About Hazel

Meet Hazel, a charming 6-year-old American Bulldog mix with a playful spirit and a big personality. Weighing in at 77 pounds, she has a striking white and tan coat and a smile that’s hard to resist. Hazel brings laughter to every moment, whether she’s frolicking with her favorite toys or settling down for a cozy cuddle. Hazel loves her walks and gets excited when it’s time to hit the trails. She’s strong, and while she’s eager, she can benefit from leash training to refine her manners. Previously, she had a tough time with other dogs and prefers a calm environment, ideally as the only dog or with a mellow canine companion she can trust. She’s fine with older kids (10+) but needs a household that can help her navigate her enthusiasm with care. This gentle girl enjoys playing fetch and then transitioning right into nap mode. While she likes outdoor adventures, she values being inside with her family. Due to some digestive issues, she follows a special lamb and rice diet. Crate-trained and housetrained, she prefers being indoors, close to her loved ones. Hazel is spayed, vaccinated, and ready for her forever home. If you have experience with big dogs and can offer her the love and patience she deserves, don’t hesitate to apply. She can't wait to meet you!
