My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hazel is a German Shepherd mix, approx. 4.5 years old. Her story is one of resilience and love.
Hazel was abandoned last July by her owner when he moved to Texas. Instead of trying to find a home, he opted to dump her in the country. Fortunately, Lana, a kind Samaritan, found her, took her in, and has been caring for her ever since.

Despite her past, Hazel remains a sweet and affectionate girl who loves giving kisses and wagging her tail to everyone she meets. Hazel considers everyone her friend!

Hazel travels well in a car and enjoys walks, although she is learning leash manners. She is a quick study and would benefit from additional training. She is treat-motivated and takes treats very gently, which makes her a joy to work with. She is also very mellow and well-behaved indoors.

Unfortunately, Hazel and Lana’s resident rescue female German Shepherd do not get along, so Hazel would do best as an only dog or could do well with a male companion. However, Hazel prefers not to live with kitties.

If you have been looking for a wonderful, loyal, and loving companion who will be a gentle presence in your home, Hazel could be the perfect match. After all she’s been through, Hazel deserves a caring family and a place to call home.

More about this rescue

Golden State German Shepherd Rescue
is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in the Central Valley of Northern California

Our mission is to find loving homes for German Shepherd Dogs in need of a second chance and to educate the public about this highly intelligent and versatile breed.

Most of the dogs in our program come from Central Valley animal shelters where they have run out of time. We place them into foster homes to assess their needs and gives us time to fully vet them. And then we find perfect fit adopters throughout Northern California..
