Description:
Hazel is looking for her second chance! She was adopted to a loving family, but sadly, her family has had to made the difficult decision to surrender her due to severe allergies.
The wonderful news is that this girl is an absolute sweetheart! Her family describes her as one of the sweetest and most gentle dogs they have ever met. She is affectionate, cuddly, loves belly rubs, and is incredibly well-mannered. She hardly ever barks! A bit of a couch potato, she enjoys relaxing with her favorite people but also loves exploring outside, going for car rides, and chasing the kids around the yard. She has a lovely balance of a calm, laid-back personality and a playful side.
She is good with children, dogs, and cats, making her a wonderful addition to almost any loving home. This gentle girl has so much love to give! Could you be the one to give this sweet girl her second chance?
*Hazel has a luxating patella that has been noted by her veterinarian prior to coming back into rescue. While surgical correction may be recommended in the future, it is not currently planned. Her future family should be aware of this and discuss any changes in her condition or potential treatment options with their veterinarian*
Adoption Fee: $450
We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433
***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.
Our Weight Classes are as follows:
0- 25lbs - Small
26- 45lbs - Medium
46-89 - Large
90+ X-large
If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:
Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.
If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days.
Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.
If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.
If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.
