INTRODUCING MS. HALLIE….a petite, 8 lb, cream colored, 3-4 yr old mix, probably Maltese and Pomeranian? She hails from the Orange County Shelter — who id’d her as a Lhasa Apso, which she definitely is not!

No matter what breed you think she is…it’s 100% adorable and portable! Hallie would be very happy running errands, going shopping, keeping you company on road trips…or just sitting with you while you work! We have no idea what her past was like, other than being a baby maker 🙁 She hasn’t had a lot of “walking on the leash” experience, but she will reluctantly stroll with you. She prefers doing her business outside in the yard (so she should have one!) She is a bit finicky about her food, but that’s because she want’s to keep her girly figure!! Our estimation is she was either extremely coddled or ignored….more than likely, making babies and then ignored and finally taken to the shelter 🙁 The shelter shaved her back area because of flea allergy dermatitis, but hair grows back and it is no longer bothering her because she doesn’t have anymore fleas!!!!

It has taken Hallie a bit to break out of her shell…and she is a total sweetheart. She is just starting to invite play with her human, and bows to show her willingness to fun around! She has good energy and we think that she would be happy with or without another dog, but with people in the home. Gentle kids would be okay, but a chaotic atmosphere will probably be too much for her at first. She does love to snuggle with you on the couch 🙂 and is certainly small enough to make room for her in bed! One step at a time!! Hallie needs love and patience, like so many of the other rescue pups — and what you get ultimately is a best friend, who gives you kisses to tell you “thank you for loving me.” Happily, she does not suffer from separation anxiety, but is very easy to take along with you! A pocket pooch she is! It might take a little time for Hallie to get used to her new surroundings but once she does, she is all yours! Does Hallie sound like a precious pup you could love forever!!?? She’s waiting.
