About Hazel

Hazel is a delightful 4-year-old spayed Miniature Poodle, weighing just 6 pounds. Rescued from a breeding situation, she’s still discovering what it means to be loved and cared for. With little exposure to human interactions, Hazel comes across as shy and uncertain at first, but she really warms up to gentle rubs and tasty treats. Currently working on potty training and leash walking, she's making steady progress with her sister Truffle alongside her. Hazel thrives in a calm environment where someone is around most of the time. Alternatively, having a confident dog companion can also aid in her adjustment. She’s living with a small pack of dogs, and they all get along harmoniously without any aggressive behaviors. This gentle soul just needs time, patience, and plenty of affection to come out of her shell. With the right support, Hazel can transform into a playful and loving companion. She doesn't require a flawless home but a special person who is willing to invest in her journey. Could you be the one to show her the wonderful life she’s been waiting for?
