About Hazel

Meet Hazel, a sweet girl who's finally ready to find her forever home! Abandoned as a puppy with her siblings, she spent her first six months in a shelter, waiting for love and a family of her own. At around 7-8 months old and weighing about 43 pounds, Hazel is a beautiful black Lab mix. She's got a gentle spirit, though she can be a bit shy when encountering new experiences. Hazel enjoys running and playing, especially when water is involved—it's her absolute favorite! To help her thrive, Hazel would benefit from a home with a fenced-in yard where she can play safely and grow more confident. She gets along well with children and other dogs, making her a great family companion. Since she's never lived in a house before, she will need some help with house training. Hazel has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and given flea and tick prevention. After spending so long in a shelter, she deserves a loving family who will cherish her forever.
