About Hassie

Hassie is a medium-sized Lab mix with a gentle spirit, looking for her person in the DC area. She gets along well with other dogs and, based on observations at the shelter, seems unfazed by cats—she hasn’t lived with them but doesn’t show much interest, so a careful introduction is possible. A home with children is not recommended for Hassie. She bonds deeply, craves affection, and will work those puppy dog eyes for an extra helping of treats. If you love long walks and rounds of fetch, she’s your perfect match—this girl could play for hours and is happiest when active or snuggled up on the couch. Hassie is already spayed and up to date on vaccinations, and she’s shown herself to be leash trained and able to sleep through the night in her crate. She’s recovering from heartworm, so a calm environment during her recovery phase is important, but she’ll soon be ready for full activity and should have no lasting effects. If you’re ready for a loyal companion ready to fill your home with love and gentle energy, Hassie is waiting in Washington, DC. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
