Story
Meet Hazel!
Hazel is a beautiful 4-year-old Pomeranian looking for a patient and understanding family willing to give her the time she needs to blossom. She came into rescue alongside her Maltese/Shih Tzu mix sister, Penelope, after their owner was no longer able to care for them. Like her sister, Hazel arrived with overgrown nails and an unkempt coat, but with proper care and attention, she is feeling much more comfortable and ready for her next chapter.
Hazel is a sweet girl, but she can be hesitant around new people and unfamiliar situations. She isn't the type to immediately jump into your lap and shower you with affection. Instead, she prefers to take her time, observe from a safe distance, and build trust at her own pace. Because of this, Hazel would do best in an adult-only home with a patient family that understands the importance of allowing a dog the time and space to decompress and settle into a new environment.
Once Hazel learns that she is safe, her loving and loyal personality begins to shine. She forms strong bonds with her people and enjoys being close to those she trusts. She is food and treat motivated, which can be a helpful tool in continuing to build her confidence and strengthen her connection with her new family.
Hazel does well with other dogs and does not seem to mind cats. She has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners and continues to adjust to a routine in foster care. While she is not a big fan of being crated, she is learning that consistency and patience go a long way.
Hazel will require regular grooming throughout her life to keep her coat healthy and comfortable. She is not a good fit for a tether or invisible fence and will require a secure physical fenced yard where she can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors.
Hazel is searching for a special family willing to see beyond her initial shyness and appreciate the devoted companion she becomes once she feels secure. If you have a calm home, a patient heart, and are willing to let Hazel move at her own pace, you'll be rewarded with a loyal friend who will love you furever.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
