Hans von Helmstadt is a beautiful 2.5 year old Shepherd/Husky mix with a beautiful speck of blue in his eye. Handsome Mr. Hans would make the perfect running partner or playmate for the family. His prior family (which included a 7 year-old child) only had great things to say, describing him as a "good dog" who is "so sweet." At the rescue, he comes out of his kennel happy and ready to start the day, and is curious about all the sights and smells around him.  He meets dogs well on leash and even tries to play with them, never missing an opportunity to make a new friend.  In his playgroups, he is a great greeter and just seems to be the happiest pup ever whenever he is surrounded by people and dogs. (But he's a no for cats.) He even shares his kennel with a doggie roommate! Always a goofball, he wants to clown around to get your attention and shows off his “sit” for treats.  This boy would be so happy to go on a hike with you or run along the beach playing fetch.  Hans can’t wait to have you over!
