Story
Hello I’d like you to meet Hazel. I’ve had her for 10 years so she grew up with me. She is fully house trained, she’s always been a in house pet she doesn’t do well as an outside pet. She is old so she’s not as active but she loves to lay outside in the sun. She gets along with other dog mostly small breeds and she love kids. Also, her favorite spot to be scratch is on her backside close to her butt. I’m currently going through some financial issues and I’m unable to properly care for her and would love to find her a new home.

Story
She is the sweetest little 5.5yo doggie girl. Willow gets excitement tinkles(hence the pretty skirt indoors)however she is potty trained. Like most beagles she gets "stink ear" when we rescued her, she had an ear infection so severe it caused permanent scarring in one ear. She is good with other dogs, We think she would do really well with some company. She has been. Around our 2 year old god daughter, and has has never nipped or bit. She is not fond of her either. She runs to her kennel. She is kennel trained, and loves to be outside walking, lounging in the sun and sun bath. She loves cuddles and she is not a barker. She treat motivated and loves pup cups. She has winter clothes, blankets, kennel and other accessories that will follow her. We're trying to find someone that will love her as much as she loves her human and find that Furever Home.
