Update

Hey everyone ❤️

Huge thank you to the 9 amazing people who've donated so far — we've raised $1,375 of the $1,800 goal! Every dollar is helping Myste cover rent, dog food, groceries, and bills while she can't work. Your support means the world to her right now.

We're only $425 away from the goal — so close! If you can chip in even $10–20, it adds up fast. If not, please share the link again (especially in dog show groups or with friends who know Myste).

Myste is one of those rare souls who always shows up for everyone else — setup, ring help, moral support, you name it. Now it's our turn to show up for her.

Thank you again for being the amazing community we are. Every bit of love, share, or donation is carrying her through.

With endless gratitude,

Paige (on behalf of Myste & the pups)

Our dear friend Myste Havens needs our help right now ❤️

This past weekend at the shows in Phoenix, while handling her Whippet special, Stitch, Myste caught the corner of the mat with her shoe and took a bad fall. She ended up with a broken foot.

Thankfully, no surgery is needed right now (hallelujah!), but she'll be out of work for at least 4 weeks. That means no income during her recovery.

Anyone who's shown with Myste knows how generous she is—always ready to lend a hand, help with setup, or offer support when someone needs it. I know I'm not the only one she's helped over the years.

Right now, she's facing monthly bills, plus food for her dogs and groceries for herself. Anything you can contribute would make a huge difference and help ease the stress while she heals.

She’s not going to be thrilled I'm sharing this (and she literally can't chase me down to stop me with a broken foot ), but we all know she'd do the same for any of us.

If you'd like to help… Even small amounts add up, and sharing this post helps too.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. The dog show community is family, and Myste is one of the best. Let's take care of our own.
