BANANA HANNAH

This is one of those times when you truly wish dogs could talk and tell their story. Banana Hanna came to us after a kind stranger spotted her near a local roadway. When he first approached her, she moved away, but then, as if she knew he was there to help, she laid down and waited for him to come closer. When Banana Hanna arrived, she had extensive scarring across her body, along with inflamed skin and a wound on her neck. While we may never know what caused those scars, she has received treatment for her inflammation and responded very well. We only wish she could tell us what she's been through. She remained at the shelter throughout her stray hold and was never reunited with an owner, if she had one. Now, we're helping her find the loving family she deserves, one that will give her the safe, happy future every dog should have. It's understandable that Banana Hanna was nervous when she first arrived, but she has continued to come out of her shell more and more each day, as these photos show. She is incredibly sweet and quickly becoming a fan of cuddles and affection. She loves spending time in the play yard, rolling in the grass, and checking in with her favorite humans for pets and attention. She strikes a wonderful balance between enjoying her own adventures and making sure her people don't feel left out. Banana Hanna has also met a similarly sized neutered male dog. She was friendly and appropriate during their interaction, but true to her style, she was just as interested in spending time with the humans nearby. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet dog who deserves a fresh start, come meet Banana Hanna and see if she's the missing piece of your family.
