Meet Hopper, a charming and playful young pup whose unique 'hops' earned him his name! This sweet boy is full of life, always ready for a game with his favorite toys, and truly enjoys getting his zoomies out before settling down for a good cuddle. Hopper is described as loving and silly, bringing endless joy and laughter to everyone he meets. His delightful personality shines through in every interaction, making him an instant favorite.
As a German Shepherd Dog and Labrador Retriever mix, Hopper embodies a wonderful blend of intelligence, loyalty, and an active spirit. He's anticipated to be around 50lbs fully grown, offering a substantial and loving presence. Hopper's most distinguishing feature is a shorter front leg due to a birth defect; however, this doesn't slow him down one bit! He navigates the world with ease, is not in pain, and it simply adds to his unique character. He's proven to be dog-friendly and great with kids, having done well with children aged 9 and 12.
Hopper is seeking an active and loving family who appreciates his zest for life and unique charm. He's already housebroken and cratetrained, making his transition into a new home smooth and easy. An ideal home would provide him with plenty of opportunities for play and exercise, along with consistent affection. If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and truly special companion to brighten your days, Hopper is ready to hop his way right into your heart.
