Hazel - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption

Hazel is a sweet, gentle 2-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix weighing about 15 pounds. She is wonderfully quiet and well-behaved in the home, and she's completely house-trained. Hazel is a little scared and is still learning that people can be trusted, so she'll need a patient family willing to let her come out of her shell at her own pace. She's already showing how smart she is-she's excellent at sitting and does very well with "come" when asked.

Hazel is gentle and hesitant, which makes her wonderful with both children and other dogs. She would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can build confidence and learn that she is safe. Hazel is not yet crate-trained, and she may occasionally have an accident or cry when crated, so her new family will need to continue working with her on this. With patience, kindness, and time, Hazel has all the makings of a deeply devoted little companion.
Hazel is being fostered in Helmetta, NJ and her adoption fee is $550.

To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
