Hattie is a 5-year-old, 10-pound female Purebred Toy Fox Terrier living in New York City. She's a bright, spirited, and deeply charming little dog with a curious mind and a sensitive side. Still finding her footing in the hustle of the city, Hattie feels most at ease in quieter neighborhoods where she can truly relax and take in her surroundings. She loves enrichment games like “Search,” where she hunts for hidden treats around the house, and enjoys long, sniff-filled walks through grassy or wooded areas. A natural hunter at heart, she also delights in squirrel-watching (and chasing on a long-line leash, of course). In her foster home, Hattie has proven to be reliably house-trained and eager to learn. She's currently working on her loose-leash walking and is making great progress, responding well to gentle resets and a slower pace when she gets distracted. She's incredibly attentive and tuned in, often making it feel like she's the one leading the training. Hattie is comfortable staying home alone in a puppy pen and is typically found curled up in her bed when her fosters return. She also enjoys her crate as a cozy retreat, especially when she has the freedom to come and go, and is gradually building comfort with the door closed. A quiet observer, Hattie loves bird-watching from the balcony and may hop into your lap for a better view. While she can be a bit shy with touch at first, giving her the space to set the pace has helped her blossom, she's now starting to seek out gentle affection (though she might insist it's just about adjusting her harness). Hattie is looking for a calm, patient home that understands her need for structure, enrichment, and personal space. With a solid 45–60 minute morning walk, she settles into a peaceful rhythm and happily naps for most of the day. Her ideal adopter will be someone who advocates for her, respects her boundaries, and continues to build her confidence at her own pace. Hattie would do best in an adult-only home and prefers to be the only pet, where she can truly shine. Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, spayed and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Hattie, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application.
