Hi, I’m Hazey—part Dobie, part Pinscher, part baby deer, and part tiny life coach here to remind you that sunshine, snacks, and emotional support shoes are what really matter. â ̃€ï ̧ I’m a 6-month-old girl weighing about 20 pounds right now, and I’ll likely grow into a lovely medium-to-large lady someday.

I already know “sit,” I’m kennel trained, and I’m about 95% potty trained—so yes, I am basically a tiny scholar. I’m also very treat and food motivated, which means if you bring snacks, I am more than ready to further my education.

When I first meet new people, I can be shy and timid in a very gentle way. I’m much more likely to pancake onto the floor like a fuzzy little flapjack than do anything dramatic. Once I feel safe, I’m a very sweet, quiet girl who just likes being near her people without being needy or clingy.

I love finding a cozy corner to curl up in, but I also enjoy wandering around the backyard on my own little adventures. I’m independent, but I still like to check back in every so often just to make sure my humans are still around where I left them. I also take sunbathing in the grass very seriously—it’s one of my favorite hobbies. â ̃€ï ̧

I’m snuggly on my own terms, which means I prefer to make the first move in the cuddle department. I’d really love a home with another dog so I can have a sibling to help me build confidence and show me the ropes.

As for my hobbies, I have refined tastes. I love cheese, raspberries, and casually carrying shoes outside as if I’m curating a backyard boutique. Don’t worry—I don’t chew shoes. I just appreciate the same little luxuries in life that you do. Kitchen towels are also fair game, because apparently I am committed to keeping life interesting.

I’m sensitive about hearing “no,” so I’ll do best with gentle guidance, encouragement, and lots of praise when I get things right. The vacuum is not my favorite invention, but I can tolerate it from a respectful distance. My energy level is about a 4 out of 10, so I’m more sweet sidekick than chaos goblin.

If you’re looking for a gentle, funny, tenderhearted puppy with excellent snack priorities, a flair for footwear, and the potential to become your very best little shadow, I just might be your girl.

Yours truly,

Hazey
