Hello! Will you be my forever human? 

My name is Hazel and I am looking for my forever home. I was found in bad shape on the streets of Portland in November of 2020. My foster mom got me spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and nursed me to a healthy 70 pounds. But unfortunately, I can not stay with her forever. 

I am about 4.5 years old Pit-bull mix. My foster mom has been calling me Hazel since she found me, and I know and respond to that name well. I am super mellow and just want to nap at my human’s feet all day long. Belly rubs are my favorite things ever. It would be ideal if you are retired or work from home. Sometimes I get sad alone and chew on things. I don’t jump or bark much, and I love giving kisses to everyone who walks in the house, including children.  However, it has been recommended that a home without young kiddos present all the time will be best, as I am sensitive and get overwhelmed with a lot of activity.

 Right now I share a house with a cat, and we stay away from each other, and I gladly share my water bowl with her. But I do like chasing cats and squirrels out on my walk. I get growly with other dogs when they come close. I respond great to positive reinforcement training, and am looking forward to attending a reactive dog class, if you want to help me get over my fear of dogs. 

I have some old injury to my leg so I walk slowly and rarely run. Stairs are difficult for me. Few carpeted or concrete steps are fine, but a hardwood staircase is a big no.

I will come with my beloved kennel, food bowls and everything else you might need for me. 

The adoption fee is $350.
