Regret Adopting a Dog? How to Handle Adoption Blues
Feeling adopter's remorse after getting a dog? It's normal. Learn why it happens, get practical tips, and find out how shelters can help you overcome dog.
Meet Hattie, a delightful little lady who is truly the sweetest snuggle bug, always on the lookout for a warm lap to curl up on. At approximately 10 years young, Hattie possesses a gentle and affectionate personality, thriving on companionship and close cuddles. She loves to follow her foster mom around and is happiest when snuggled right next to or on a lap. While she will let you know her initial displeasure about being kenneled, she quickly settles down, proving her adaptable nature.
As a Maltese and Poodle mix, Hattie embodies the best traits of both breeds: intelligence, affection, and a strong desire to be a cherished companion. Despite being born with congenital small eye in her right eye and having a cataract in her left, she navigates her surroundings remarkably well, seemingly retaining most of her vision. She also has a small heart murmur and is scheduled for a dental, but otherwise, she is in great health and ready to bring immense joy to her forever family. Hattie tolerates other dogs as long as they respect her space and don't bother her, making her a good fit for a multi-dog home with calm companions.
Hattie is searching for a calm and quiet home with a dedicated person who is mostly stay-at-home and eager to provide endless snuggles. She is fully potty trained but enjoys exploring, so a securely fenced yard or a guardian willing to accompany her outdoors is essential. This loving senior would thrive with someone who appreciates her gentle spirit and is ready to offer a lifetime of love and care. If you're looking for a devoted, cuddly friend, Hattie might just be your perfect match.
