Hazel is a gentle soul who really wants to love and is patiently waiting for the right family to help her blossom. Hazel has likely experienced trauma at the hands of humans in her past.  Although this causes her to be nervous of humans, she is a sweet, submissive girl who truly wants to trust again.  She shows absolutely no aggression. Hazel arrived to us severely matted (as you can see in the before and after photo) and had to be shaved down at the groomer.  We think she's stunning just the way she is, but when her fur grows back in she's going to be a heartstopper!

Living Situation: Hazel is potty trained and crate trained, making her a great companion for any home. She’s not destructive, so you won’t have to worry about any surprises while she’s settling in.  She is good with other dogs (although nervous at first) and may do well with another friendly dog in the home to help build her confidence.  Hazel is leash trained and enjoys being outside.

Temperament: While Hazel is nervous and may not come to you right away, she’s receptive once you earn her trust. If you approach her slowly and gently, she actually loves to be pet and will even take treats from you. She's just still too afraid to approach you and ask for these loves. With time and patience, she’ll show you her affectionate side, showering you with sweet kisses and companionship.

What She Needs: Hazel is looking for a compassionate owner who understands the importance of patience and gentle reassurance. She thrives in a calm environment, maybe even with other doggy friends who can help her feel secure. A quiet space where she can explore at her own pace will make all the difference as she learns to trust her new humans. If you have a soft spot for shy pups and a willingness to help them flourish, Hazel could be your perfect match! Together, you’ll create a bond that will last a lifetime.
