Meet Hazel! Hazel joined our Canine Ambassador program in 2024 and has been spreading love and comfort ever since. Her journey began in a truly special way—Hazel was named in honor of a young girl who bravely battled neuroblastoma. Now, Hazel carries on her namesake’s spirit by bringing joy to those who need it most. As a therapy dog, she provides warmth and companionship to active-duty service members, veterans, and military families, offering moments of healing and connection. Hazel’s gentle nature and loving presence make her a perfect addition to the Shelter to Soldier Canine Ambassador team, and we are honored to have her share her kindness with our community.
