About Hartley

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Meet Hartley – your pint-sized adventure buddy! She may be called a "pocket pittie," but you'll need a pretty big pocket for her personality. Hartley is an ideal mix of playful and cuddly, and keeps life fun with her favorite activities: walks with lots of butt scratches, fetch games that always involve two balls, car rides with the windows rolled down, and proudly showing off the best backyard sticks she can find. While Hartley finds hoses a little baffling (especially when the water comes out!), she and her foster mom are working on that together. When meeting new people, Hartley may be reserved at first; she wants to be sure you're truly a friend! With patience, her whole heart is yours. She’s a quick learner with several commands under her belt (sit, stay, down, shake) and comes with a dazzling smile as well as notably soft fur. Crate trained, house trained, and a respectful houseguest who never chews on things she shouldn’t, Hartley isn’t phased by loud noises like fireworks or storms. She’s happy to share her home with another dog—big or small, as long as she can be the boss—or she’d be content as your one-and-only if she’s the center of attention. Curling up beside you to chew a bone is her idea of heaven. If you want a loyal, well-mannered companion who will fill your heart (and cuddle your couch), Hartley might just be the perfect match. As an Aquarius with a playful, independent streak, she brings a spark of fun to every day! Could she be the missing piece of your family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
