Hazel was heavily pregnant when her previous owners abandoned her at California’s Porterville Animal Shelter. The facility is open-admission, meaning they cannot turn animals away. Unfortunately, this also means they must euthanize when space runs out.
While puppies have an excellent chance of getting adopted, the same is not always true for mama dogs.
Thankfully for Hazel, the Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team (START) pulled her from the California kill shelter and sent her on a 780 mile journey to the Newberg Animal Shelter in Oregon.
Not only is Newberg a no-kill facility, they also have a higher number of eager adopters. According to her friends at START, she was “scooped up and adopted almost immediately!”
Hazel’s adoptive mom says:
“Hazel is the sweetest, most beautiful and perfect dog in the world! She is the perfect addition to our family. I can’t believe how much she has blossomed since we adopted her one month ago. She was so timid and frightened easily but is now loving life! She goes to the park every day and gives me such joy. We are a match made in Heaven.”
