Story

We got hazel from a humane society shes a great cuddle dog, she does have some needs as she guards food and doesnt get along with many dogs. We do have another dog but we have worked with her for a while on getting along with him. She needs an experienced owner and would be better off with no kids and no other dogs unless you are willing to work on separating and building a bond with the other dog. We can no longer keep her as shes shown aggression on food and a serious interest in our youngest daughter that could lead to some nipping.

Story

Meet These Sweet Sisters! ❤️ These adorable sisters have already overcome so much in their young lives. They were rescued from the streets of Gary, Indiana, where they were found emaciated and covered in fleas and ticks. Thanks to the kindness and dedication of a few incredible animal lovers, they were brought into foster care, where they've received the medical attention, nutritious food, and, most importantly, the love they deserved. Despite their difficult beginning, these girls haven't let their past define them. They are incredibly sweet, affectionate, and love to cuddle. They may greet new people with a few cautious barks at first, but it doesn't take long before they're asking for pets and attention from everyone they meet. These sisters absolutely adore each other. They spend their days running, wrestling, playing tug-of-war, and keeping each other entertained. They also love playing with the resident dogs in their foster home and, after a slow introduction, have even become friends with the family cat! They're still working on potty training, but they're doing wonderfully. As long as they're taken outside regularly—especially after eating and drinking—they have very few accidents. They're also highly food-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding (just be sure not to leave the treat bag where they can reach it—they're smart girls!). They are also crate trained. With a little continued guidance and consistency, these sisters are going to make amazing family companions. Whether you're looking to add two built-in best friends to your home or searching for playful companions for your resident dog, these girls are ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and endless tail wags. Their rough start is behind them, and now all they're looking for is a forever family to give them the happy ending they deserve. Could that be you?
