About Hazel

Hazel is a 12-year-old Plott Hound in search of a forever home where she can feel secure. She's experienced some changes that have affected her happiness, leading her to seek a new family. Hazel thrives in a calm environment without young children and excessive noise, although she is generally okay with older kids due to her earlier training. Her anxiety can cause unexpected moments of jumping and barking, especially when startled. A quieter home in Tacoma would be ideal for her. A backyard is important, as it allows her to relieve herself and enjoy the outdoors. She hasn't adapted well to apartment living, so a stable setup is preferred. Hazel needs an owner who understands her anxiety and is ready to provide patience and love during her transition. With time, she'll reveal her sweet and loving nature as she settles in. Remember, she will need to be the only dog in the home. Ready to make a difference in Hazel's life? Apply now!
