Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Hattie! This little lady is looking for her special someone and a lap to curl up on.  Hattie is a maltese/poodle/chichuachua mix, approximately 10 yrs. old, and almost a whole 5lbs!  She was born with congenital small eye in her right eye and has a cataract in her left eye but seems to have most of her vision and gets around great.  Hattie does have a small heart murmur and is scheduled for a dental but otherwise in great health.  She is up to date on shots and Heartworm/flea medications.   Hattie needs a calm and quiet home with a mostly stay at home person who wants lots of snuggles.  She will gets along with other dogs (and her foster's cat) as long as they give her space and not bother her.   Hattie is potty trained but does like to explore so a fenced in yard or someone who is willing to go outdoors with her is required.  She is either following her foster parents around or snuggled next to them.  She sleeps well in a kennel and will tolerate being in one but she will let you know she isn't happy about it for a few minutes before settling down.  Hattie is the sweetest little snuggle bug who just wants someone to cuddle with and give lots of love to.  Does Miss Hattie sound like the perfect best friend for you?  If so, please feel out an application and make arrangements to meet Hatttie in person.Adoption fee to help defray vet costs:  $100. Note:Hattie is eligible for our Senior to Senior program Pairing older adults with older dogs.  The rescue covers Hattie's vet expenses (if you use our vet) and the owner provides the Love, care and food.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 5, 2026, 9:44 am
