Hachi is a 5-year-old German Shepherd with all the qualities that make the breed so beloved — loyal, intelligent, and deeply affectionate once he trusts you. He’s looking for a calm, patient person who will give him the time and space to introduce himself on his own terms. Once that bond is formed, he’s all in.

Hachi is housebroken, knows his commands, and is very food-motivated (he’ll happily work for treats!). He loves squeaky toys, chasing balls, splashing in a kiddie pool, and would be thrilled to be your backyard buddy — just lounging and keeping you company. He’s well behaved indoors, enjoys car rides, and thrives when given enrichment and mental stimulation.

Because of his sensitive nature, Hachi would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with low foot traffic and a secure yard. He doesn’t ask for much — just the chance to belong, to be loved, and to love someone right back.

Hachi is available for adoption in the Greater Los Angeles area.
