Well, it is official! Hazel went to her Forever Home where she will be safe and where she will be loved and spoiled. We want to take this happy opportunity to thank all of you who helped Hazel be on her way with your generous donations towards Hazel's medial expenses, your prayers, well wishes and care packages. Without your caring hearts it would be a lot harder for us to save special dogs like Hazel. Good luck little Hazel! You deserve all the good things life has to offer and then some! The Good Dog! Rescue Staff & fellow Dogs PS: We will be posting follow up pictures of Hazel at the link/page below: Hazel and her new life September 14, 2007 Hazel with foster sister Silatuyok and foster brother Ducati    Update ~ September 10, 2007
Now that Hazel is well on her way to recovery, we are finally able to concentrate on finding
the perfect home for this perfect little girl. We are beginning the process of evaluating the adoption applications we received for her. If you are interested in adopting Hazel, please go here:
On-Line ADOPTION APPLICATION Form and fill out an adoption application! September 7, 2007  Update ~ September 5, 2007 Hazel was spayed today without any complications. The stitches from the amputation were removed also and the wound is healing well. Since she was already sedated, we had her ribs and the knee & hip on her left leg x-rayed and thankfully all looks great! The staff at the vet clinic adores her and she really got spoiled while in their care. This special little girl absolutely charms and bewitches everyone she meets. Hazel is a great ambassador for her breed and she is everything one could want in a Pit Bull.   Update ~ August 30, 2007 Hazel's starring in her first TV Role sending a message to those who do bad things to helpless dogs! Ouch! ABC 7News Video link It aired August 30, 2007 during the 6 o'clock news cast  Update ~ August 21, 2007 Hazel got a surprise care package in the mail today . It was sent by a fellow Pit Bull lover and proud owner of Phil, the green eyed Pit Bull (see his picture on the card), a member of a great Pit Bull forum her foster mom visits daily and where everyone is following Hazel's progress. Thank you Starla & Phil! Hazel is licking her chops, enjoying the kong and goodies!     Update ~ August 20, 2007 Hazel continues to do well and had her draining tubes removed today. She will be going back to the vet on September 5, 2007 to have her stiches removed and to be spayed.  See a new video of brave little Hazel taken August 16, 2007, the day after her surgery, by clicking on the small camera below: ( the video has no sound)  Update ~ August 15, 2007 Hazel's surgery finished a little while ago and she came through it without any problems. According to the surgeon, the damage was even worse than what was expected from the x-rays and the amputation took longer than expected. So, in order not to risk having her under anesthesia even longer, it was decided not to do the spay surgery at the same time. Hazel will be spayed as soon as she has recovered enough to safely go through another surgery. According to the vet's office, she is already awake. What a little fighter she is. Dogs are such amazing spirits. Please continue to keep sweet little Hazel in your thoughts & prayers.  Little Hazel will have her surgery Wednesday, August 15, 2007. Please send lots of healing energy and keep her in your prayers.   Hazel sporting a new "EAR DO"   Hazel watched her foster brother drink from the faucet dog nozzle outside and tought herself how to use it. It has to be licked for the water to come out. Since she had a hard time reaching the nozzle, her foster mom built a ramp for her to use. She is such a smart little girl. She also learned to sit quietly for her food by watching her foster siblings sitting and waiting at feeding time. She likes her crate and will go into it willingly when telling her to: Go to bed! She even uses the crate to nap in all on her own.  Hazel adores laying in the grass!

Update ~ July 31, 2007 We are determined to get this sweet little puppy the medical care she needs, |
