About Hayden

Hayden is an energetic four-month-old rat terrier mix and the lively sibling to Hannah, Henry, Harley, and Harper. This long-legged girl weighs about 10 lbs now and is expected to reach 15-20 lbs as she grows. She embodies the spirit of a playful puppy, always curious and sometimes getting into mischief. Her comedic timing shines through; when caught in the act, she’ll sit sweetly and flash an innocent look that makes it hard to stay mad. Although initially a bit nervous with new people, once she settles down and burns off her zoomies, she transforms into a cuddly sweetheart. Hayden has just started her journey towards being fully house trained, and with her foster mom’s help, she is making good progress. Ideal for her forever home are a playful canine sibling to help teach her the ropes, patient humans who can give her frequent potty breaks, and a big-kid-only environment to keep her safe. With a bit of love and time, she’ll surely bring joy and laughter to her new family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
