About Hattie

Meet Hattie—proof that resilience comes with four paws! Before making her way to Buffalo, Hattie spent her life tied outside in Texas, used for breeding. She also had to fight through heartworm treatment, which she handled like an absolute champion. Now she’s healthy, happy, and officially accepting applications for the most important job of all... her forever family. Don’t let the German Shepherd label fool you—Hattie is a petite 50-pound model, making her the perfect size for both adventures and couch cuddles. Her résumé includes: Professional snugglerï ̧ Neighborhood squirrel patrol supervisor Excellent bff buddy Loyal shadow who just wants to be wherever you are Amazing with kids. Hattie doesn’t ask for much. A comfy bed. A family to call her own. Maybe a backyard with a few squirrels to keep an eye on. Mostly, she just wants someone who will love her as much as she’ll love them. She has spent enough of her life surviving. Now it’s time for Hattie to start living. Could you be the family she’s been waiting for?
