Notes from Starfish Animal Rescue

Meet Hazel!

Hazel is a sweet, smart, treat-motivated 2 yr old girl who is ready to find her forever family! At approximately 2 years old and around 45 pounds, Hazel is a medium-large German Shepherd mix (best guess) with plenty of personality and lots of love to give.

Hazel loves her people, including kids, and her favorite things include treats, cuddles, zooming around the backyard, spending time with her humans, and keeping an eye on the house. She’s a smart girl who is eager to please and very trainable when treats are involved! She is still working on her manners and may need a reminder not to jump up when she gets excited to see someone.

Hazel is potty trained, does well on a leash, and is comfortable sleeping in a crate, although she’d much rather be close to her people.

One important thing to know about Hazel is that she has a strong prey drive and does not do well with small animals, including small dogs. She will do best in a home without small pets. With slow, appropriate introductions, she can do well with dogs who are similar in size or larger.

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate girl who will happily trade cuddles and companionship for a few tasty treats, Hazel may be your perfect match!

If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will be in touch!

The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip,

age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure

a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

*Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
