About Hansel

Meet Hansel, a charming 3-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at 94 lbs. He’s named after the famous fairy tale character but promises he won't leave breadcrumbs behind. Initially, he might be a little reserved around new faces, but give him a moment, and he’ll quickly transform into your best buddy. Once comfortable, Hansel seeks closeness, affection, and is eager to join in on adventures. Active and spirited, this handsome guy thrives on exploration, walks, and keeping busy. He’s great with other dogs, especially the calm ones, but we’re unsure about his relationship with cats at this time. Hansel prefers a cat-free environment and would thrive with kids aged 8 and up who respect his need for personal space. One thing to note: Hansel is quite the jumper! He has a knack for clearing fences over 4 feet tall. A secure yard with higher fences is a must for him. If you seek a loyal, active companion who brings love and seeks adventure, Hansel is your guy. His adoption fee is $295, and he’s neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Ready to meet this wonderful pup?
