Hazel's journey to find a forever home has hit a bump in the road. Once thought to be on her way to happily ever after, this 50-pound chocolate lab mix has faced setbacks that have shaped her fearful nature. At around a year old, she still needs time to trust her surroundings and the people in her life. While she has bonded with the adults in her previous home, particularly with a bit of patience, she has struggled with children and would be best suited for a quieter household without the chaos that young ones bring. Living alongside dogs and a kitty has shown her gentle side, making her an ideal companion for other pets. However, she needs a patient owner who understands the importance of giving her a proper decompression period. With the right environment, she can truly blossom into an affectionate friend. Could you be the one to help Hazel on her new journey? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
