We’d love for you to join us in improving the lives of animals who need to be rescued and loved.
Havanese Day is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing public awareness around animal welfare, rescue, adoption, and advocacy through storytelling, photography, and film.
Inspired by the love of a small dog named Lily, founders Jan Soderquist and Gareth Rockliffe’s mission is to collaborate with shelters, humane societies, and rescue organizations across the country to create meaningful and emotionally impactful work that shines a light on animals in need – and on the extraordinary people working to protect them.
Their work is guided by a simple belief: when people truly connect emotionally to the lives of animals, hearts open, awareness grows, and change becomes possible through both individual action and community involvement.
What began as a fun little adventure film with our rescue pup, Sadie, grew into a much bigger and more meaningful “dogumentary” that spotlights the incredible compassion of people working every day to help animals in need – and the powerful connection that exists between humans and the animals they love.

A tribute to our beloved pup, Lily, I wrote this book – the first in a trilogy, hoping it would warm a lot of hearts…and even inspire a few chuckles.
