Hazel* - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in San Gabriel, California

Hi, I'm Hazel. I love cuddles, naps, and exploring outside. I love people and am totally content to be held, especially after I've eaten and am ready to sleep. I love to play with cats and other dogs, though I try to dominate the situation. I will ask to go potty outside. I come when called. I learned how to use an outside water fountain in my foster home.
