Meet Hazel, an extra-large female Akita/Rottweiler mix who has a knack for winning people over despite her imposing presence. She embodies the phrase 'gentle giant'—her affectionate and playful nature shines through from the moment you meet her. Hazel’s personality brings sunshine into any space, and her lighthearted antics, like chasing her tail or reacting to her own reflection, are sure to lift your spirits. Hazel is still settling into rescue life and is hoping to find a forever home that matches her huge heart. She is all about connection—she loves people, gives plenty of attention, and is never shy about showing affection. Hazel is also comfortable around other dogs and children, so she could fit nicely into a family with them. If you’re ready for a loyal friend who will always have your back (and make you laugh in the process), Hazel just might be your perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
