Story
Dr. Frank-N-Furter came to our home in 2014. We rescued him from a large hoarding situation. He has been a treasured part of our family for the last 11 years. Furter (as he is affectionately known) is around 14 years old (we guessed his age and gave him the birthday of October 31). He is great with children and other dogs of all ages. The ideal home for Furter would be one that has: multiple dogs (3-4...he loves being part of a pack), affectionate children, very few stairs, access to a yard, and a primary owner who is able to be home with him. For 14, Furter still has a lot of energy and needs an attentive owner who can also handle his medical needs (special diet, urniary tract issues/incontinence, and skin allergies). This was a difficult decision for our family, and we want Furter to go to a good home.

Story
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please email the adoption counselor:  lisastern.tr@gmail.com  and request an adoption application.  Dog's Name:  Short Stack Estimated Breed :  Dachshound/Spaniel Approximate Age:  9-10 years Approximate Weight:  15 lbs. Currently Living at:  Foster Adoption Fee:  $300   DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Looking for a furry companion who will bring joy, loyalty, and endless love into your home? Short Stack  is the one for you! This sweet and cuddly little man  is ready to find his forever family. Here’s a little about him:  Personality: Sweet and extremely friendly, Short Stack LOVES to sleep in the big bed with his humans. He is definitely a huge snuggler, so if you are looking for a cuddle buddy, he's your happy-go-lucky lover boy.  Training & Behavior: Short Stack is fine in his crate, but does need some focused attention on house training. He is friendly with other smaller dogs; however, does get a bit intimidated and growly around big dogs. Short Stack is fine with cats, and probably would be fine with children who know how to treat a little senior dog.  Health & Wellness: Don't let his age fool you, this little guy still has some spunk! In general, he is lower energy, but still enjoys getting out for walks and outdoor time.  Perfect Home:  This sweet guy is just looking for attention and LOVE! If you can provide that, and some housetraining, than your household will work for Short Stack. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (for dogs over 6 months old), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee. Sponsor Me! Make a tax-deductible donation today by visiting us at    https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor.    Donations help us offset boarding costs and additional medical treatment for those dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at    hattonanimalrescue.org   .

Story
Name: Ramsey Sex: Male Estimated Age: About 10 months old (as of 3/1/25) Best Guess for Breed: Dachshund Mix Weight: About 15 lbs (as of 3/1/25) Lives With: Dogs, cats and people! Housebroken? Yes, he’s housebroken! Story: Ramsey was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina with his brother Gordon. We are so happy to have them safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Ramsey is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. He knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with his humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Ramsey is just looking for someone to be his new best furend and we know that he will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Ramsey will need an adopter who is committed to setting him up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising him both mentally and physically. He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Ramsey is the sweetest dog you will ever meet!  He loves playing with other dogs and he is completely fine with our cats (even the mean one!).  He is a bit shy initially, but it only takes a minute for him to change his mind and want attention from you. Overall Ramsey is a very easy dog!  He’s happy just to lay in a dog bed near you while you work, and so far seems to be house-trained.  He loves to be held and cuddled and will follow us around, but will also go get toys out of the toy basket on his own to play with.  He loves squeaky toys and chew bones to occupy his time!  Ramsey walks very well on a leash and loves his walk time.  He is very quiet in his crate at night (in our room with us) but I honestly am not sure he needs one!  We have never heard Ramsey bark, which is amazing considering his breed.  He has a very sweet disposition so I believe he will be really great with kids.  If you are looking for an adorable, sweet, affectionate, easy dog that you can take anywhere, Ramsey is your guy! The fee to adopt Ramsey is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, his neuter, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. Ramsey tested positive for Heartworm. This is a very treatable illness that is common in many shelter dogs coming from the South. Treatment will be paid for by the rescue. For more information on heartworm, visit our blog. If you think that Ramsey might be your perfect match, apply today!March 2, 2025, 5:20 pm

Story
Stumpy-Bassett Hound/Labrador Retriever (Bassador) male, ~ 1-2 yr. (March 2024) Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for application to adopt. Stumpy is living in a very rural area with a family that asked for help in finding him a new home. He's used to living a family life with children and loves the children. He would be best as an only dog. He's a mixed dog but a popular mix, called a Bassador. The Bassador temperament can vary a lot depending on whether they take after their Lab or Basset Hound parent more. Generally, they are sociable and loving. We are fortunate to know how Stumpy has done, living with a family. Bassadors love attention, especially from their favorite person. If you want a dog with a very unique look who’s loyal to a fault, the Bassador could be the dog for you! Stumpy's adoption fee is $350 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Include your location and a phone number for future communication.
