My story

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

Hi, I’m Hopper!
Don’t let my name fool you—while I might not literally hop, I do bounce with husky energy and enthusiasm for life! I’m a young, spirited boy with that classic husky spark—playful, vocal, and always ready for action.

My life hasn’t always been easy. My previous owner didn’t take care of me, and now I’m heartworm positive with some health complications because of it. The truth is, no one knows exactly how much time I have left—maybe a few months, maybe a few years. But what I do know is this: I want to spend every day I have being loved, understood, and cherished.

Because I can get overstimulated and easily excited, I need a calm, structured environment with an experienced owner who understands active breeds like me. I’m looking for a home where I can be the only pet—no cats or dogs—and I’d do best in a home without children. I’m not trying to be picky; I just want to set everyone up for success!

Once I trust you, though? I’m all in. Loyal, joyful, and full of love to give. I may have a ticking clock, but I’m determined to make the most of every moment—with YOU.

If you’ve got a heart big enough for a dog like me, I promise to fill your days with companionship, laughter, and husky-level joy.

My adoption fee of $50 includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for? I will also have a free yearly exam and core vaccines for the rest of my life with the Wetness Clinic.

If you`d like to meet me, please fill out an application on our website, PawmettoLifeline.org. Adoptions are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please fill out the online application, and you will be contacted if you are approved and are a good fit for one of our adoptable pets.
