Hazel's Story

Hazel is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu with the sweetest little face — and an adorable tongue that’s almost always peeking out. This mellow little lady weighs just 10 pounds and is looking for a loving, nurturing home where she can finally relax and be spoiled the way she deserves.<br/><br/>Hazel came to us from Lucas County Canine Care & Control after being found as a stray on the streets of Toledo. While we don’t know everything she’s been through, it’s clear she’s ready for a soft place to land and someone patient to love her.<br/><br/>Hazel is very quiet and easygoing. She enjoys lounging around, being held, and simply spending time near her people. She does have poor vision, so she can become startled if approached suddenly. Because of this, it’s important to gently let her know you are coming near her by speaking softly to her first.<br/><br/>She gets along fine with other calm dogs as long as they respect her space and aren’t constantly in her face. Hazel mostly keeps to herself and doesn’t interact much with the other dogs in her foster home. She may do okay with gentle children, but due to her timid nature and limited vision, we think an adult home or one with calm, respectful older children would be best.<br/><br/>Hazel is potty trained, has a calm demeanor, and is truly just a little couch potato looking for comfort and kindness. If you’re searching for a quiet companion to share your couch and your heart, Hazel may be your girl. <br/><br/>She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention and is micro chipped.<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $350<br/><br/>Please follow the link below for the adoption application. Note: all applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio.<br/><br/>http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
