Story
Meet Dan Dan’s the kind of dog who makes you believe in second chances. Three years young and about 14 pounds, this soulful Pekingese came from the South, found wandering with his loyal travel partner, Forrest. No one knows the full story of how these two buddies ended up on their own, but if you look into Dan’s wise little eyes, you can tell he’s learned a lot along the way - about friendship, resilience, and the art of keeping hope alive. Energy and Personality Dan’s got the gentle heart of a philosopher and the spirit of a wanderer who’s finally found safe ground. He’s affectionate, grounded, and likes to take life at his own steady pace. He enjoys company, loves people, and gets along easily with dogs. Though his hind legs have limited mobility, he’s remarkably adaptable - getting along like he’s got places to be and dreams to chase. The vet says with continued medical support and physiotherapy, he could regain more movement, but Dan doesn’t seem bothered. He’s too busy enjoying the simple joys: a soft bed, a friendly pat, and the company of those he trusts. Training and Behavior Dan is wonderfully crate trained and has an easygoing nature that makes him a pleasure to care for. He’s calm, cooperative, and perfectly content to hang out quietly or share the couch for a movie marathon. His goopy eye is being treated, and while there may be some vision loss, his outlook stays clear - love, comfort, and loyalty are what truly matter. Social Life Dan and Forrest are a real-life duo straight out of a heartwarming road movie. They’ve traveled side by side through hardship and have come out stronger and softer for it. While it would be a storybook ending to see them adopted together, they’re both ready to bring love and gratitude into any home lucky enough to have them either separately or together. Special Traits Dan’s scruffy charm and thoughtful gaze make him feel older than his years. He’s a little old soul in a small, resilient body. He’s learned that life’s best moments are simple: the sound of someone calling his name, a treat for being good, the company of a friend. He’s proof that even the roughest roads can lead to someplace beautiful. Best Home Fit Dan will thrive in a calm, loving home that values quiet companionship and gentle affection. He doesn’t need much, just someone to remind him that the journey’s over and the best is yet to come. Whether he’s sharing a home with Forrest or striking out on his own, this little philosopher is ready to trade the open road for a soft lap and a forever heart. Veterinary Care Dan has visited the veterinarian for assessment and treatment of his rear leg issues and eyes and is up to date on vaccinations for his age. He will be neutered, microchipped, and on heartworm preventative, flea and tick preventative, and routine parasite treatments. His eye is under medical care and improving, and he may benefit from ongoing physiotherapy to strengthen his hind legs.

Story
Meet sweet Smooches! She is looking for a forever foster willing to give her the one-on-one love and attention she deserves. Though she's blind and deaf, this wonderful gal does not let it slow her down. She is not 100% at using the pee pads, but she does pretty well if the pad is kept in the same spot. Smooches enjoys roaming the yard in nice weather and can make it to the door and will ask to go outside. She knows where the water and food dishes are and can help herself. Smooches is very friendly, good with dogs, cats, and children. She is an easy going gal who eats, sleeps and does a couple passes around the house each day. We are looking for someone who can take care of her medical needs on a daily basis. This includes eye drops several times a day (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 to Tridelphia, 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

Story
Please read full profile. Milo is part of a bonded pair with Lilita. Milo is a scared little guy, initially, but comes around quickly once he knows he is safe and his humans are not going to hurt him. Milo came to us from a shelter in WV where he was adopted to an elderly owner with dementia as a little puppy. His new Mom used to twirl little patches of his hair into mats and pull on them. He hated that and would snap at her. So the family returned him back to the shelter when he came to our rescue. Milo is a 1-year old Pekingese and Chihuahua mix who weighs 12 lbs. Milo is up to date on vaccines, neutered, on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, and is micro-chipped. Milo is crate-trained, and is perfecting his house-training with supervision, and is doing well. Milo currently lives with dogs that range between 8 lbs to 45 lbs and has done well with them. Milo is bonded with his little girlfriend Lilita. They have fun chasing each other and sharing toys to play tug. He plays with his stuffies and enjoys chewing on his chew toys. Milo loves belly rubs and will nudge your hand to get petted once he feels safe. He is a sweet little guy, but has his limits, especially when it comes to being petted on his back. He was very nervous about being petted on his back initially and would grumble to let us know he had enough. He now is fine with it, but on occasion, he will let you know when he had enough and will grumble. We are sure it was because his previous owner would twirl his hair into mats and pull on them. It takes a patient person who is dog savvy and can read the signs he gives when he wants to be left alone. Milo has been around an 11-year old girl and totally LOVES her. He would bring his toys to her and wanting to be petted by her. However, due to his past trauma, we think he should only go into a home with dog savvy owners. Milo sleeps in his crate at night and does well in it when his family has to leave the home. You can watch his video here: https://youtu.be/eY-usiGkR6w Again, Milo is part of a bonded pair with Lilita and will only be adopted together. If you are interested in our little fella Milo, please send an email and request an adoption application at NeedfulSoulsDogRescue@gmail.com
