We recently adopted Hazel from the San Clemete Animal Shelter, where she had lived for over a month. Miss Hazel is what they call a "Third Chance Dog" meaning the animal shelter we adopted her from got her from a high kill shelter in the area right before she was about to be put down. Knowing her as we do now, we know we are extremely lucky that someone saw her and got her out when they did.
Miss Hazel is sweet and loving, a little neurotic and a lot bossy. We think she is a Corgi/ Chihuahua mix, but whatever she is she has no idea that she is only 13.5lbs. Her big dog bark goes with her big dog attitude.
We very quickly discovered that she cannot see very well. It's not really an issue, we just need to be careful on night time walks. We also learned (not as quickly) that she has some pretty severe allergies, and a bad case of separation anxiety. We're working on the separation anxiety and working around the allergies. It's all worth it at the end of the day when she hops up in bed with me and dives under the covers.
We're not sure why anyone would pass up our little girl, but we're glad they did. She completes our little family.
