Meet Hazel! This sweet 5-year-old, 70-pound lady (who could use a little help shedding a few pounds) is searching for a special human who appreciates her unique charm. Hazel isn't the dog who will be the center of attention, but for the right person, she'll be the most cherished companion. She thrives on a calm environment and is looking for an adult-only home where she can finally unwind and feel safe. While she might take a little time to warm up, her patience and understanding will be rewarded with a deep and meaningful bond. Hazel enjoys her toys and bones, and especially loves it when you keep things interesting for her. She's a smart girl who is already house and crate trained, and she flourishes with structure and routine. When introducing Hazel to a new environment, the best approach is to give her plenty of space to explore and decompress at her own pace. She can be a bit restless in the car, so her future family will need to be patient and help her build confidence on the go. Hazel may be able to share her home with another calm, respectful dog, provided there are slow and proper introductions. However, she would prefer a feline-free household. Hazel is seeking an experienced owner who understands that trust is earned, not given, and who is willing to invest the time and love to help her blossom. For the patient and loving person who opens their heart to Hazel, the quiet moments and the strong bond you'll build together will be incredibly rewarding.
Ideal Home
Hazel would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home that can offer patience and understanding. She cannot live with cats.
Ongoing Health
Hazel is at a healthy weight for her breed, but could lose a few pounds to be at her ideal weight.
Training & Support
Hazel is house trained and crate trained. She is not the kind of dog who instantly adjusts to change and needs time to decompress and build confidence. She may be a bit restless in the car and will need gentle guidance to build confidence. Hazel may be able to live with another dog with proper, slow introductions and the right match.
