About Hazel

Hazel is a large mixed breed dog with a gentle soul. During a recent dog test with Nala, she showcased her calm demeanor, greeting Nala with neutral body language and choosing to explore the yard independently. When approached by Nala, Hazel maintained her distance, highlighting her reserved nature. Once comfortable, though, this affectionate girl is bound to become a sweet companion. Hazel takes her time warming up to new people, so she would thrive in a patient home that understands her need for space. She’s currently heartworm positive, which means she will require special attention and care. If you have the time and love to support her journey, Hazel could be a wonderful addition to your family.
