never bring a dog to the shelter and I am not able to give the dog back to the breeder. What’s the most responsible way to rehome the dog? I have no issue keeping and caring for the dog until a family is found.

Should have thought of that before you hired a breeder. There are too many animals to care for already. Can't charm your way out of the damage you've done.

This sounds 100% fake. The breeder placed all the dogs and packed up and moved away that quickly? And, several of us have said that we'd take the dog. If it's not aggressive and they can provide paperwork, I'd take it right now.

If it's for real, this breed needs a lot of attention and hates being left alone. They are very demanding, to put it nicely so I could see how it wouldn't work for someone but most people look and see they are cute and that's it.

You seem happy with the first and are willing to go back for a second I figured it was a pretty good breeder....

This is OP. Someone has hijacked this post and posted pictures. I have not. I’m going to speak to a rescue Monday and see about working with them to find the dog a home. Someone should report the photos.
