About Hannah

Meet Hannah, a spirited two-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/Shepherd mix in Reseda, CA, bursting with joy. She has a sleek black coat adorned with bright white accents, ready to start a new adventure with the right family. Weighing 76 pounds, Hannah greets everyone with enthusiasm, a wagging tail, and a heart full of affection. She loves cuddles and has a charming quirk: she becomes a happy puddle whenever her eleven-year-old friend gives her gentle kisses, creating smiles for everyone around her. Adventure fuels Hannah! She thrives on long walks, energetic fetch games, and exploring a securely fenced yard where she can stretch her legs. Her food motivation makes training fun and rewarding, and she's completed formal obedience training. Hannah proudly knows commands like sit, stay, down, heel, off, touch, give paw, and give kiss. She enjoys practicing her skills and is always eager to learn new tricks. When left alone for short periods, she peacefully naps or entertains herself with her favorite toy, welcoming her family joyfully upon their return. Hannah is house-trained, crate trained, microchipped, spayed, and fully vaccinated. She is managing seasonal allergies with Apoquel and rides well in the car. Her ideal routine includes two daily walks, playtime, and regular meals. Hannah needs a loving home where she can be the only pet, as she has bitten small dogs and chased stray cats in her current home. However, she has never shown aggression towards people and has lived comfortably with respectful school-age children for over two years. In the right environment, Hannah's intelligence and loyal, affectionate nature truly shine. Could Hannah be the loyal friend who joins you on your next adventure?
