Hazel - Local Foster

Fill out an adoption form

Hazel, a stunning and spirited pup, is the epitome of beauty and charm. Residing in New England and currently under foster care, she’s a 55lb, 4-5 year old with an enchanting allure that mere photos can’t capture. Sporting a unique coat and captivating dark eyeliner, she’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Once in need of medical attention due to wounds, Hazel has now fully recovered and is bursting with vitality, eagerly seeking affection and companionship. Her foster family describes her as a delightful goofball, with an insatiable love for playtime, cuddles, and sharing snacks on the couch. Renowned for her unparalleled snuggling skills, she’s a canine cuddle champion.

With a medium/somewhat moderate energy level, Hazel thrives on outdoor adventures and physical activities, making her an ideal hiking or running partner. She’s even shown promise as a biking companion, proving her adaptability and resilience in the face of distractions. (see video)

Fully house-trained and crate-trained, Hazel appreciates her cozy crate as a retreat for relaxation. While she may need some guidance with leash manners, she’s responsive to corrections and has shown significant progress since her arrival.

Gentle and sweet with other dogs, especially when introduced gradually, she’s displayed remarkable patience and kindness, even with a foster puppy. However, in theory, we think she likes being alone in the home as she likes her “things.”

Hazel’s affectionate nature and eagerness to please shine through. With the right guidance and support, she promises to blossom into an exemplary canine companion, offering unwavering loyalty and boundless love to her forever family. If you’re ready to welcome a devoted and beautiful addition to your home, Hazel is the perfect match.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
