In the shelter’s words

Meet Hannah! A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/Shepherd mix currently in Reseda, CA, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a sleek black coat with bright white accents, ready to begin an exciting new chapter with the right family. Hannah is a large girl weighing 76 pounds, and she greets every new person with genuine enthusiasm, a wagging tail, and a heart full of affection! She absolutely loves spending time with people, especially soaking up cuddles and attention. One of her sweetest quirks is how she melts into a happy puddle whenever an eleven-year-old friend gives her gentle kisses on the face, creating a moment that always brings smiles. Adventure is Hannah's favorite pastime! She looks forward to long walks, energetic games of fetch, chewing on durable toys, tasty treats, and exploring a securely fenced yard where she can stretch her legs. She is wonderfully food motivated, making training both fun and rewarding! Hannah has completed formal obedience training and proudly knows sit, stay, down, heel, off, touch, give paw, and give kiss. She enjoys practicing her skills with positive reinforcement and is always eager to learn something new. When left alone for short periods, she is content to nap or entertain herself with a favorite toy before happily welcoming her family back. Hannah is house-trained, crate trained, microchipped, spayed, and current on her vaccinations. She is also managing seasonal allergies with Apoquel. She rides well in the car, comes when called, and thrives with an active routine that includes two daily walks, playtime, and meals twice each day. Because Hannah has bitten small dogs in her current home and has also chased stray cats, she needs a loving home where she is the only pet. Hannah has never bitten or shown aggression toward a person and has lived comfortably with respectful, school-age children for more than two years. In the right environment, where she can thrive without the presence of small animals, Hannah's intelligence, loyalty, and deeply affectionate nature shine every day! Could Hannah be the loyal friend who joins you on your next adventure? If you believe Hannah could be the joyful companion for your family, please reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more.
