Hazel's Story

Meet Miss Hazel <br/><br/>Miss Hazel is a fantastic 8-year-old, 17-pound Dachshund mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She's a talkative, happy-go-lucky girl who still acts like a puppy at times and absolutely loves people. Wherever her person is, that's exactly where Hazel wants to be—curled up on the couch, cuddling in bed, or right by your side.<br/><br/>Hazel is wonderful with other dogs and cats and especially loves kitties. She is incredibly sweet and truly a rescue favorite. Hazel has that rare quality of being instantly everyone's friend, which is even more special considering everything she's been through.<br/><br/>Hazel does have a slight heart murmur that requires no medication, but we feel it's important to mention. She was neglected for quite some time before coming to us and arrived with significant skin and yeast infections. She is healing slowly but beautifully, and her fur is doing a fantastic job growing back, though it may always be thin in some areas. She may need occasional vet visits in the future to address possible allergies, but it's hard to know for sure at this point.<br/><br/>We plan to have Hazel spayed soon and chose to wait so she could heal a bit more first.<br/><br/>Hazel would do best in a home where she gets plenty of attention and is treated like the queen she is. She thrives on love, companionship, and being part of her person's everyday life. Despite all she has experienced, Hazel remains friendly, outgoing, resilient, and full of love.<br/><br/>No doubt whoever adopts Hazel will be incredibly lucky to share life with this special girl. If you're ready to welcome Hazel into your home and give her the love she deserves, please feel free to apply. <br/><br/> Location & Adoption Requirements – Please Read Carefully<br/>We are located out of Bonifay, Florida and are a foster-based rescue.<br/> We do not have a physical location.<br/> Fenced Yard Requirement<br/>All dogs require a securely fenced yard.<br/>This is a requirement, not a suggestion, and exceptions are not made.<br/>‍‍ Children in the Home<br/>Unless otherwise specified, our dogs are available to homes with children ages 13 and older.<br/>We often take in timid and sensitive dogs, and each dog's behavior, history, and comfort level is carefully evaluated to ensure the best match.<br/> Pickup & Adoption Area<br/>• All dogs must be picked up in person<br/>• No transport available<br/>• We adopt within a few hours of Bonifay, Florida<br/>These guidelines are in place to protect our dogs and ensure successful, lifelong placements.<br/>Thank you for understanding and respecting our adoption process.

Sammy's Hope Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please read before submitting an application We do require a approved application for meet and greets. Why? Because otherwise we would be meeting with people who we would not adopt to and it would use a lot of time and resources for no reason. Since I do 99.9% of the meet n greets it's my time and gas. :) Remember we do not have a facility. We are foster based. We do require a fenced yard. Why? Because dogs deserve a safe open area to play in off leash. We do not expect dogs to be left alone in the yard or to be outside dogs. I often hear that. That is not why we require a fence. We do realize this will exclude some people. It is still a requirement. Dog parks are not considered a fenced yard. They can be a very dangerous place for a pup. We also require a home check. Why? Because we want to make sure the home is a safe environment. You would be surprised what I have seen. I could care less if your home is spotless. It should be safe though. If money is a issue please address that before all other steps are taken. Adoption fees are required to keep the rescue open. We only exist because of adoption fees and donations. We are a small rescue with limited funds. Adoptions are never ever first come first serve. Applications are accepted until we get a good match. It may take 1 application for that and it may take 10. We are trying the very best we can to get forever homes not right now homes. Oftentimes people do not research breeds before applying and are not the best match. We adopt within 2 to 3 hours of Bonifay, Florida. If you have questions about a dog comments are missed so please message the page, call 850-280-3960, or email sammyshope@aol.com.
