11/15/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/15/15 Basic info Hazely A1058011 is a 5 yr. old female tan American pit boxer mix who was surrendered by her owner due to living conditions. She has been with her family since she was a puppy and was last seen by a vet a year ago. Socialization Hazely was described as very friendly with strangers often greeting them with kisses. Hazely was described as being territorial of her kennel and would growl and bark to whomever approached it that she wasnt familiar with,but would warm up to strangers once out of the kennel. She lived with two children ages 1 and 6 and was said to be extremely tolerant of them. Hazely played gently with both children and enjoyed playing tag with them. She was said to have enjoyed games of tug of war with her owner and would always be seen playing with her squeaky toys. Hazely was said to be tolerant of other dogs, she would be a bit shy at first but would try and play with them soon after. Behavior Hazely enjoys baths, nail trimmings and was said to fall asleep while having her coat brushed. Hazely allowed for people to play with her toys and didnt mind the food bowl bein taken while eating. For a new family to know Hazely was described as extremely friendly but would be weary of strangers around the children and her kennel. Once greeted by the stranger she would resume back to wagging tail and open mouth. She has a medium activity level and loves to follow the children around the house. Her favorite toys include squeaky toys and Large ropes which she would have long tug matches with her previous owner. She understands commands such as sit, stay and come. Hazely is house trained and will only use the bathroom outside. She pulls lightly on the leash and stays close to you when off leash. She prefers to eat both wet and dry food (pedigree). During intake Hazely greeted staff with loose wiggly body, wagging tail and open mouth. She allowed staff to scan (-), collar and Photograph her. She walked right into her kennel but once kennel door was closed she began to whine and bark. As she sat in the kennel for a while she began to growl and show teeth to whoever would get close meanwhile maintaining a wagging tail and averted eyes. After being taken out of the kennel she was back to her loose body wagging tail with open mouth and soliciting attention from staff.

11/17/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Surrendered as her person changed jobs and was no longer able to keep her, this chunky monkey was delighted to be out for a walk and make a new friend. She peed a flood as soon as we got to the park, has great leash manners, and snubbed her nose at both my treats, perhaps being used to better! Sniffing her new surroundings in order to learn about them, she’s calm and easy and a delight to spend time with. Coming into my lap for some hugs and kisses, Hazel finally gave me a big smile. Hazel has been with her family since she was a wee young thing so is understandably stressed at being without them. She lived with two children, ages 1 and 6 and played gently with both, enjoys baths and nail trimmings, falls asleep when getting brushed, loves squeaky toys and large rope toys, is housetrained (check and double check), and is friendly to strangers. She can be protective of her crate when strangers approach, but once out of her crate is fine. Hazel takes time to warm up to other dogs, but once she knows them she will try and play with them. I enjoyed meeting Hazel and admire her bravery and willingness to make new friends in this unfamiliar environment. As we walked I spoke to her of course, and Hazel’s tail would wag in acknowledgement of our conversation. She’s sweet, gentle and trying to make the best of her new life. A proven family dog, Miss Hazel is ready to begin the rest of her life with a new family. Come meet her today.
