Story
Look at this beautiful 6-month old girl! Hazel’s adorable spotted face tells you she’s unique in every way. This joyful, playful, loving pup is ready to be a loyal member of your family. She is super cuddly and will happily receive snuggles as long as you’re wanting to give them. Then she’ll settle down on the floor by your feet and rest until you’re ready for the next adventure. She is very smart and so eager to please that she is easy to train. In just the first few days with us she has learned to sit, use the dog door, sleep in her crate, fetch, and toss her toys around to entertain herself. She will let you know if there’s any stranger danger outside and keep you guessing about what she may discover next. But she doesn’t chew much other than her toys and treats, and we’re working on her house training. Hazel will make a great dog for any family. She bonds quickly and also loves new people. She’s a gem you don’t want to miss! ##2792376##

Story
Ruthie is a sweet, gentle little senior looking for her forever home. She has a calm personality and has settled in beautifully with her foster family. She's almost completely housebroken (only one accident in the house), sleeps through the night on foster brother Jasper's bed, walks nicely on a leash, and is generally quiet, only sometimes barking when her people leave. Ruthie does well with other dogs when introductions are slow. And she's as cute as can be! You can email us with questions at rescue@harleysdream.org.
