🐾 Meet Sweet Pea: The Patient, Active, and Loving Companion You've Been Waiting For! 🐾
Introducing Sweet Pea, a stunning brindle female who has been waiting patiently for her forever family for far too long. Sweet Pea is not just a dog; she's a bundle of love and energy, ready to bring joy and companionship to your life.
Sweet Pea is seeking an active home that can keep up with her boundless energy and zest for life. If you're an active and adventurous soul looking for a loyal partner, Sweet Pea might just be your perfect match. She's a true adventurer, always ready to join you on your outdoor escapades.
While Sweet Pea thrives in an active environment, she would be best in a home with older children who can match her enthusiasm and energy. She has also shown her friendly nature by getting along well with dogs she's met, making her a fantastic choice for families with furry friends.
Despite her extended stay at the shelter, Sweet Pea's sweet and loving nature has remained untouched. She is a gentle and loyal dog, waiting for a family to call her own. She is more than ready to become the devoted and cherished member of your family.
Don't wait any longer to meet this amazing pup! Give your local shelter a call to schedule a time to meet Sweet Pea and see for yourself why she would make an incredible addition to your family. She's more than just a pet; she's a loyal friend and a loving companion, eagerly awaiting her forever home. 🏡❤️🐾 #AdoptSweetPea #ActiveCompanion #ForeverFamily

More about this shelter
The City of Hopewell Animal Shelter is run by the Animal Control Officers. We fall under the Hopewell Police Department and train accordingly to serve the animals and the public of Hopewell. Our shelter is currently a small scale shelter with 28 dog kennels and 14 cat cages.
Our shelter is often full. We work hard to find our animals that are not claimed by an owner a new home or an approved rescue.
Most of our animals at our facility are animals that were found running loose that no one came to look for. We do often get animals in from owner surrenders where the previous owners can no longer care for them. At times we also seize animals and they will eventually need forever homes or rescue.
Come on down to the City of Hopewell and meet the wonderful Animal Control Officers and the Shelter staff that care for the animals on a daily basis.
