Hazel Whippet & Hound Mix Bethel, CT

Meet Hazel, a gorgeous one-year-old, 36 lb. whippet/hound mix (our best guess anyway) with the most stunning coat and golden eyes. This sweet girl was recently abandoned by her former owner and dumped at the shelter after hours. They left Hazel in a yard that only had a four-foot-high fence, mere steps away from a busy highway. The reason? She was the youngest dog they had and her owner “didn’t have time for her.” As expected, Hazel was very sad and confused in the shelter so we wanted to give her a second chance at finding happiness and rescued her.

Despite everything that she has been through, Hazel is super sweet and LOVES head scratches, pets, cuddles, and will show/tell you when she wants her chest or tummy rubbed. She is also known to give kisses to show how much she loves and appreciates you. Hazel has a nice medium energy level and is always happy to go on walks or hang out and relax on the couch with you. Squeaky toys and benebones are her favorite and she loves her playtime.

In Hazel’s former home, she lived with other dogs and children so she will make a great family dog! Since we've had her, she has done amazing at our events meeting countless people of all ages. Hazel is very smart, knows a variety of commands, and highly food-motivated, making her a fast learner. She recently had a session with our trainer and did great! She walks perfectly on leash and is both house and cratetrained. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal. We can’t change Hazel’s past, but we most certainly will ensure her future is nothing but one filled with the love that she deserves.

Her adoption fee is $400 and Hazel is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and spayed. If you are interested in adopting this lovely lady, please complete the application at form.jotform.com/200883908893166. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.
