Hattie
Surrendered by a family whose owner had passed, Hattie felt abandoned after living a comfortable life with her person.
Their journey
- After a few months at the shelter, Hattie was placed in foster care early may, where she instantly got along with her foster dog and cat
- With her gentle disposition, non-aggressive manner, and love to be cuddled made Hattie an instant foster favorite who loved car rides, pup cups, and hikes.
- Through word of mouth and social media, after only 2 weeks of being in foster care, Hattie was adopted by an elderyl woman who had recently lost her pet.
- It was a perfect match, and love at first sight when Hattie met her new forever mom!
It was love at first sight.

What made the difference
Older dogs are consistently overlooked in shelters. Foster families and consistent interaction let their personalities re-emerge.
