Hartley

Meet Hartley – Your Pint-Sized Adventure Buddy!

Hi there! My name’s Hartley — While some call me a “pocket pittie,” I’m pretty sure your pocket would have to be very big!

I’m the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. My favorite hobbies include:

 • Going for walks and lots of butt scratches. 

 • Playing fetch — but only if we use two balls (trust me, it’s more fun that way!) 

 • Enjoying car rides with the windows down so I can take in all the smells

 • Meandering around the backyard, proudly carrying the sticks I find 

I do have one mystery in my life: the garden hose. Sometimes it’s fine… until the water starts coming out. Then I’m not so sure about it. It gets me overly excited. My foster mom says we’re working on it together.

When we first meet, I might be a little reserved — I like to make sure you’re a good human before giving you my whole heart. But with just a bit of patience, I’ll love you like no other. I already know lots of commands (sit, stay, down, shake) and my foster mom says I have “the most beautiful smile and the perfect physique - not too skinny, not too fluffy”. I always get compliments on my soft fur. 

I’m crate trained, house trained, and a respectful houseguest — I never chew on things I shouldn’t. No need to coddle me on fireworks day or during a storm - loud noises don’t bother me. I’d love a home with another dog (big or small, as long as they let me be in charge), but I’d also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only if you give me lots of attention. Sitting with you while I chew a bone sounds like heaven to me.

So, if you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s small enough to fit on your couch but big enough to fill your heart, I’m your girl. Could I be the missing piece to your family?
