Meet Hazel, a sweet-natured Shepherd mix who is ready to melt into your life and become your most loyal companion. She's a perfectly portable 45 pounds and is a certified cutie with a personality that fills the room. Hazel is the ultimate partner for someone looking to add a smart, gentle, and highly motivated best friend to their family. She's a true little shadow who lives for human connection and that special, once-in-a-lifetime bond. Hazel is the perfect blend of social butterfly and focused, currently thriving in a foster home with a pack of dogs and a 4-year-old child. Although she can be a little reserved when first meeting new people, she does great with slow introductions and warms up quickly. By the end of a playdate, she's usually everyone's best friend. Hazel genuinely loves being around other dogs. She greets politely on leash and, once she's had a chance to say hello, her curiosity and friendliness really shine. Her playstyle is sweet and observant – she prefers running alongside her canine friends, happily acting as the co-pilot rather than jumping into rough play. She is a loyal sidekick who is already crate trained and ready for her next adventure.
