Hanzo is a remarkable 4.5-year-old boy weighing between 65-70 pounds, carrying a heart as big as his stature. A mix of Doberman and Australian Cattle Dog, he radiates love and affection. His rescue journey was featured on The Dodo, emphasizing his extraordinary beginnings. Now, Hanzo yearns for the simple joys of family life and unconditional love. Raised with children, Hanzo adores them, whether they are his own or friends visiting. He thrives on interaction and isn't shy about expressing his enthusiasm, which can occasionally lead to unintentional bumps with very young kids. Therefore, a family with older children who can appreciate his playful nature would suit him best. If you seek a loyal companion, Hanzo is your guy. He never misses an opportunity to be by your side. While he loves to cuddle and hang out during daily routines, a little guidance on respecting personal space would benefit him. He's house and crate trained, clearly signals when he needs to go outside, and enjoys car rides, making him an excellent travel buddy. Hanzo gets along well with other dogs but also enjoys being the sole focus of his human’s affection. He prefers dining alone in his crate to avoid any potential food disagreements. Cats, however, are not a good match for him, as his instinct is to chase small critters. He is an alert and attentive guardian, always ready to alert you of visitors or intruders. Though he has camped before, he often focuses more on keeping a watchful eye than relaxing. This affectionate dog believes that love is to be shared, often squeezing in beside you when you're petting another dog. Hanzo thrives on attention and companionship. He needs a home where he can truly be part of everyday activities—whether it’s walks, laughing at his antics, or just sharing those quiet moments. Once he bonds, he offers unparalleled loyalty and joy that anyone would be lucky to have. If you're ready for a devoted and entertaining companion who will become a part of your family, Hanzo is excited to meet you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
