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.

Story
Current Location: Brunswick, MD Meet Albert Albert is a tiny Chihuahua mix with a charming underbite and the cutest little snaggle tooth smile. He is calm, attentive, and one very good little boy. We believe he may be older than ten, though that is just our best guess. What we do know is that he has a gentle, steady presence and bonds quickly to his person. Personality Albert does not bark much. He prefers to observe and stay close. Once he chooses you, he follows you from room to room, then settles peacefully when you sit down. His favorite place in the world is under a blanket. When he is ready for bed, he will politely ask you to lift the covers so he can burrow underneath. He sleeps pressed against your leg with his head resting on it. It is his safe place. He mimics other dogs and learns routines by watching. After seeing the household welcome home routine a few times, he joined right in. He is great with small dogs and has no food aggression. He simply loves to eat and enjoys mealtime. Training and Manners Albert consistently poops outside and will sit by a door to let you know he needs to go out. Sometimes it is any door, even a closet door, but he is trying to communicate. He does not yet understand peeing outside and will need diapers and continued guidance. He has poor eyesight and hearing, which likely plays a role. Because of this, he relies heavily on routine and closeness to feel secure. He loves his leash and enjoys walks, staying attentive and happy by your side. Best Home Albert would do best in a calm home that appreciates a quiet companion. Someone patient with his potty routine and mindful of his limited vision and hearing will help him thrive. If you are looking for a sweet, devoted little shadow who will burrow under your blanket and rest his head on your leg every night, Albert is ready to claim his spot beside you.

Story
Rosie is a 5-year-old Chihuahua–Dachshund mix and a sweet, low-energy girl who really enjoys her daily walks and looks forward to getting outside. In the home she is calm, quiet, and very well-mannered. She may bark briefly when new people enter, but she generally prefers to give herself a little space until she feels comfortable. Rosie can be a bit sensitive to loud or sudden noises and may take a cautious approach to unfamiliar situations on walks, sometimes preferring a little extra space from people passing by. With time and reassurance, she continues to gain confidence. Once Rosie bonds with her person, she becomes incredibly affectionate and loyal and tends to form a very strong attachment. She may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality really shines. She is a smart and respectful dog—she does not chew or take things that don’t belong to her, and she does not get on furniture unless invited. She listens well and responds nicely to guidance. Rosie may bark at other dogs on walks but is easily redirected. She has not shown much interest in toys so far. She can coexist with another small dog though she does enjoy having attention from her person. She can also be a bit reserved with men initially, but she improves with patience and gentle introductions. Overall, Rosie would do best in a calm, patient home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace. She thrives with consistency, kindness, and a peaceful environment. She would likely be happiest with a single person or a quiet couple who is home much of the time and enjoys having a devoted companion by their side. 🐾

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
