Adoption Application

Please read this first. Occasionally, potential adopters provide foster care for a rescue dog before the adoption is finalized. This gives everyone time to see if the dog is a good match for the family. Due to this, we ask that you complete all sections of this application, even if you don't plan to become a regular volunteer for Havanese Rescue. Thank you! If you are interested in volunteering with HRI, please register as a volunteer. NOTE: You will be asked to provide the names and phone numbers for FOUR personal references and one veterinary reference. Please collect that information prior to beginning the application. If you find that your computer is not cooperating, you may request that a paper Adoption Application be sent to you. Please email us HERE to send your address.
