I adopted Hazel almost 3 years ago. At the time of adopting Hazel was very nervous around strangers and was terrified of men. Hazel has made a lot of progress since then, she is still timid around strangers at first, but warms up to them much faster. She also now has a boy best friend (sometimes I think she likes him, my boyfriend, more than me haha). It’s great to see her acting normal around people that I care about. She loves going for walks and swimming/fetching sticks is a new fun activity that we discovered this year. Hazel is the dream dog, so easily trainable, active but also super cuddly when we try to wind down.
