Meet Hanley, a 1- to 2-year-old Pitbull mix with a heart full of joy! Although he is a bit shy at first, his playful and goofy side comes out once you get to know him. He is the perfect companion for cuddles and energetic games. Curious about the world, Hanley loves to explore and learn new things. His friendly demeanor makes him great for people who appreciate a sweet, loving soul in their lives.
Ideal Home
Hanley would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of love and attention. We encourage meet-and-greets with your resident dog before adoption. Cat tests are available if requested, but they only check for clear aggression. Always be careful when introducing dogs to cats. Advice about dogs living with children is based on behavior like energy level and how the dog handles touch. Young children should never be left alone with dogs, and we cannot guarantee how any dog will behave with kids or other pets.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Behavior seen in the shelter is just a snapshot and may change in a home. Dogs come from many backgrounds and may need training, time, and patience. Dogs should not be fed together unless you know they do not guard food. We also suggest learning about a dog's breed or mix to be sure it fits your family. Moving to a new home can be stressful for dogs. Use the Rule of 3 to help them adjust:
- First 3 days: Dogs may feel scared, tired, overexcited, or not want to eat.
- First 3 weeks: Dogs start learning routines and may show new behaviors. Keep things calm and avoid busy places.
- First 3 months: Dogs usually feel settled and more comfortable.
