About Hazel

Hazel is a delightful 12-year-old Bull Terrier. This affectionate girl loves to cuddle and is happiest lounging around the house beside her favorite humans. She enjoys leisurely walks, a game of fetch, and sunbathing on the patio. Inside, she’s calm but still has a playful side. Hazel has been around older toddlers and young children, displaying her gentle nature and handling even grabby hands with grace. While she’s generally calm around other dogs, she's dog-reactive, meaning she tends to react defensively if another dog shows aggression. For her safety, her owners have chosen to limit her exposure to other dogs. Currently in Bristol, VT, Hazel is seeking a new loving home through Pawsitive Connection Animal Rescue, Inc. This transition is significant for her, as she has been with her family since puppyhood. Hazel has so much love to share and deserves to be cherished through her senior years.
