Hansel is on our Call to Action list due to severe levels of kennel stress and reactivity that have increased with the length of his shelter stay. When Hansel arrived at the shelter, Hansel was fearful, but quickly warmed up to shelter volunteers. He was easy to walk and successfully met lots of new people. Unfortunately, the shelter is an extremely stressful environment and we are seeing it affect Hansel for the worst. He has been biting at his kennel towards volunteers trying to take him out, and now barks, growls, and lunges whenever a person passes by his kennel. Hansel is in urgent need of a foster, adopter, or rescue group to help him decompress for the shelter environment, as he is becoming difficult to safely handle here.
