Hank German Shepherd Dog & Great Pyrenees Mix Los Angeles, CA

Meet Hank!

A spirited one-year-old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees/American Staffordshire Terrier mix from San Jose, CA, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a luxurious tan coat with striking black accents. This playful and smart fellow is ready to bring endless joy and loyalty to a new family. With his funny and inquisitive personality, Hank is always up for an adventure and loves learning new tricks!

Hank is a medium to high-energy dog who finds satisfaction in a couple of walks and some play sessions. He adores plushies, balls, sticks, and chews, and he particularly enjoys running off-leash in safe areas. Whether it's playing in the house or enjoying the great outdoors, Hank is always eager to participate in fun activities. He’s a star at Doggy Daycare, where he gets along famously with other dogs, and he loves meeting new people!

This clever canine knows a wide array of commands, including sit, down, up, off, heel, stay, place, potty, wait, come, paw (shake), spin, and kennel. His impressive obedience skills make him a joy to have around the house. Hank is totally house-trained, crate-trained, and has even received formal obedience training.

While Hank is a sweetheart indoors and at daycare, he does have some leash reactivity when walking in his current neighborhood and reacts to the aggressive dogs next door. This reactivity has led to some fence fighting in the backyard. However, he thrives in environments where he has space to run and explore without these triggers. In a more suitable home, Hank’s reactivity issues can be managed effectively, allowing his true friendly and playful nature to shine through.

Hank is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He had allergies in the past, but they have since cleared up. When left alone for short periods, Hank is perfectly content to sleep and relax until his family returns.

This lovable dog is looking for a home with plenty of space to run and a family that appreciates his playful and intelligent nature. Ideally, his new home will have a safe environment free from aggressive neighboring dogs. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who loves to play and train, Hank is your guy!
