About Hattie
Meet Hattie! This delightful Shih Tzu is settling into her new role as a cherished pet. Weighing in at just under 11 pounds, Hattie lights up every room with her energetic personality. She loves showing off her playful agility, hopping from furniture to furniture. Her favorite perch? The back of a chair, where she enjoys keeping an eye on the household activities. Hattie is affectionate and enjoys belly rubs from her favorite humans. She gets along well with smaller dogs and would likely adapt to living with cats. Because of her petite size, she needs a home with respectful children who understand how to be gentle. Although she's making progress with her house training, she’s still a work in progress in that area, so patience will be essential. Up to date on vaccinations and microchipped, Hattie will be spayed before adoption. It's also worth noting that she was diagnosed with doggie dry eye, a condition that requires ongoing medication to keep her eyes healthy and comfortable. Her eye drops are a breeze for her, and with your love and care, she can continue living a happy life. Hattie carries a long scar on her back, a silent testament to her past. Despite everything, she radiates warmth and joy and is ready to fill your home with love. If you believe Hattie could be the right fit for your family, consider reaching out to make her yours.
