Meet Hattie! A cuddly, playful five-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever and Carolina Dog mix in Birmingham, AL, Hattie is a radiant burst of loyalty wrapped in her beautiful golden tan coat. She thrives on closeness, whether curled up next to you on the couch, soaking up the sunshine in the yard, or eagerly exploring new scents on a hiking trail. At about 35 pounds, Hattie is a delightful medium-sized girl whose joyful personality shines with structure, affection, and opportunities to learn. Having completed formal obedience training, she knows commands like sit, stay, and shake, and enjoys training sessions with positive reinforcement. Hattie's good manners extend to car rides and crate time, and she has an incredible knack for sensing when someone is feeling down, happily offering comfort when needed. Hattie requires a loving home where she can be the only pet due to past altercations with other dogs. Although calm around dogs during walks, a dog-free household is essential for her wellbeing. An adult-only environment—or one with older children—along with an experienced adopter is necessary to provide her with thoughtful management and continued positive reinforcement. A securely fenced yard will allow her to safely enjoy her outdoor adventures. Hattie is spayed, microchipped, house-trained, and up-to-date on vaccinations. With so much love to give, she could be the adventure partner you’ve been waiting for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
