Introducing Princess Hannah Roo, the sweetest dog you will ever meet, now available for adoption to a very special person/family. Hannah has won hearts from the time she was turned in to a kill shelter by her previous owners at the age of 9 ½ years young. Hannah was severely underweight when she was turned in but to know Hannah is to love her so rescue was contacted to save her and A&B was there for her. Hannah is so gentle, happy and full of spirit that she makes you smile and feel good just being with her. She went first to a temp foster, next to a Vet foster and now she is with her final foster. We all fell for Hannah and thanks to the Vet foster Hannah is bouncing back physically with her trademark enthusiasm. Her issues turned out to not to be as serious as feared, a urinary tract infection and teeth in bad need of cleaning. She is now fully vetted and putting on weight.
Hannah acquired the nickname Roo because she is such a happy girl that she jumps and hops around like a kangaroo. She quickly gained a reputation as a Princess because of her eating habits and lifestyle preferences. She is used to eating human food and being hand fed from her previous life. We have found a dog food that she likes and will eat consistently, but her new family will need to cater to her eating habits, possibly forever. She is also a Princess because she prefers to lounge on the couch and when sent out to go to the bathroom she bounces out, does her business and is usually ready to come right back in. She doesn’t really like to get her feet wet so if it is raining, she’ll keep one foot on the patio and the other in the yard to pee, because she quickly learned that foster mom expects her to pee in the yard, even when it’s wet outside.
Roo likes to play with tennis balls and wants the other dogs in the home to run and play with her.
She was treated rough by her previous owners and if you move to pet her quickly she may pull back but I keep assuring her that no one will ever hurt her again. Just be patient and understanding, that is all she asks.
She is crate trained, housetrained and does great with cats, other dogs and kids (see her video and be sure to notice how fast her tail is wagging when she met a family with kids on a beach walk).
Hannah is on some inexpensive supplements to keep her comfortable and healthy and you’ll need to continue those. At this time she is going to do best with a retired or work/stay at home person. She loves going on walks and could easily walk several miles a day with her person. And please make sure that there is room on the couch for her to snuggle up with (or without) you. Hannah is such an easy foster dog and a joy to have in the home. We are really going to miss her, but as long as you are willing to give our little Princess the TLC she deserves we know that she is ready to move from rescue to her furever home.
