Hazel is a sweet athletic young lady with a lot of love to give. Hazel was an abandoned dog in a remote rural area. She took up residence under the stairs of a dog loving Elder. The Elder asked if we could take the little dog into rescue as the pooch was homeless, pregnant and it was very cold. The Good Samaritan has stayed in touch with PUP, making regular inquiries about how she is getting along. Very well, thank you. Hazel is a beautiful girl who has been a devoted mommy but is ready to pass on the responsibility to someone else. We had DNA testing done on one pup from the litter. Based on that testing we got Hazel’s DNA. She is Chihuahua, Siberian Husky, Australian Cattle dog, and German Shepherd. She weighs about 30# and is remarkably agile. If someone is looking for a dog to train in agility, Hazel might be your pooch. Check out the video linked at the end of the bio. The area where she came from had many loose and stray dogs so she was accustomed to that environment, but her Good Samaritan said she acted fearful there. In her Saint Paul home she has gotten along well with the resident dog, but is slow to meet new dogs. We suspect she would be happiest in a one dog family. She is careful meeting new people and it takes her a few minutes to warm up. Before her pups were born Hazel appeared to be fully house broken. After the pups arrived things broke down a bit for her and her adopter will need to work with her, likely using a crate when she is left unattended for a long period of time. She can pull on walks and a no pull harness would be desirable. Rabbits beware. We suspect she will deal with any mice you might have in your home or yard too. The pregnancy did a real number on Hazel's coat and it thinned out significatly, but is now coming back in. She looks just fine, but we are all glad it is summer coming, not winter. Hazel has been vet checked, is vaccinated, and de-wormed. We do place dogs outside the metro area if a firm plan for the alter surgery is in place; we do not ship. PUP will pay for Hazel’s spay if it is done at a PUP clinic. It should be done about a month after she has stopped nursing. If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a dog, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. We are pretty slow at responding to e-mail. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a dog. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested. Hazel can be seen and adopted now but leave when her pups are adopted.
