Hazelnut's Story
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 does live in a home with another dog and some cats, and after two months of coexisting we feel confident asking for her to be adopted as an only dog, the only pet companion in the home. We tried but this petite little thing has a big prey drive when it comes to kitties and all woodland creatures.<br/><br/>Hazy loves to walk, she is especially interested in spotting the local wildlife, and actively improving her manners with some consistent positive enforcement. In fact, Hazel 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 is 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 glucosamine she can live a normal happy life. Our vet did recommend she avoid doing too many stairs or higher-intensity activities, although try telling her that!<br/><br/>Interested in meeting Hazelnut?
