Available for Placement: Introducing Hazel 🤍 We are honored to present Hazel, a distinguished and remarkably affectionate two-year and three-month-old female Shih Tzu, currently awaiting her permanent placement. Hazel transitioned into our care due to an unforeseen and unfortunate change in her former owner’s medical circumstances, which regrettably made it impossible for them to continue providing for her. While such transitions can often be highly stressful for companion animals, Hazel has navigated this adjustment with extraordinary grace and resilience. Throughout her time in our transitional evaluation program, she has consistently displayed a highly adaptable nature, a deeply gentle temperament, and a sincere eagerness to connect with her human caretakers. Hazel is the epitome of a well-balanced canine citizen. She is innately people-oriented, offering a serene and calming presence within the home environment. Indoors, she is quietly affectionate, content to relax near her family without being overly demanding of attention. Outdoors, she maintains her polite demeanor, making her an exemplary companion for leisurely walks and daily exercise. She represents an ideal match for individuals or families seeking a harmonious, low-stress addition to their household. ✨ Physical Characteristics Aesthetically, Hazel is truly captivating. She boasts a luxuriously soft, pristine white coat that is beautifully accented by elegant, greyish-tan shading around her eyes and ears. These distinctive, symmetrical markings highlight her deeply expressive features and perfectly reflect the serene, intelligent disposition she carries with her every day. 📋 Comprehensive Behavioral Profile • Age Profile: 2 years, 3 months old (Young Adult) • Gender: Female • Disposition: Highly affectionate, exceptionally gentle, and thoroughly socialized with humans • Housebreaking: Fully house-trained with exemplary indoor manners • Crate Training: Proficiently crate-trained, viewing her enclosure as a safe and comfortable retreat • Leash Etiquette: Exhibits excellent leash manners, making outdoor excursions a pleasure rather than a chore • Obedience Foundation: Highly responsive to standard verbal directives, displaying an eagerness to please and an aptitude for continued training 📩 Adoption Protocol and Inquiries Our organization adheres to the highest standards of animal placement.
