My story

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

Hazel the Hilarious: Your New Favorite Couch Comedian

Meet Hazel, the pint-sized French Bulldog with a heart as big as her personality—and eyes as stunning as her name suggests! At just 1.5 years young (as of August 2024), this 28-pound snugglebug is the perfect blend of sweet and sassy. Left behind in a divorce, Hazel could have let life get her down, but she’s decided to focus on what really matters—finding her forever family!

Hazel’s got a fan club that includes humans of all ages, other dogs, and a growing collection of plush toys that she adores like siblings. She’s a pro at the art of relaxation, with two modes: “On,” where she bursts into playful zoomies, and “Off,” where she’s perfectly content being your personal potato on the couch.

This little lady’s got her manners down pat—she’s housebroken in her foster home, rarely barks, and is a bed-hopping expert (dog beds, that is). Every morning, Hazel trots over for her daily dose of head scratches and hugs, like clockwork. It’s basically her version of morning coffee.

While Hazel’s a pretty chill gal, her dream home would have an experienced Frenchie fan who understands that she’s not just another pretty face—she’s a diva who needs her beauty regimen. Think of it like this: she’s low-maintenance in the personality department, but high-maintenance in the skincare and cooling-off-quickly department. A limited ingredient diet keeps her skin happy, and a 20-25 minute stroll when it’s cool out keeps her in tip-top shape.

Hazel could be an only dog or she would love to have a young laid-back male doggie buddy to play with. She's not the right match for a senior dog. If you’re looking for a lap-warmer with a great sense of humor and a lifetime of loyalty, Hazel’s your girl!

Hazel is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines. Ready to bring some hilarity and heart to your home? Hazel’s waiting to meet you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1) View pets online

2) Submit application for the pet of your choice. FYI: The application process is not meant to be an invasion of privacy but a tool to help us find out if one of our pets would fit happily into your home and lifestyle. We spend a lot of time and funds to get to know our dogs and cats and your application helps set both you and them up for a successful adoption. CLICK HERE FOR APPLICATION.

3) Meet the dog or cat: By appointment only. If your application is approved, you will be contacted to arrange to meet the pet at a convenient time. We ask that everyone who will be living with the pet attend the meeting. Also, if you have an existing dog, for a dog we might ask that you bring him/her along for an introduction.

4) Home check: While a home visit is required prior to final placement, it does not guarantee adoption. We like to see where our pets will be living to make sure that they will be in a safe and secure environment. Often we can help with unforeseen health risks and help secure yards and fences that first time owners might miss.

5) Adoption contract: The adoption contract is a binding agreement between the adopter and our rescue group. If, for any reason, the adoption of one of our pets DOES NOT work out, you MUST return the animal to The Rescue Train. We are always here for our animals, no matter what.

6) Tax deductible donation. There is a minimum tax deductible donation of $250 per dog and $125 per cat. Each pet is spayed/neutered, vaccinated*, and microchipped. In most cases, we have already spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on vet bills, boarding and training for each pet. The donation helps us recoup a small fraction of that cost.

*In the case of puppies and kittens, additional rounds of shots might be required.

Many dogs that come to us need training. We are one of the few groups that obedience train the majority of our rescue dogs. Our intensive training program would cost the average pet owner hundreds of dollars. Part of our $250 dog adoption agreement, for dogs who require training, is that their adoptive parents have a mandatory free private training session before the dog can go home.

7) Delivery of your new family member: We come with education and helpful hints to help things go smoothly and take the guess work out of what to expect when bringing your new pet home. Each pet has a team of people behind him/her and we are here to be a support system if you should need us.
