The 2016 Honda HR-V range of configurations is currently priced from $10,000.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: It’s fair to say the reborn HR-V never really hit its stride on the Australian new car market. A long hiatus between HR-V generations here allowed the market to cool, while competition from within Honda’s own family hurt the HR-V.

The 2016 Honda HR-V carries a braked towing capacity of up to 800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Honda HR-V 2016 prices range from $10,890 for the basic trim level SUV VTi-L to $17,600 for the top of the range SUV VTi-L (Adas).
If you like the idea of the Honda but don’t want such a physically large package, take a look at the Honda Jazz. Yes, it’s probably one size down from your current Focus, but its interior is very spacious for its external dimensions. It’s also the car that has probably the most versatile interior in terms of flexible seating arrangements with a rear seat that folds, slides and tumbles. It also has normal ride height (as opposed to the jacked-up stance that SUVs boast) so your dog may find it easier to jump in without hitting anything. Beyond that, you really need to visit dealerships and check for yourself that rear doors, rear seats and general layout suit your very specific canine requirements.

I would suggest the Soul could be ruled out on the basis that it won't have a high resale value when you want to sell it on. Your budget will limit your choices, if you could stretch it another $3000 you could look at the Honda HR-V or CR-V, or Kia Sportage.

The new Suzuki is pretty good, apart from the constantly variable transmission, and gets The Tick. But you should also test drive the Mazda CX-3, which tops the class, or the Honda HR-V if you need more space in the back.
