This shy boy is seeking a patient heart 
Hansel is a sensitive soul who can find the world overwhelming. He’s looking for a calm home who can respect his boundaries & will understand that exciting adventures may never be his thing. He will thrive in a quiet, predictable environment without too many visitors and with an experienced guardian who understands doggie language & knows not to push too far or too fast. He is very insecure & scared – especially when alone – so he needs someone home with him most of the time.
Hansel’s Lifestyle
-
- Hansel is tolerant of & somewhat social with other dogs, but seems to prefer the company of humans.
- He ignores dog savvy cats but can also go after them if they invade his space.
- He has a prey drive & is not recommended to be around other small animals.
- He is not recommended for children.
- Housebroken? No, definitely a work in progress.
Hansel’s Skill Set:
- He’s a blank slate but seems to catch on to new things very quickly
- Best chair / couch warmer around! He just wants to be next to you or on you at all times.
- 10/10 for chasing balls but 1/10 for bringing them back!
Hansel’s Ideal Home:
- A calm, quiet, structured home with limited visitors.
- Someone who is able to be with him most of the time. He suffers from separation anxiety.
- He may benefit from a calm, social dog in his home who can act as a positive role model.
- He can be quite vocal in response to noises outside the home and to express his displeasure at being left behind, so he is not well suited to homes that experience a lot of noise from the outside world or that have shared walls with other residents.
