My story

Meet Hannah – A Survivor with a Heart of Gold Hannah is a beautiful 4-year-old Shepherd mix weighing about 56 lbs. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. She’s also one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. Hannah is incredibly friendly with people and other dogs. Even when other dogs get snappy, she simply walks away—never reactive, always gentle. However, she is not good with cats. Her journey hasn’t been easy. Hannah was originally rescued from Carson Animal Shelter, then adopted, but sadly returned. A loving foster took her in, and she stayed with him for over a month—until something heartbreaking happened. One day, the foster claimed Hannah had been stolen from his car while he stepped inside a store. He said the car was locked (except the driver’s door), windows up, and the AC running. But shortly after, he received a text from a witness saying, “How could you throw the dog out of your car window while driving?” That text was accidentally forwarded to the rescue. Shocked, the rescue contacted the number and spoke to the witness directly. She reported seeing the foster throw Hannah out of his moving vehicle. She quickly turned her car around, rescued Hannah, and took her to Carson Animal Shelter. The foster later begged the rescue to return Hannah, even asking to adopt her. Thankfully, the rescue team immediately picked Hannah up from the shelter and brought her back to safety. Despite this traumatic event, Hannah is doing well—healthy, resilient, and still full of love. She’s now looking for her forever home, a foster, or a foster-to-adopt family. If you’re interested in giving this amazing dog the life she truly deserves, please contact the rescue. Hannah has been through so much, but she still believes in people. Let’s show her that trust was never misplaced.    May 19, 2025, 9:52 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt HANNAH, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
