About Chacha
Chacha is an approximately 8-year-old Havanese, weighing about 11 lbs, just learning what life outside the confines of breeding is really like. Mishandling in her past means she still moves through the world cautiously, but she has remained gentle through it all—never showing aggression, even in her most nervous moments. She’s a quiet soul who only asks for patience and understanding from the humans around her. Slow, calm movements help Chacha feel secure, especially when she needs to be picked up or handled. Kennel training is going well, and though she’s still working on house training, she’s eager to please and truly comes alive for pulled chicken treats, gently accepting them from your hand. Time and steady encouragement are making a difference; each week brings new confidence as she learns to trust. Chacha genuinely does best with other calm, well-adjusted dogs and will benefit from a canine companion to guide her. She loves outdoor time in a safe yard—sniffing, exploring, and discovering the freedom of simply being a dog. Her foster believes a quiet home without children is best. A securely fenced yard attached to the home is required so she can safely experience the world at her own pace. Chacha isn’t an instant companion, but if you’re searching for a dog whose trust you can truly earn, she’s worth the patience. She’s been fully vetted, her teeth are freshly cleaned, and she is ready for the comfort she’s always been denied. Let’s make her next years her happiest. Ready to meet your new best friend?
