Hazel

Meet Hazel! This 2-year old big-boned beauty came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray and wowza, is she a great dog! Hazel is definitely a full-figured stunner at 76 glorious pounds (of pure love!), but her calm demeanor immediately makes this cuddle queen seem more pint-sized.

Hazel is shy at first but warms up quickly and loves to snuggle and be loved on. This acorn beauty enjoys walks and romping around in the backyard but mostly wants to be with her people. She enjoys chewing antlers and benebones, likes to instigate play with other dogs, and has perfected the art of napping. She has impeccable manners, never jumps on people, has never had an accident, and sometimes needs a handwritten calligraphy invitation to come onto the furniture just to make sure she is realllllly invited. Oh, and she is excellent in the car, patiently sitting to look out the window or lying down for some Zzzzz’s.

While out and about, Hazelette calmly and appropriately greets everyone she meets (canine and human alike) and will give a quick sniff to dogs she has met in the past as a quick “hello”.  Hazel is a gentle giant and is the perfect shade of hazelnut coffee with a splash of cream. She has a super unique toasted chestnut coat (and monochromatic eyes to match) and is quite the stunner with a perfectly soft and squishable face. If we had to describe her in only one word? LOVEABLE! Due to her size and lack of history, older or no kids would be best for this sweet and nutty plus-sized princess. Big is beautiful!

Hazel’s top 3 priorities:
1. A family with a quiet home (bonus for a great speaker system playing relaxing music).
2. A family who is home often since she thrives with her people. She likes to move around the house checking out what people are doing.
3. A family who is looking for a human-size snuggler in bed and on the couch for a movie night. She is a great sleeper and just curls up on a spot in the bed and sleeps through the night.
