So that you know, Havanese are very high maintenance. Ours is a very picky eater, wants to be with someone at all times, hates being home alone and freaks out after a few hours, wants to go everywhere with us. It's the sweetest thing ever, but its life changing.
OMG! Our Havi has been gone 2 years now and we still talk how freaking picky he was about his food!
Mine is only not picky when it comes off my plate (not anyone elses, even if we are all eating the same thing). She'll only eat kibble if we starve her. Otherwise I have to make custom food - some I batch cook and freeze in ice cube trays and other stuff I make fresh. And, I have to cook it - she will rarely eat it if anyone else cooks it. And, everything has to have cheese on top.

Rescues are in the business of saving dogs. It seems kind of offensive that OP would go to a rescue and want to "foster" only if a purebred Havanese came through, in order to "try it out." I get that there are allergies here, but this isn't the way to go about this.
I do have a toy poodle adopted through rescue, but she was a puppy mill rescue and a very sad mess that needed a lot of rehabilitation. Clearly not what OP is up for. And I was able to adopt that dog because I'd been fostering with the rescue for quite a while prior to that.
