Hazel is an very affectionate dog we often find her snuggled up with our cats or playing with our child. She loves being going on walks and being outside. Hazel is a sweet and active girl who’s full of love and life! She’s crate trained but she hasn't needed or wanted to in years. Hazel adores attention and is happy to be petted anywhere, by anyone. She’s also a total snuggle bug who will always wiggle into her favorite spot, right next to you! She's a smart girl knows all the classics: Sit, Stay, Down, Treat/Cookie, Come, and Leave It. She loves her Kong toys and enjoys playtime just as much as cuddle time. Hazel gets along wonderfully with men, women, kids, dogs, cats, and even small animals. If she's unfamiliar with another animal, she will be standoffish. It doesn’t take long for her loving personality to shine through and a new friend to be made. She's a great girl who needs and active family!

Story
Ruger is a purebred registered Laborador Retriever that is trained to sit and retrieve balls and birds. He is a fun-loving, people adoring dog, who loves love! He enjoys most to be petted and snuggled with either by kids or adults as he loves them all the same! With our busy family schedule, we do not have the time to devote to Ruger that he needs and deserves, therefore, we have elected to put him up for adoption. It is most important to us for him to go to a good home!
