Hazel is a 1-year-old Anatolian Shepherd (with a lot of Central Asian Shepherd Dog mixed in!) with a big heart to match her 100-pound frame. She's a sweet, affectionate, and deeply people-oriented dog who forms strong bonds with her humans. While she may be a bit shy when first meeting new adults, a little patience (and a few treats) go a long way-once she feels safe, she becomes a loyal shadow, full of happy wiggles and constant companionship. She's been especially gentle and wonderful with kids in her foster home. Hazel has a medium-high energy level and thrives when she can spend time outdoors. She loves walks, sniffing adventures, chasing squirrels, and playing or wrestling with other dogs. Toys are a favorite pastime-especially socks-and she has a hilarious fondness for water, often trying to join her humans in the shower. New indoor environments can make her anxious, and she is not comfortable in a crate, as it causes her stress. She's also an alert barker and may react to unfamiliar noises or bark at night, though white noise or a fan can help soothe her. Medically, Hazel is prone to chronic ear infections and will require ongoing care, including ear cleanings once or twice a week. Hazel would do best with a patient and understanding family who can give her time to decompress and feel secure. A home that can accommodate separate feeding if there are other dogs, and one that is comfortable with basic ear care, will set her up for success. Access to a yard or outdoor space would be a big bonus for her active nature. At her core, Hazel is an extremely loving and loyal companion who just wants to be close to her person. With the right environment and a little patience, she will blossom into an incredibly devoted best friend.
