About Hazel

Hazel is looking for a foster home where she can heal and recover from her severe allergies. Previously surrendered with her littermate, she hasn't received aggressive treatment for her condition, making a nurturing environment especially important for her. She is crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is a true couch potato who enjoys lounging around. Hazel gets along well with other dogs and is already using puppy pads in the home. To help her become more comfortable, she will require a special diet, monthly shots, and a couple of pills each day. She needs 1-2 baths weekly to manage her allergies. As a Shar-Pei, Hazel will show loyalty and affection to her guardian. If you can foster and give Hazel the care she needs, please reach out today!
