About Natty

Meet Natty, an adorable little girl who resembles a whippet mixed with an Ibiza hound. This small breed is playful, energetic, and tips the scales at under 10 lbs. She loves human company and gets along well with other dogs. Natty is safe around cats, but she can be quite enthusiastic when she plays, so she'd do best in a home with cats confident enough to stand their ground. While Natty is a sociable pup, a family with children should ideally have older kids who know how to handle small dogs respectfully. Rescued from Ensenada, she's been fully vetted and is in great health, with all her vaccinations up to date. Currently transitioning from her foster home in Ensenada, we're looking to find her a loving foster home in San Diego to help her acclimate and attend events. Natty is ready for her next adventure in a forever home. Think you could be the one for her?
