Hazel

Introducing.. Hazel! Hazel was a terrified girl that was rescued from a shelter in Romania. The photos that we received of her, she was wide eyed and absolutely frozen in fear. During her time with us, this girl has already come so far. She spent months being too scared to take treats from us and would always wait until we were no longer around to eat them, strokes were an absolute no go as you could tell by the fear in her eyes that she always thought something bad was going to happen. These days, Hazel will now happily take treats from our hands, although she can still flinch if we move slightly too quickly, and she loves nothing more than strokes and fusses. She stands and waits patiently in her kennel for her time to have some 1-1 with our volunteers. As she is starting to do so well with people, we have changed her rehoming criterea from needing to live with another dog for confidence to now believing that she would cope absolutely fine as an only dog in the home. Hazel has lots of dog friends at the rescue, male and female. She definately prefers the boys in her life but can be very selective of the females. Hazel has been cat tested, there was no prey drive shown but Hazel was extremely fearful and physically shaking. She was avoiding eye contact with the cat for most of the meet but she did have a gentle little sniff. Any meets in the home with a resident cat need to be done slowly to build Hazel up for success. Children: 14+. Other dogs: Yes, must be of similar size or larger - prefers male dogs. Cats: Yes.
