About Hazel
Hazel is a lovely 1-2 year old Australian Cattle Dog known for her charm and beauty. Weighing in at 38 lbs, she has a medium coat that showcases her unique Gray and Blue Merle coloring. Spayed and up to date on vaccinations, she’s heartworm negative and ready for a forever family. A bit reserved in new situations, Hazel takes her time to assess her surroundings. However, once she feels comfortable, her affectionate nature truly shines through. She balances adventurous outings like walks or hikes with cozy moments spent lounging by your side. Hazel is social with both male and female dogs and loves to play; her signature move is a playful nose boop. While she would thrive with a canine companion, she would also make an excellent only dog for someone who can dedicate time to her. She enjoys water, stuffed toys, tennis balls, and bones and is crate trained, gentle with treats, and respectful at home. With her moderate prey drive, she's learning to adapt, proving to be both smart and eager to please. A securely fenced yard is important for her as she’s still gaining confidence on leash in new areas. She’s not fond of thunderstorms or fireworks, so a family ready to provide a safe space during those times would be ideal. Though she hasn't been around children much, her gentle temperament suggests she’d do well with respectful, dog-savvy older kids. Hazel blends playful energy with loyalty and companionship, and she's ready to find that special place in someone’s heart. Click apply to start the adoption process.
