About Hayden
**Hayden (aka "Princess Pookie Pants")** 🐾 Meet Hayden, a sweet two-year-old terrier mix who weighs fourteen pounds. She leans towards low energy and independence, more akin to a cat-like companion than a typical rambunctious dog. Unlike many pups, she’s not into toys or playful antics; instead, she craves affection from those she trusts. A naturally shy girl, Hayden takes her time to warm up to new people and environments. However, she has made impressive strides with her foster's dogs, happily coexisting and sniffing greetings even though play isn’t her preference. She’s silent and rarely barks, and while she may growl if something feels uncertain, there’s no hint of aggression in her heart. Hayden is both potty trained and crate trained, steadily building her leash confidence. She loves lounging in sunny spots, soaking up the warmth. Her biggest area for growth is trust. With high-value treats and gentle patience, she begins to open up and, once she lets you in, she’s eager for affection. Given her temperament, Hayden would thrive as an only dog or with a calm companion. She’s an ideal fit for apartments and would flourish in a moderate to calm home with a patient adopter who spends a good amount of time there. It’s best to place her in a home without small children. ***A note from her foster:** "She is the sweetest and cutest little muffin. She doesn't bark at all. Though timid, she craves affection from those she trusts." Ready to make Hayden a part of your life? Apply now!
