Meet #Adoptable Hazel

As often as possible, we'll be volunteering to walk/hike/kayak with #adoptable dogs and promote their story on social media. This is Hazel's story:

This is Hazel. She is approximately 9 months old and currently residing at Lincoln County Humane Society in Merrill WI due to being previously homeless. We picked up this silly girl to take her on a volunteer walk around her neighborhood. She was not expecting visitors, but seemed glad to go along with us. We took her out to the car to get her suited up with an appropriate walking harness (which didn’t quite fit her petite frame), but she jumped into the car like she knew what she was doing and was ready to go for a ride instead of a walk. Since we were only approved for walking on this particular day, we lured her out of the car with a few treats. Hazel is a smart dog and seemed to understand the agenda after that.

For a previously homeless dog, she knows how to make friends quickly. She was happy to meet all kinds of people on our walk and greeted everyone like good friends. When we came across birds feeding at a neighborhood bird feeder, she got very excited and jumped onto a snowbank twice her height to greet them too! If given the chance, I think she would definitely chase birds and probably squirrels too.

The busy street we walked along didn’t seem to bother her at all. She was just happy to be outside and getting some exercise. Hazel walks really well on a leash and every so often would turn her head to check on us to make sure we were still coming along. We stopped a few times to snuggle her sweet face and admire her curly tail. She was more than happy to soak up the love and eat some treats. I’m pretty sure she’d be a good snuggle buddy on the couch at home too. 

Hazel has a pair of the most expressive ears I’ve ever seen. She wears them all kinds of ways… up, down, backwards and sideways. There's no doubt that she is a beautiful little charmer and completely adorable in every way, but her ears are definitely my favorite feature!

When we found a big empty parking lot to run around in, she got very excited. Hazel scooped up snow in her mouth and got a small case of the zoomies, which was a little complicated since she was attached to one of us via a leash. This little girl has lots of energy and would love a dedicated playmate to take her on walks and hikes.

If you are interested in this silly loveable girl, you can find her hanging out at Lincoln County Humane Society. But with her sweet demeanor and good manners, I don’t think she’ll last long.
