Hopper’s journey began as a stray on March 6, 2026, but this sweet 6-year-old Shepherd (mix with Husky?) hasn’t let his past dim his spirit. With his handsome black and tan coat and warm brown eyes, Hopper is a friendly, affectionate boy whose smile is absolutely contagious. Already neutered, he’s the perfect balance of calm and playful—settled enough to enjoy quiet moments, but still full of energy and fun when the adventure calls.
He’s been sharing his kennel with his buddy Joyce and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, proving he’s as social as he is loving. Currently fighting a cold, Hopper is expected to bounce back quickly, ready to show his future family just how special he truly is.
