Could you be Hansel’s special someone?

 Calgary, Alberta
 Adoption Fee: $495
 Breed: Schnauzer x Yorkie
 Age: 4 years old

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.
