Hazelnut

Meet Hazelnut! About a two years old, Hazy came into our rescue after being found as a skinny stray. She is currently living in a foster home and has filled out nicely - her coat is even so much softer! Hazelnut is getting along just fine with the chihuahua in the home but after a few weeks of trying to acclimate to the kitties, we think it's best if she live in a home without feline companions. She does grumble a bit when the other dog in the home comes too close during dinner time, but that's okay - she just needs a little more space to enjoy her food and higher value treats. <br/><br/>Hazy is a good walker and is working on controlling her impulses around other dogs and little critters out in the neighborhood. She will absolutely benefit from spending some time in a training class, which we recommend for all of our pups and even include a sponsorship for a training voucher. Still a young pup, Hazelnut playful and silly, quite a charming little doggie. She will be a loving and snuggly companion in her future home, and indeed she is quite the little furnace when she snuggles up to you - perfect for the cold winter months. She's got the cutest wrinkly face and sometimes her upper lip gets stuck behind her teeth on one side. Adorable.<br/><br/>One thing potential adopters should know in advance is that Hazelnut did show some hip dysplasia and a luxating patella in one knee during an x-ray taken on her spay day. This is a genetic disposition and absolutely manageable - as long as she is kept lean, gets regular low-impact exercise (regular walks, some suggested PT moves, maybe varied things like hiking or swimming in the warmer months), and takes some joint supplements like chrondontin she can live a normal happy life. Our vet did recommend she avoid doing too many stairs or higher-intensity activities.<br/><br/>Interested in meeting Ms. Hazel?
