This is Sienna. She is 2 and needs a home.
***Good News! Sienna has found a wonderful forever home!!
As difficult as it was to let her go (And it was VERY difficult!) I know this is the very best for my pretty girl.
Update: Sienna underwent eye surgery Feb. 7 and can see!!. The surgery was very successful. Her eyes are clear! She has to wear a “cone of shame” for 30 days. And she gets a multitude of eye drops, pills and ointments every day. And her activity is restricted for the time being. That will come to an end, likely within a month or so. But she will likely be on trwice daily drops to prevent glaucoma reappearing for the rest of her life.
Sienna just turned two years old. She is probably the sweetest, gentlest and calmest Havanese I have owned…and I have owned a lot of Havanese!
She is also very sensitive which is why it will take a very special person to adopt her. She needs a ‘mature’ home. A home that is also calm and gentle. A home where she will have someone to shadow, snuggle with and keep company most of the day.
Sienna gets along very well with other dogs and loves to play with them…so another dog in the family would not be a problem Sienna was a wonderful, attentive mother to her puppies last summer.

At 11 months old Sienna passed her eye exam with flying colors. But then, at some point in the last six months, Sienna began to develop cataracts so she is no longer a good candidate for breeding and has been spayed.
I knew nothing about canine cataracts. I still feel like I know very little. But I do know there is no test to determine if a dog is prone to cataracts. I also have learned there are many causes. Sometimes a genetic issue. But also can be caused by trauma. Sienna has 11 siblings from two litters by the same parents. And because none of the other 11 have any eye issues, I am thinking hers were brought on by trauma.
Anyway, I will not be charging an adoption fee for Sienna….just the request that she be loved and be in a home where she is not alone for more than an hour or so.
