Lovely Hazel is looking for a new family
I'm helping my friends find a new home for their dog Hazel. The family is simply not able to give Hazel the context she needs with everything they have on their plate (three boys and a full house!).
Hint: Hunt / loyal / working type breed so she’ll enjoy spending time, outdoors and exercising.
Free to a good home or family — but we will want to meet the new owners to check suitability.
Hazel is a mixed breed, but I reckon some Huntaway in there — looks like maybe some Rhodesian or maybe even Black Mouth Cur…. She is gentle, energetic, friendly and curious.
Her mother was a rescue dog and pregnant at the time she was rescued. Hazel has always been in good care. She will turn 1 in November.
She has received about 5 Hours of Professional dog training, a bit more from the family and I'm sure she will adapt quickly and smoothly with a new owner.
Feel free to spread around.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
