Hazel is a 17-week-old Australian Shepherd mix brimming with energy and affection. Smart and sweet, she has a special love for water and will happily chase after any squeaky toy she finds. Fetch is her favorite game, though she’s still sorting out the ground rules—tug of war with a ball gets her every time. While Hazel may come off as a bit shy at first, once she’s comfortable, she turns into a loyal little shadow, always nearby and eager to be part of the action. She thrives in an active household where she can put her puppy energy to good use. Hazel enjoys both spirited play sessions and downtime cuddling on the couch. She is well on her way with house training but, being young, needs someone home during the day to keep her on track. Crate trained, she prefers sleeping out with her people or fellow dog pals. Hazel gets along well with other dogs and is a confident leash walker. Cats have not been tested. Ready to meet Hazel in Saint Petersburg, FL? Your new best friend is just one click away.
