About Hazel

Meet Hazel! Hazel is an adorable 4-year-old, 25-pound little lady still trying to figure out why she ended up in a shelter after being found abandoned. The shelter has been overwhelming for her, and she feels frightened around new people. Hazel requires a calm and gentle approach, with time and space to adjust. Once she begins to trust, her playful and sweet personality shines through. She hasn’t shown much interest in other animals yet, likely due to the stress of shelter life. A quieter home would allow her to decompress and reveal more about her comfort levels with other pets. Hazel is a little dog in a big and busy environment. She needs a patient owner who can help her find her confidence and show her that she is safe. We believe she deserves more than what a shelter can provide and are eager to help her find a loving home. Your new best friend is just one click away!
