My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Location is Tennessee

Hazel is a 1 yo pibble weighing approximately 55 lbs. She is full of personality and has a heart as big as her hippo head.

Hazel had a rough start in life but when she came to rescue in February, at 9 mos old, all that changed. Hazel was born with luxating patellas in both knees therefore she could not straighten her back legs. She walked and ran like a frog and lived her first 9 mos like this. She was also suffering from a severe UTI and skin infection that had gone untreated for months.

Hazel’s time in rescue has been spent tackling her health issues and learning to be a dog. She has been a champ through it all! She is a smart girl, so she has learned a lot very quickly. She has undergone 2 knee surgeries, attended physical therapy twice a week and she’s had numerous vet visits to tackle the horrendous UTI, skin infection and also had her teeth cleaned at only 9mos old. Now that all of that is behind her, she is looking for her forever!

Hazel loves all humans however due to her size, strength and energy level, she would do best in an adult home with no small children. Hazel also loves all animals but would do best with dogs her size.

Hazel is crate trained and has never had an accident while crated. While in foster, Hazel has only been crated when no-one is home and that is rare so she hasn’t been crated often. Hazel has learned to negotiate; she gets a really good treat when she enters her crate on her own now.

Hazel is potty trained; she will come to you or go to the door when she has to potty. Hazel sleeps through the night in her own bed beside her foster mom’s bed and has no issues.

Hazel loves being rewarded with treats, hugs, kisses and lots of “good girl”. Hazel loves to play with her toys and has no problem sharing with her foster sisters. Hazel is more submissive than anything when around other dogs, but she can get a little rough in playtime because she thinks she’s a chihuahua.
