File #24-212Current Foster Location: Kanata, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Hi there, Im Hazel! I have mesmerizing eyes and irresistible charm. If belly rubs were a currency, Id be rolling in it. Every morning, I grab my toy, wiggle out of my crate with my stuffy, and demand 10-15 minutes of snuggles on the couch or bed. I swear theres no better way to start a day! After that, were off for a walk to greet the world and then breakfast! My days are a mix of watching my foster human work (Im an excellent supervisor), playing tug-of-war, and plotting how to steal the bed or couch without an invite. Lets talk about my personality: Im affectionate, energetic, and lets be honest, a little sassy. Im a husky-shepherd mix, so Im smart and love testing boundaries. It's fun to see how far people will go for my gorgeous eyes. I also use the classic husky growl to express myselfwhether Im happy, annoyed, or just need a nap in my crate. I get along with submissive or chill dogs but prefer to be the star of the show in my home. Im friendly on walks, happy to say hi, but I do like my space when Im, uh, handling my business. Im curious about kids and did live with a cat before, but my prey drive means I might think small, fast-moving things are fun to chase. Have a backyard? I am an expert at playing fetch! What do I need? A home with structure, positive reinforcement, and husky-savvy humans who understand my flair for the dramatic. I promise, with the right toys, activities, and love, Ill be your snuggle bug and adventure buddy rolled into one.
