HI!  My name is Hazel Hound.  I am a 4 year old female hound.  I am a shy girl.  I have just started coming out of my shell at my fosters house.  The first day that my foster had me, I stayed on the dog bed in the living room and only left it when I was put outside.  When I went outside, my foster mom had a hard time getting me to come back in (can you blame me, she was a stranger).  But, she was VERY patient with me and now I seek her and the rest of my foster family out for loves and cuddles.  In fact, I want to be with them all the time.  All this in under one week!

I am house and crate trained.  While I have been here I have learned to use a door that is just for me and the other dogs.  Imagine that, our own door!  But, I didn't have any accidents even before I figured out the door, so if you don't have one that is cool too.

I have two foster siblings that I love.  OK, I love one and the other I tolerate.  As far as my fosters have seen, I am good with all dogs, cats and people.  Although, because of my timidness, older kids (10 and up) would be better.  

I love walks, and am starting to do pretty good on a leash.  Walks have really built up my confidence.  Training classes would also help a lot.  When it comes to other tricks, I am a pretty blank slate.  It is obvious no one has ever tried to teach me anything in my past.  But my foster mom says I am a really quick learner.  She says that it helps that I am SUPER treat motivated.  I'm not sure what that means, but I do know that I LOVE treats!

If I sound like I would be a good addition to your family, apply at rescuerovers.org to meet me.
