Havana (now called “Savanna”) was found at around 5-6 weeks old. She was shy but friendly. Thanks to her foster family, she blossomed into a playful pup.

Savanna is now in her new forever home, getting along fantastically with her human brother and sister. There are many benefits from having a pet in a child’s life. From fostering natural nurturing abilities to developing responsibilities, pets have a life long impact on a child’s development.
