We picked up little Hattie on our last day of spays and neuters in El Hato on Dec. 3. She was scrounging for food in the plaza. We could count every rib in her tiny body.

We tossed her some dog food, and she scrambled eagerly to eat it. She was so hungry she literally wolfed down every morsel. We brought her back with us, of course. Friend Amanda fostered her for 4 days, and with parasite treatment in just that short time she filled out.

Hattie is being fostered by friends in a wonderful multi-dog home. She will be spayed in mid December and will be available for adoption. She is about 5 months old, so we think she will be a smaller sized dog.

She is sweet, friendly and playful. She loves people and gets along great with other dogs. She is a darling little pup and she will make some lucky family very, very happy!
