My story

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

✨ Meet Jeremy — Your Very Own Canine Chewbacca ✨
Young, 70 pounds of chocolate-colored dream, and possibly not even a year old, Jeremy is turning heads everywhere he goes. Breed guess? Maybe German Wirehaired Pointer, maybe doodle mix… maybe just 100% handsome goofball. One thing’s for sure: if you’ve ever wanted a Chewbacca lookalike in dog form, this is your guy. 🐻🐶
We’re still getting to know Jeremy, but here’s what’s already crystal clear — this dog is ALL about fun. He’s outgoing, affectionate, and loves getting out for walks. He seems to do well alongside other dogs and enjoys their company (as always, meet and greets are required to make sure the vibes are right).
Jeremy is big, energetic, and full of puppy enthusiasm, which means he’s going to need an adopter who’s ready to put in a little work. Training? Yes. Structure? Definitely. But the payoff? A loyal, confident, well-mannered best friend who’s already overflowing with personality and potential.
💛 Jeremy brings:
Big puppy energy and a playful spirit
Affection, curiosity, and fun
A stunning, scruffy look that stops people in their tracks
Tons of potential to grow into an amazing adult dog
We’re honestly shocked no one came looking for this cutie — but their loss might just be your gain.
If you’re ready for a young, goofy, lovable project with movie-star looks and a heart full of joy, Jeremy is ready to meet you.
Come see him at Hopewell Animal Services and start your next great adventure together. 🐾✨

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.
