About Haven

Haven is a spirited little girl, often likened to an energizer bunny. Just two months old, she’s already brimming with curiosity and enthusiasm. Born on August 12, 2026, she’s had a taste of outdoor life and is gradually learning what it means to play outside on grass. This Yorkshire Terrier mix has a striking white and black coat, with distinctive black accents around her ears and tail. Beyond her playful nature, she enjoys her kibble over wet food and has a soft spot for toys of all sizes, even embracing simple items like plastic bottles—just without the choking hazards. While she’s friendly and has played well with other small dogs, it's important to note she isn’t suited for homes with small children due to her delicate size. Potential adopters should be prepared for her adventurous spirit; a secure fence is a must to keep her safe. Haven will need some time to adjust if she transitions to a home without her sister by her side, but she’s ready to bring joy and energy into the right family.
