Adopting a Havanese in Manitoba
Havanese are rare in Manitoba rescue. Most are placed through national breed-specific rescue networks (Havanese Fanciers of Canada Rescue is the national organisation). When one does enter Winnipeg Humane Society or Manitoba Mutts intake, applications close within days.
A small companion breed well-suited to Winnipeg apartment living
Havanese are 7 to 13 lbs, content with two short walks daily, friendly with everyone (the breed is genuinely one of the most consistently sociable small breeds), and well-suited to apartment and condo living. They thrive on company and develop separation anxiety if left alone long hours.
Coat care and Manitoba climate
The long silky coat needs daily brushing or it mats quickly. Most owners keep the dog in a short "puppy cut" — professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks at $55 to $85 per visit.
Winter: insulated coat at minus 15 and below. Most Havanese will manage moderate cold with a coat. Summer: heat is manageable with shade and water.
Health
Patellar luxation, hip dysplasia, cataracts, and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (a hip-joint condition affecting young dogs). Long-lived breed (13 to 15 years).

Havanese Adoption FAQ — Manitoba
Where can I find Havanese adoption near me in Manitoba?
Havanese are rare in Manitoba rescue. Most are placed through national breed-specific networks like Havanese Fanciers of Canada Rescue (havaneserescue.ca). Winnipeg Humane Society and Manitoba Mutts see them occasionally. Set up alerts.
Are Havanese good apartment dogs?
Yes — one of the best matches for Winnipeg apartment and condo living. Quiet, friendly with everyone, and content with two short daily walks.
What does a Havanese adoption fee include in Manitoba?
A Manitoba Havanese adoption fee generally covers the spay or neuter, core vaccinations, microchip, deworming, and a veterinary health check.
Are Havanese hypoallergenic?
Often marketed that way. Reality: the coat is low-shedding but Havanese still produce dander and saliva proteins that trigger allergies. Always meet the specific dog before committing if allergies are a deciding factor.
Need to rehome a Havanese?
If you can no longer keep your Havanese, you can list them for free on LocalPetFinder. Your dog stays in your home until you find the right family, you screen who applies, and there is no surrender fee. Not sure yet? Our guide to surrendering a dog in Canada walks through every option first.
