hazel

Hazel is a sweet 4-year-old, 6 pound spayed and vaccinated Miniature Poodle who was rescued from a breeder and is now learning what it means to be loved and cared for. Sadly, Hazel has had very little human handling throughout her life, so she is understandably shy, and unsure of the world around her, but once she knows you're safe, she melts for rubs and treats.

She's working on potty training and leash walking just like her sister Truffle, making a little progress every day. All she needs is a patient person and a few snacks to win her heart.

Hazel would do best in a quiet, patient home where someone is home most of the time, or with a confident companion dog who can help show her the ropes. She is currently being fostered with her friend Truffle, another very shy former breeding dog along with several other small dogs. Everyone gets along wonderfully, with no displays of aggression.

Although Hazel is still finding her confidence, her underlying personality is already beginning to shine through. She is a gentle, sweet girl who simply needs time, patience, understanding, and lots of love.

Just like her friend Truffle, Hazel is truly another diamond in the ruff. With the right person by her side, we believe this timid girl could blossom into a playful, affectionate, and loving companion.

Hazel doesn’t need a perfect home — she needs a special person who will give her the time she deserves and never give up on her.

Could you be the one to help Hazel discover the wonderful life she has been waiting for?
