About Hazel

Meet Hazel! This lively 15-week-old Maltese/Schnauzer mix may weigh just over 3 pounds, but she has the personality to fill any room. She joined us after her original family realized they couldn’t give her the time she needs for a young pup. Hazel is full of energy, earning her the nickname "Energizer Bunny" from her foster mom. With her playful spirit, she loves exploring and making new friends. Hazel would thrive in a home with a playful pup who can match her enthusiasm and help her burn off that excess energy. This little superstar has become a favorite at her foster mom’s workplace, soaking up attention from everyone around her. As she’s still learning about the world, she needs a family ready to embrace her curiosity and occasional mischief. With continued patience, she'll quickly pick up on potty training and basic commands, especially since she’s food motivated. If you’re searching for a compact companion bursting with energy, Hazel may just be the perfect match! Her adoption fee is $600, which includes age-appropriate vaccinations and a microchip. Her spay procedure is also covered and will take place when she’s older. Click apply to start the adoption process.
