Story
Hancho is the total package — a big, handsome boy with a loving heart, a playful spirit, and the kind of loyalty that makes Rottie mixes so special. At 80 pounds, he may look imposing at first glance, but underneath that sturdy frame is a sweet snuggle bug who simply wants to be close to his people.Hancho was originally adopted by his foster mom in 2022 after she completely fell in love with him and decided she couldn’t let him go. Sadly, due to declining health, she is no longer able to care for him, and now this wonderful boy is once again searching for a forever family to love.Hancho has a nice medium energy level. He enjoys running around, playing, and having fun, especially with other dogs of any size, so a playful canine companion would be a dream come true for him. Once he’s gotten his zoomies out, though, he’s all about relaxing beside you for ear scratches, belly rubs, and cuddle time. He has been around children over 5 years old and does very well with them.He can be a little vocal when meeting strangers at first, but it’s all bark. Give him a smile, a kind voice, and a minute to warm up, and you’ll quickly see his affectionate and friendly personality shine through.Hancho is also cat-friendly, house trained, and crate trained. He does best being crated when left home alone since he occasionally forgets which items are actually dog toys. He rides nicely in the car, usually sitting quietly and taking in the scenery, and while he walks well on leash, he can pull a bit at times due to his size and enthusiasm.This smart, loving boy has already experienced being deeply cherished once before, and now he deserves another family who will love him just as much. Hancho is ready to bring joy, laughter, companionship, and cuddles to the lucky people who welcome him home.Name: HanchoBreed: Rottweiler/Labrador Retriever (Breed mix is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: MaleAge: 3-4 years (estimated)Weight: 79.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 7Good with Dogs: Yes but would do best living as an only dogGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $550.00 (includes transport fee when applicable) $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.Location of dog currently: TennesseeIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.
