Story
Muffy came into my life after her previous owner passed, and she’s proven to be one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I’ve ever known. While she’s shy at first, this loyal girl becomes a total lovebug once she trusts you. She’s very well-behaved, masters tricks like “spin” and “high-five,” and adores daily walks or hikes. Muffy would thrive in calm, quiet home with 1-2 adults who understand her cautious nature. She’d do best in a home without cats or small children. She could enjoy a home with another friendly dog if it is the right fit (she can be particular about other dogs but there are some that she really loves). A securely fenced yard is a must, as she loves being outside. Muffy’s heart is full of love; she just needs the right person to give her time and space to share it. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who’ll repay your patience with endless devotion, Muffy is your girl.

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
Meet Tidbit or "Tink" as her foster mother calls her! A recently groomed mega sweetheart, she's a gentle and affectionate little dog who would thrive in a quieter, calmer environment where she can get the attention she deserves. Tink does great with all dogs and cats. She is pee pad trained but only uses them in cases of emergency as she prefers to do her business outside. She enjoys being outside with her person, and you may catch her doing a quick lap around the yard when the weather is nice. She can go in and out of the house on her own as long as there isn't a huge flight of steps involved. She loves all people but is a little timid at first meeting. While she rarely barks, she may voice her opinion when a stranger comes to the door or if she sees an unruly bird or squirrel outside on the patio. As the little princess she is, Tink prefers your presence when she dines. She is underweight so it helps if she has food available throughout the day. She currently eats wet and dry food. As you might have guessed, Tink is a low-key lap dog. She'd love to sleep in the big bed with you but does not demand it. When you're not home, she'll find a quiet place to sleep. That spot may be behind a chair on a blanket, under the bed, or even on a dog bed in the bathroom. She'll decide where her comfort zone is. Tink wants to be near her person all the time and has recently shown signs of separation anxiety when left alone. Tink has been fully vetted and just completed a dental appointment (yes, she still has teeth!). She has a heart murmur that does not currently require meds but going forward for a safe and healthy future, her cardiologist recommends regular appointments to monitor. Our Tink is a sweet special gal looking for a very committed adopter who will see to her whims and needs. If you think you are the one, please complete an application today!
