About Sweet Hazelnut

Meet Sweet Hazelnut, a brindle Boxer with a huge heart and a bigger need for a real home. At around 8 or 9 years old, she’s built her entire life around loving people—toddlers, teens, adults, seniors, she welcomes them all like old friends. Hazelnut is happiest when she’s close by your side, whether it’s riding quietly in the car, strolling politely on leash, or curling up for long snuggles at home. For her, family means sticking together. This sturdy, 70-pound sweetheart is fully spayed and vaccinated. She may have some wisdom in her eyes, but there’s still plenty of spark in her—she loves short adventures as much as a nap on the couch. Hazelnut will need to be the only pet in the house: she’s intense about her bond and wants all of your attention for herself. In return, you’ll get total loyalty and a calm, loving shadow. She’s good with kids but sets clear limits with other animals, so she’s best as your one and only. Hazelnut’s adoption fee is already covered—she just needs someone to see her worth and open up their heart. She’s spent too many nights without a place to call her own. She’s ready to belong.
