Hannah

Meet Hannah, a 1-year-old Catahoula/Cattle Dog mix and the sweetest Velcro dog you will ever met. Hannah is the very definition of the 3-3-3 rule. For a typical rescue dog, it takes 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to understand they are home, 3 months to understand they are a family member at home. For Hannah it might be a bit longer in her new home to adjust due to hearing disability and her past. However, as her foster mom, I can tell you that she is absolutely worth the wait. She will be very cautious and unsure, but she is not aggressive or reactive. She needs a family that will put in the time and patience for Hannah to be her silly, sweet self. She will take longer to adjust to men because of her past interactions with them. It took Hannah about 4-5 months to freely walk around the house without trying to hide. Now she walks and hangs out with the whole family.<br/><br/>A little history about Hannah. She was born deaf but has good vision. She was neglected and possibly abused the first year of her life in the home of a backyard breeder. She was then surrenderedto a shelter. She was living on borrowed time due to capacity concerns andwas extremely scared and confused. We had to give this girl a chance to blossom, and she is quickly becoming this sweet and happy Velcro dog.<br/><br/>In the past five months inside her foster home, she has gained so much confidence and has become such a sweet girl.She loves listening to music loudly in the car on the way for a pup cup, especially Enyas Caribbean Moon. She probably likes to feel thevibrations or the beat.<br/><br/>She does generally well in the car and has now learned to hop in and out with no problems. She loves her walks and will walk right next to you. Sometimes a little too close where she will accidentallystep on the back of my feet but she just wants to be so close so she feels safe on our walks. After a good long walk she enjoys sitting on the couch watching TV (with subtitles) with her foster family. Hannah&#39;s favorite genres are sci-fi, cooking shows, and rom-coms. She doesn&#39;t seem to like Stanley Tucci and she growls when he pops on the screen.We won&#39;t fault her for that.<br/><br/>She has started vibration collar, light, and sign language training and is doing very well. When she feels safe, and confident with the humans around her, she is eager to learn. She knows stay, off, and we are working on sit and come here. She LOVES fetch and would like a home with plenty of indoor and outdoor toys to play with. She loves a good chew at night to settle in.<br/><br/>She looks to her doggie foster siblingsfor her queues and mimics what theydo. Hannah wants to be in a pack. She will need a home with another dog friend that can be her forever companion and most importantly her guide and leader. This is a must. If you do not have a second dog, might we suggest Wapiti, another foster in ARPO. She felt very safe with him. She also needs a 5-6 completely fenced in yard for her protection. No holes or gaps. <br/><br/>Due to her past, she is very wary and cautiousof male figures and slow to come around them, but shows promise with repeatedexposure.Her favorite special treats are Cheetos, Cheek chips (From Hollywood feed), and doggie icecream. She has perfect potty manners and will let you know when she needs to go. She is crate trained, and her crate is her safespace that needs to be respected and not used as a punishment. She is doing very well living in a home with big and little dogs and several cats. She is respectfulof the cats and if there is a patient feline in the home that loves to snuggle in bed with her, she would be over the moon.<br/><br/>Hannah being deaf doesn&#39;t define Hannah. She is kind, sweet and needs a patient loving home that will appreciate her and make her feel safe for the rest of herlife.Hannah will take some time and patience, but she is well worth it. She is a diamond in the ruff :). Home inspection will be required as part of the finalization of adoption of Hannah.Transportation is available for the perfect home.<br/><br/> If you are interested in adopting an ARPO pet, please visit our website at arporescue.org to learn more about our adoption process and complete our adoption application.
