About Haizly

Haizly is a gentle, pretty dog with a calm way about her, but she can be shy when first meeting new people. Once she feels safe, though, her affectionate side shines—she loves attention and lights up for treats. Every now and then she unleashes a burst of playful energy with her signature zoomies. Haizly came to rescue after being found under a truck, hesitant but unable to resist a food offer. While at the vet, it was discovered she had been shot with a .22 rifle; the injury was cleaned and she is now healing on medication. A foster home gave her a safe place to decompress, and revealed Haizly is house trained, rides calmly in the car, and walks well on a leash. She got along with her foster's dogs after a proper introduction. Now spayed and fully vaccinated, Haizly is ready for a home where she’s loved, cherished, and protected. She’s about 4-5 years old and waiting in Sand Springs, OK, with years of loyalty ahead. Your new best friend is just one click away.
