Meet Hazel, the resilient soul who’s ready to fill your heart with warmth and laughter! 🌟 This gorgeous girl is not just any dog; she's a beacon of hope and love, having overcome a challenging early life. 🎉 At just a few weeks old, she faced unimaginable hardships as part of a court case concerning abuse and neglect. But fear not! In April 2023, Hazel, along with two of her siblings, found her way into a loving foster home. And boy, has she blossomed! 🌺 Now at 2 years old and weighing a delightful 50 pounds, Hazel is a spayed, up-to-date darling who brings joy wherever she goes. She’s heartworm negative and diligently crate trained—snoozing like a champ for a full 8 hours without a peep! 🙌 Imagine sharing a couch with her as you binge-watch your favorite shows—she's a cuddler who loves to be close to her people. Hazel knows her basic commands like a superstar! Whether it’s “Sit,” “Wait,” or “Treat,” she’s ready to impress! 🐾 This medium-energy gal loves her daily walks around the neighborhood, showing off her amazing leash manners while she takes in all the sights, smells, and juicy squirrel chases. Just a heads-up: keep an eye on those squirrels! 🐿️ While Hazel adores those she knows, she’s a bit shy with new faces. She likes to take her time—slow and steady wins the race! 🐢 Being food motivated makes training easier, which is perfect because this girl dreams of a home with love and patience. 🌈 A fenced yard would be a dream come true for her, where she can stretch her legs and play ball. But if you’re an on-the-go adopter with a few brisk walks up your sleeve (1.5-2 miles a day), that works too! Hazel would thrive as the only dog, or with a canine buddy who matches her gentle vibes. All this sweet girl wants is the warmth of loving people around her. She has shown incredible strength through adversity and now deserves a forever home where she can continue to shine and spread joy. 💖 If you’re ready to welcome Hazel into your life, be heartened: you can easily apply through the Buddy App! Let’s help this lovable girl find the love she truly deserves! 🐶💞
