My story

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

HOPPER

Male • Shepherd Mix • 7 Months Old • DOB 05/09/2025 • Healthy, Vaccinated & Neutered

Meet Hopper, the tiny bundle of joy with the biggest puppy heart. He may be small, but his spirit is absolutely overflowing—curious, cheerful, and always ready for whatever adventure comes next. Hopper is a wiggly, happy little guy who loves people, loves playtime, and loves learning new things. As he grows, he’ll become a loyal, active companion who thrives with structure, affection, and fun. He’s gentle, social, and eager to bond with his forever family. Hopper is truly the whole package in a pint-size frame.


Breed Info (Shepherd Mix):

Shepherd mixes are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and family-oriented nature. They thrive with training, structure, and mental exercise. They tend to bond deeply with their humans and love having a “job,” even if that job is just being your best little buddy.


Owner Responsibilities:

Hopper needs:

  • Consistent training (he’s smart and ready!)

  • Plenty of play, exercise, and enrichment

  • Patience through puppy phases

  • Routine and structure

  • Lots of love and engagement


Things to Consider Before Adopting:

  • Puppies need training, time, patience, and supervision

  • Will your landlord approve a growing dog?

  • Are you prepared for chewing, teething, early wake-ups, and learning curves?

  • Are you ready for YEARS of commitment, stability, and routine?

  • Are you prepared for a dog who will always want to be part of your day?


Vet Care:

Hopper is healthy, but always take your new dog to your own vet ASAP to continue proper care.


3-3-3 Rule:

  • 3 days to decompress

  • 3 weeks to learn routine

  • 3 months to fully bond and feel secure


Why Hopper Is a Great Addition:

Hopper is joy in puppy form. His enthusiasm, sweetness, and eagerness to bond make him a delightful companion who will grow into a loyal, loving adult dog. He’ll bring laughter, adventure, and bright energy into your home.
