Gimme’ Shelter: Hazel here! At the RI SPCA – Cheryl Tudino

Cheryl Tudino, RISPCA
Hi there, I’m Cheryl, a volunteer at the RISPCA in Warwick-dog walker, treat dispenser, and part-time hype woman for our adoptable pups.
Meet Hazel! 
This playful young pup is bursting with personality and joy. At just 15 months old, Hazel is 100% organic energy, with zero artificial additives. She is full of zip and loves her toys, whether it’s a game of fetch or tossing around her squeaky toy, She is always ready to play, and trust us, this girl brings the fun to the party.
With her beautiful tan coat and soft, velvety fur, she is just as sweet to pet as she is to cuddle. She is the definition of organic beauty: all-natural glow-up, no filters, no fillers, no nonsense-just pure wholesome, earth grown-‘pawfection’ that makes you think, “Dang, nature really nailed it with this sweet gal.”
Hazel is a smart cookie (or should we say smart ‘halzelnut’?) who already knows a variety of commands, including “sit,” “paw,” “spin,” “stay,” and “wait”-and she is currently working on mastering “down.” She is probably too busy being up for adventure to bother with “down” right now. She is very food-motivated, so continued training will be fun for her and her future BFF.
Hazel would do best in a home as the only dog. She would do well with older, dog savvy teens who can respect her boundaries-think chill vibes only, no drama. We are not sure how she feels about cats, so any introductions to new feline friends should be done slowly and thoughtfully…like cracking open a fresh hazelnut. No rushing the organic friendship process.
If you are looking for a fun-loving, trainable, and ridiculously affectionate BFF who will keep you smiling, active, and slightly covered in zoomie-induced dust, Hazel is your perfect match. She is organic beauty at its finest: naturally radiant, irresistibly charming, and ready to root herself deep into your heart forever.
