Meet Essie, a sweet 11-year-old Havanese looking for a peaceful home to enjoy her golden years. Weighing around 12 pounds, Essie became available for adoption after her owner moved to a nursing facility, leaving her in need of a loving environment. Essie is the quintessential couch potato, thriving in calm surroundings. She is independent, quiet, and fully potty trained, making her an ideal companion for someone seeking a lap dog. While she knows commands like sit and stay, she prefers a predictable daily routine where she feels secure. Though she may be timid at first around new people, she warms up nicely with patience. Her ideal home would have no children and ideally one or two adult caregivers. Essie does well with other dogs and is okay with cats, but she needs a fenced yard to roam safely. This lovely senior girl seeks companionship that matches her lifestyle: quiet and settled. Essie has been spayed and is up-to-date on vaccinations through October 2026. Essie deserves the best for her golden years, and with your love and support, she can flourish. Ready to make this gentle girl a part of your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
