Meet Hopper! Just like his "Stranger Things" namesake, Hopper can be slower to give his trust, but he is profoundly loyal to those that are close to him, a guardian at his core, maybe even from Demogorgons and Mind Flayers. We estimate Hopper to be about 5 years old. He strikes us as mostly Anatolian Shepherd, possibly mixed with German Shepherd or Akita, but that's just our lucky guess! Hopper came to the shelter as a stray, so not much is known about his past. Since being at the shelter, we have found that he is highly treat motivated, and has some pretty spectacular skills when it comes to catching them, even at rapid fire speed! It's quite impressive! Based on our interactions with him, we feel Hopper would likely do best in a home without young children, and with an adopter who can offer him the patience he needs to acclimate to a new environment. You are just one treat toss away from a permanent protector of all things Upside Down, so come meet Hopper today!

Additional adoption info
We encourage everyone interested in adopting a new pet to come visit the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter to view the wonderful selection of cats, dogs and small animals we have available for adoption. When you see an animal you are interested in, come in as soon as possible as we are first come, first serve and are unable to place HOLDS on pets over the phone.
Speak to an Adoption Counselor at our Adoption Center regarding your interest to adopt and they will advise you of the Hold and Adoption process. All pets adopted from our facility are microchipped, spayed or neutered and vaccinated for Rabies prior to being released to the adopter. This is required by Texas State Law for any animal adopted from an animal shelter or rescue group. We do allow out of area adoptions as long as the selected pet is old enough to receive these services prior to being released to the adopter.
