About Hazel

Meet Hazel, a sweet girl seeking a patient and understanding forever home. She has had a tough start to life, having been trapped alongside her friend Linus after facing many challenges. A timid soul, Hazel is still learning to trust humans, and she comes to you with the need for kindness and patience. Hazel needs a tranquil household, free from the chaos of young children, ideally with one or more confident dogs to guide her as she settles in. She thrives in a calm environment where she can build her confidence at her own pace. With a history of being fearful around unfamiliar people, she must feel safe and secure in her surroundings. Adopting Hazel means understanding that this journey will take time. She requires ongoing socialization and gentle training, as building trust with her might take a while. A supportive caregiver who will respect her boundaries and encourage her without rushing interactions is essential. Her successful adjustment will depend on a secure environment, constant supervision, and a whole lot of love. At Wilton Animal Rescue, we believe Hazel deserves a chance to feel safe and loved.
