y for the safety of the dog, volunteers, and staff - but it also means his opportunities for enrichment and social interaction are unfortunately restricted. The need for skilled handling stems from redirected bites that occurred while he was being taken out of his kennel. Redirected responses are stress-driven reactions commonly seen in high-arousal shelter environments, rather than an intentional attempt to harm. We will take steps to reduce the likelihood of this happening again, including modifying handling protocols and minimizing exposure to known stressors. However, the shelter environment continues to create significant strain for him, and remaining here increases the risk of repeated incidents. If we are unable to provide him with handling and enrichment or his stress levels continue to elevate, he may become a candidate for humane euthanasia. For the safety of the dog, volunteers, and staff - and to give him the best chance to decompress and succeed - we urgently need a foster, adopter, or rescue placement. A calm, stable home setting will allow him to de-escalate, lower his arousal, and show his true behavior more reliably than what we are seeing in the shelter. If you would like to help Hansel, please reach out to us ASAP!

Offsite, he is easy to walk and has successfully met lots of new people. The shelter is really taking its toll on this boy and he is urgently looking for placement. vcanimalservices Adopt or Foster Hansel — Call to Action at Ventura County ??? Hansel (#A876506 ?

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
