HAZEL

Meet Hazel — a big-hearted, high-energy girl who’s looking for an active home that understands her sensitive side.Hazel has lived in a busy household with children of all ages and was known for being playful, affectionate, and happiest when she had space to run and burn off energy. She’s a goofy, energetic companion who loves treats, enjoys time outdoors, and forms strong bonds with her people. Once Hazel knows you, she’s all in.Like many sensitive dogs, Hazel can be unsure around new people and dogs at first. She may bark when meeting someone unfamiliar, but her goal is usually to investigate and sniff things out rather than cause trouble. With patient introductions and a little reassurance, she settles in well and has successfully lived alongside lots of visitors and family changes.Hazel would thrive with an experienced adopter who can continue building her confidence, provide structure, and help her channel her energy in positive ways. She’ll likely do best with slow introductions, respectful handling around food, and plenty of exercise and enrichment.Underneath her big bark is a loyal, loving dog who just wants to feel safe, understood, and included. Hazel is ready for someone willing to see past first impressions and give this smart, spirited girl the fresh start she deserves.
