My story

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

🌟 Meet Penny — the Sweetheart Who Loves Everyone She Meets! 🌟
If you’re looking for a gentle, happy-go-lucky companion who’s ready to fill your home with joy, Penny just might be your girl. This beautiful 1-year-old tan-and-white hound mix (with a possible hint of boxer in her elegant frame!) is tall, lean, and full of youthful charm — about 45 pounds of pure friendliness.
Penny is the kind of dog who makes every outing feel like an adventure. She walks beautifully on a harness and recently enjoyed a trip to the river. She wasn’t too sure about getting in the water, but she loved greeting everyone she passed. Kids, adults, you name it — Penny is convinced every new person is a potential friend. She even met a young girl with the sweetest tail wags and gentle excitement.
With other dogs, Penny is a star. She plays well, reads the room, and fits in easily with canine companions. And if you have cats? No problem — she gives them a polite “no thank you” and moves on with her day.
What Penny wants most is a family who will let her be her joyful, social, curious self. A home that enjoys walks, playtime, and plenty of affection would be perfect for her. She’s still young and ready to learn, and she’ll repay you with loyalty, laughter, and endless tail wags.
💛 Penny is ready to meet her forever family. Could it be you?
Come spend some time with her — you’ll fall in love the moment she looks up at you with those bright, hopeful eyes.

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.
