Poor little Hazel was a stray and ended up at the shelter in the summer, one of the worst times of year to be there. It's a miracle that dogs survive being lost and hungry, only to end up at a shelter where they have only a few days to be found and claimed.

We don't know if Hazel's owners couldn't find her or simply let her out the door. We would like to think she somehow escaped or was separated from loving owners, because Hazel has a great personality and falls over with wiggles when she sees you. Someone treated her kindly, and for sure she is a happy, well-adjusted teenager.

When Hazel's stray time at the shelter was up, and we had a choice...or rather no choice, as we weren't going to let Hazel's life end as if she never existed. So if you're seeking a very loving pup, full of potential and joy, you're going to fall in love with Hazel!
