About Hattie

Hattie is a captivating 10-month-old Boxer mix currently in transit to New England, already weighing about 30 pounds. Previously living under a mobile home in Mississippi, she was once hesitant about human interaction, but her playful nature shone through as she nudged employees for attention, knowing a brighter future awaited her. This lovely girl is initially timid and will do best in a nurturing environment where trust is built gradually. Once Hattie warms up, she transforms into a devoted companion, eager to follow you everywhere and join in on cuddling when night falls. And don't let her sleepy demeanor fool you—she has a playful side that might just involve surprise games of fun and laughter when you least expect it. Although Hattie is still getting used to life indoors, she is leash-trained and appears to be house-trained. She enjoys the company of other dogs and absolutely loves treats—so feel free to use them as motivation! While Hattie has yet to meet kids or cats, her curious and sociable nature signals potential for good interactions. Her adoption includes spaying, vaccinations, and the promise of a lifelong buddy who just needs some patience and understanding to flourish. Hattie is ready to find her forever home and start her new adventure with you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
