About Hannah

Hannah is part of a remarkable bonded pair with Joe, both originally from Kauai. After a difficult start, Hannah spent her early years afraid and unsure due to mistreatment, eventually finding comfort and confidence by Joe’s side. Now, with Joe’s companionship, she has blossomed—eager for walks, hikes, yard romps, and lots of couch snuggles. Both are happiest together, and Hannah’s trust in the world grows each day thanks to Joe. They need a home with patience, a peaceful routine, and adults who understand how to help dogs settle in. A fenced yard at least four feet high is a must. These two are fine with older kids but do best with children aged 12+. Hannah is sensitive and sometimes hesitant, but given time and stability, she opens up and enjoys new people and adventures. Being a January pup, Hannah is a Capricorn—steady, loyal, and always determined. They are waiting for a quiet place where they can grow at their own pace. Ready to fall in love?
