Meet Hazel, a 2-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart as big as her comeback story. Found wandering the streets of Minneapolis in heartbreaking condition—severely matted, bruised, and in need of urgent care—Hazel had to be shaved down just to begin healing. That’s how she earned her cheeky nickname, “Naked Girl.” But don’t be fooled by the name—Hazel has bounced back in full force and is now a happy, spunky, fur-growing-back ray of sunshine who’s stealing hearts everywhere she goes.

Why She’s the Ultimate Resilient Ray of Sunshine
🌟 Bounces through life with pure joy and unstoppable energy
🐾 Plays wonderfully with other dogs—she’s a social butterfly!
🏠 Zips around the house in bursts of zoomie joy
💖 Loves every human she meets and soaks up affection
🛋️ Equally down for cuddle time—she’s got a serious Velcro dog streak
🎉 Part party animal, part snugglebug, and 100% personality

What She’s Looking For
✔️ A fun-loving home ready to embrace joy, laughter, and a little chaos
✔️ Humans who want a dog that sticks close and loves hard
✔️ A home with or without playful dog siblings—she adapts beautifully
✔️ Someone who sees the beauty in a survivor and is ready for fun

Hazel may have had a rough start, but her resilience, zest for life, and boundless affection make her a truly unforgettable pup. She’s living her best life now—and she’s ready to bring her love, laughter, and zoomies to a forever home. Come meet Miss Hazel and see why everyone’s falling in love with this fluffy little superstar.
