About Lettie

Meet Lettie. After a surprise stint as a devoted mom, Lettie is finally ready for a chapter that’s all her own. She came to Illinois from Texas after her owner entered hospice care, only to reveal upon arrival that she was expecting puppies. She raised her litter beautifully—now all busy finding homes of their own—and has more than earned her shot at being someone’s spoiled companion. Lettie is a striking Lab and Husky mix, likely between 1 and 3 years old. She stands at a perfect medium size, about 40 pounds, with a soft, medium-length coat in warm white and apricot shades. She’s as reliable as they come: fully housebroken, clever, playful, quick to love, and deeply affectionate. Lettie gets along with dogs, coexists peacefully with cats, and is happy to hang out with kids. She’ll grab a toy for independent play or join all the action when it’s family time. If you’re looking for a dog who loves backyard romps, cozy cuddles, and sticking by your side, Lettie fits right in—her manners are solid, and she never causes a fuss at night. Lettie has cared for everyone else long enough. She’s after a family who will return the favor and make her feel like the star. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
