Hazel, also known as Hazelnuts and Squirrel Girl, is your companion for all things chore related!
She is thought to be a Blue Heeler/Belgian Shepherd mix, is around 35 pounds and just over two years old.
True to her obvious + suspected breeds, she is a working dog through and through who needs adequate physical and mental stimulation in order to be a content lap dog. She is capable of both and happiest when fulfilled is these ways.
Currently, she is able to go on runs with her foster human. Generally, 2 two-mile jaunts to book end her days seem to satisfy her. She might do well in the country as her strong cattle dog behavior indicates a yearning for work life. So far, she seems happy with her urban life as long as she is able to find a runner or avid hiker to share her life with.
Hazel also companionably shares her current life with an 80 pound pitbull/mastif + a little chihuahua mix.
She is highly intelligent and agile - we suspect you could train her to do most anything. Perhaps agility training may satisfy her need to work.
Hazel prefers her own space for sleeping and plays well alone, but is fully engaged with her human when they play with toys or climb trees (hence the name Squirrel Girl).
If you are intrigued by this sweet, active girl, begin your inquiry by filling out our Adoption Application.
