​

Hazel is a special girl. She is a tripod, a total love bug, and enjoys lots or rubs and affection. She does need to get to know new people, but once you are accepted, you are pals for life. She gets overwhelmed by stimulus, lots of people, other animals, etc. - so a quiet home would be her ideal. She can get reactive when overstimulated and would love a dog savvy owner to help her work through this.

Background: Rescued by Wake County Shelter with an injury to front left leg. BARK took her in and provided medical treatment, the amputation of the leg.

Are they good with:
Dogs: Some dogs. It needs to be the right personality, she prefers big dumb boys. But probably would do best in a house with no other animals.
Cats: No
Children: No

Are they good in a car? Yes

Are they good on leash? Yes

Are they house trained? Yes. She also does well in a crate.

Energy level: Initial excitement gives high energy, but she is mostly chill and relaxed.

Quirks: Nips at hands/fingers. Obsessed with ball. Smart. Talker. Does not like some men/people.

Tricks I know: Sit, shake, high-five, lay down, & give kisses!

Favorite things: Ball, fetch, kongs, rubs, and sunbathing!

Health issues: 3 legs, but that doesn’t stop her!

Best home environment: Hazel would do best with a single person or a couple with no children. Would be best as an only pet so she can get ALL the love! She would love love love a fenced in back yard where she could sunbathe! Apartment life has proved a little too stressful for her in the past and she would do best with a home that has some outdoor space she can call her own.
