Meet Hazel. This beauty came to us after some unfortunate circumstances in her previous home led to her being bullied and bitten by the other dogs she lived with. Her wounds were so substantial that Hazel required immediate medical attention. Now that she has healed, she is ready for a new home, fresh start and to be treated like the princess she is. Hazel is cuddly, kissy and has a warm personality. Her gorgeous eyes will draw you in and you are sure to fall in love. Just with any adolescent puppy, she is looking for exercise, routine and training. Most likely a bit traumatized by her previous experience with dogs, Hazel has been watching and walking near them, but is nervous getting close and we are still unsure what her reaction will be to each individual dog. For this reason, Hazel's new home should have no other animals. Being so young, Hazel has so much potential to befriend other dogs that will not make her feel threatened and enjoy playing again. Hazel loves to play and seems to enjoy people of all ages, including children. When she gets excited she does jump and also loves her belly rubs. If you would like more information about this special girl, contact the shelter today to make an appointment to meet her.
