My story

My story

Big Hans comes from the Animal Protection Education Park in Taoyuan City. In January 2023, his owner could no longer take care of him due to a move, since then Big Hans became a stray dog ​​without a home. A dog of this size would frighten people if he wandered on the street, so the public reported to capture him and he entered the Taoyuan Animal Protection Education Park. Although he looks like experiencing many vicissitudes of life, he is not that old and he is full of energy to play with people! The PACK team came across him occasionally, and the evaluator thought that there was no problem for him to live with a family. He is gentle and honest, very close to dogs and humans. He must be a great companion dog. Do you want a warm large dog? Big Hans is waiting for you!
