About

Meet Hattie

Hattie     Female,  Shepherd - Husky - Lab  mix, Estimated Birthday 12/11/2018 (5.5 years), 45 pounds   Hattie is a very special girl, and not just because she is a tripod.  She has a happy and loving personality and the best smile!  When you enter a room and especially when you baby-talk to her, she scrunches her nose into the funniest, most endearing grin.  Hattie knows that when you smile, the whole world smiles with you!   Being a recent amputee doesn’t slow Hattie down one bit.  She is completely unaware of the loss of a leg and is faster on 3 legs than any human on 2. It's a joy to watch her run and play like any dog.  She adores long walks and the opportunity to explore and sniff.  With her foster mom, Hattie has been taking twice daily one mile strolls walking at a very brisk pace.  She could probably run in the Suburban Iditarod!  She enjoys fetching balls, chewy bones and gazing out the front door at squirrels, birds and pedestrians going by.   Hattie is calm, affectionate, gentle and a total love.  She is a velcro dog who prefers to be right next to her person all day long.  Working from home, she’s under the desk; cooking dinner, she’s parked at your feet; watching tv, she’s snuggled at your side.  She has no trouble leaping onto the couch to chill with you, rolling over for chest and belly rubs.     Hattie would love to sleep in the people bed but is a very good girl and will sleep through the night in her own doggie bed.  She prefers not to be crated and, since she has great house manners, it’s really not necessary.  She is 100% house trained and alerts with a whine or bark when it is time to go out.  She gets down to business very quickly  which is much appreciated in cold, inclement weather.  Yet, she’s not a vocal dog.  She is great in the car, eagerly leaping in without help, excited to join you on your errands and trips.   Hattie is easy-going, obedient and a quick learner. She is food and treat motivated.  Hattie likes to chase squirrels and birds and probably cats so she is best in a home without felines.  Hattie prefers all your attention and would be best as an only dog in the home, or the first dog so she could meet and select her friends.     House trained Good on leash Good in the Car Good with Kids Dog Selective No Cats     * The adoption fee of $225 includes age-appropriate vaccines, initial de-worming, spay/neuter surgery, microchip and transport fee.    * The application is the first step in all inquiries and adoptions      Canine Compassion Fund - Online Adoption Application www.caninecompassionfund.org/Forms/OnlineAdoptionApplication   * Additional information is available on our site caninecompassionfund.org
