My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lightnin’ Hopkins (“Hops) is a happy little guy with a lightning bolt on his forehead. He is 25 lbs and 6 months old. Hops will probably be a 40-50 lb dog when he is full grown. He is very much a mixed breed, but may have some pit bull or border collie in him. Hops sometimes guards his stuff other dogs, so might prefer to live with a dog who doesn’t mind this behavior, or as an only pup.

Hops has been living with a dog trainer, other dogs and a cat since mid October and has learned how to sit, lie down, stay, come when called, sleep in a crate and eat out of Kongs. He has done really well on off leash hikes in the mountains, he’s a "velcro" dog and checks in often. He is super smart, loves people and is a good snuggler, and is well on his way to being house trained. He is busy and mouthy and very much a puppy still, so will need someone to reinforce the good behavior he is learning.

Please note: we are a foster-based rescue group, not a shelter. We do not have a brick & mortar facility and all of our pets live in homes throughout the city. All meetings are by appointment only after we have an approved application on file. Please do not visit any address listed online unannounced.

Also note: Hops is located in Weaverville, NC.
