Hazel is a 3.7-year-old spayed female German Shepherd Dog with a good sense of humor, classic shepherd loyalty, and a playful streak. She weighs about 50 lbs, is current on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative (plus on prevention). Potty and crate trained, Hazel settles right into routine. She’s great on leash and absolutely loves her toys—rarely without one in her mouth. Hazel forms strong bonds with familiar people and dogs. Loki, her canine best friend, is her partner-in-crime, and she fits in well with dogs she knows. With people, Hazel needs proper introductions and takes her time to warm up. Once she trusts you, she's all in: gentle, sweet, and loyal, especially with kids she knows. Expect some protectiveness—she’d do best in a home with experience handling devoted shepherds, and that doesn’t see a steady stream of strangers. Hazel really benefits from meeting her adopter a few times beforehand—think slow introductions and plenty of treats (her real key to bonding). Her shell is tough at first, but she’s worth the wait. She’s fostered in Round Rock, TX and can’t wait to find her person. Click apply to start the adoption process.
