My story

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

💛🐾 Meet Lulu — The Little Dog with the Biggest Heart 🐾💛
Some dogs demand your attention.
Lulu waits for it — and when you give it, she soaks it up like it’s the greatest gift in the world.
Lulu is a 1.5–2-year-old, 40-pound, tan-and-white all-American shelter sweetheart (we’re guessing a little hound, a little pittie, and a whole lot of perfect). She’s spayed, fully vetted, and truly pint-sized perfection — an ideal size for so many homes.
On leash, Lulu is a dream. She doesn’t pull, enjoys exploring at an easy pace, and genuinely loves being out in the world. But her absolute favorite thing? Affection.
When you stop to pet her, Lulu stops too — completely still — like she’s saying, “Please don’t stop. I’ll wait right here.” She melts into scratches, kisses, and kind words, and walks even more happily once she knows she’s safe and loved.
💫 What Makes Lulu Special:
Sweet, gentle, and incredibly tender-hearted
Wonderful leash manners
A great size for apartments or houses alike
Does well walking with other dogs, though she has a more confident, slightly dominant play style (meet & greets required to ensure the right match!)
A volunteer favorite who somehow keeps getting overlooked — and we truly can’t understand why
Lulu isn’t flashy. She doesn’t jump up or demand attention.
She quietly hopes someone will notice her — really notice her — and choose her.
And when they do? They’ll get a loyal, loving companion who will stand perfectly still just to feel your hands on her, your presence beside her, and your heart finally choosing hers.
Lulu is ready.
Ready for a home. Ready for love. Ready to stop waiting.
Could you be the one she’s been hoping for? 💛🐾

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.
