Rehoming Support The aim of rehoming co-ordination and facilitation is to match those who need to re-home their Havanese due to change in circumstances with those who can provide a loving home for this very special breed of dog. At all times, the aim is to ensure the well-being of our beloved Havanese is respected. In all instances, interested parties will be required to share a basic level of information information (age, condition, health, vaccinations, temperament etc) with the Rehoming Coordinator, so that re-homing can be facilitated effectively.
