Story
Current Location: Germantown, MD Meet Bernie Bernie is an incredibly sweet, easygoing boy who believes life should move at a calm and comfortable pace. He is happiest stretched out in a cozy bed or curled up beside his person, enjoying a long, peaceful nap. He loves being near his people, enjoys being held, and offers quiet companionship without being demanding. Energy and Personality Bernie is truly a low energy dog. He prefers lounging and gentle moments over busy activity. Short walks and a little playtime with his favorite toys are just right for him, and then he is content to settle back down. He thrives in calm, predictable environments and does best when life feels steady and relaxed. Training and Behavior Bernie is house trained, crate trained, and doing very well with leash training. He continues to improve on walks and now only occasionally barks at sudden noises outside. He has shown how adaptable and eager to learn he is when given gentle guidance. He knows basic cues including come, stay, and no, and understands his crate routine well. Bernie truly wants to do the right thing and responds beautifully to structure and consistency. Social Life Bernie enjoys being near his people but is not clingy. He is comfortable spending time on his own and settles easily when left alone. He prefers quiet companionship and gentle affection rather than constant activity. Best Home Fit Bernie will thrive in a quiet, low traffic home with someone who appreciates a relaxed, easygoing dog. He is perfect for a person or couple who enjoys peaceful evenings, slow walks, and cozy time at home. A household that respects his space and values calm energy will help him feel safe and confident. Bernie is ready to offer his gentle heart, steady presence, and loyal companionship to the right home.

Hello! My name is Billie! Fostered in King William, VA. Meet Billie: A Work in Progress Looking for a Patient Champion Billie is a 1 year old, 15 pound work in progress, and she's worth every bit of patience it takes to help her blossom! This girl has come so far already and is ready to continue her journey with the right person who will take their time and believe in her. The Billie You'll Love When Billie is comfortable, she's wonderful and very affectionate. She'll let you pet her, jump up into bed ready to snuggle, and show you just how sweet and loving she can be. She's house trained and quickly picked up learning how to use a doggy door, proving she's smart and capable when given the chance. What Billie Needs Billie tends to be nervous and will bark when anyone comes in the house. She has to get comfortable with someone new slowly. She would do best in a calm home without young children who may seem unpredictable to her. She needs an adult who will take their time, be patient with her. Good News Billie will go in a crate on her own, showing she's learning to trust routines and safe spaces. She gets along well with other dogs, which could be a wonderful support system for her as she continues to gain confidence. Best Home Fit Billie needs a calm, patient adult home without children. Someone experienced with unsure dogs who understands that progress takes time and celebrates every small victory. With the right person, Billie will continue to grow into the affectionate, wonderful companion she's already showing she can be. If you're ready to be Billie's patient champion and help her write the next chapter of her story, she's waiting to meet you! Apply today!

Story
Current Location: East Berlin, PA A Beautiful Doxie Mix with a Huge Personality Paisley is a beautiful Doxie mix with a huge personality and enough happiness to power a small city. At around 4 months old and just 8 pounds, she's perfectly portable, ideal for lap lounging, couch snuggles, and being carried like the little princess she knows she is. This girl is the ultimate play hard, nap harder kind of puppy. Paisley loves zooming around the living room, tossing her toys in the air, and romping with other dogs like it's her absolute favorite hobby. When she finally runs out of fuel, she happily transforms into a snuggle bug, curling up for belly rubs and cozy naps. Paisley takes her culinary experiences very seriously. She adores treats, chews, and mealtime, especially her dry kibble topped with a little wet food because of course. A fenced yard would be fun, but it's not a requirement. Paisley's real must haves are love, playtime, and people who want to hang out with her all day. She's currently learning pee pad and litter box training and is already showing off how smart and eager she is to learn. Paisley loves being close to her humans, but she's also a superstar at bedtime, sleeping quietly and peacefully in her kennel through the night. If you're looking for a joyful, affectionate puppy who brings laughter, cuddles, and nonstop tail wags wherever she goes, Paisley is ready to prance straight into your heart. Apply today!

Story
Bruno is approx. 7 years old and is loyal, but he is not very comfortable with children. He loves to sit on the sofa with his bff and watch tv or take a nap. He has been with our family his entire life, but he needs a home with a loving person who can spend lots of time with each day. He likes to go to the office, car rides and is trained to stay in the confines of a gate when he is home alone. We are not charging a fee, we just want Bruno to go to a loving home that is a good fit.

Story
Looking for a furry companion who will bring joy, loyalty, and endless love into your home? Miss Daisy is the one for you! This petite, sweet gal is ready to find her furever foster. She is a nice little charmer; she likes to lick your hands and cuddle up, once she gets to know you! Daisy can tolerate other dogs but does not ike them in her territory. She can be very possessive of her human, desiring all the attention for herself! Daisy may need a refresher in housetraining. We are looking for someone who can take care of her medical needs on a daily basis. This includes heart tablets every day for her murmur (she does not mind them at all), a special diet (which the rescue will provide, you just need to be able to occasionally pick up the food from the rescue), and occasional vet visits also covered by the rescue. Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation's Sanctuary Forever Foster Program: The goal of the Forever Foster program is to provide loving and safe homes for older, special needs or palliative care animals. A Forever Foster pet is usually a senior pet or a pet with medical needs that generally would not be adopted otherwise – these are the unfortunate ones who are overlooked at animal shelters and are often the first to be euthanized. While you provide a safe home environment (food, toys, attention and, of course, LOVE) for one of our sweet animals, Hatton Animal Rescue is committed to covering ALL medical costs for the deserving animal that you welcome in. Why commit to becoming a Forever Foster? Of course, the first reason is that these special animals deserve to live out their lives in comfort and with love. Second, Forever Foster parents will be the first to tell you that the love these pets return is unconditional, and that it is extremely fulfilling to provide special care. The love you provide goes a long way as your forever foster is able to live out his/her best life. If you ready to make the commitment to become a Forever Foster, please complete our foster application and we will reach out to you to schedule an interview. Please note that opportunities for temporary fostering are available on a case by case basis, but generally, we are looking for forever homes). https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/HATT/Dog
