Story
🎉 Meet Jingles — Ready for Adventure (and New Dog Friends)! 🎉 Jingles is a 2.5–3 year old, 60-lb caramel-and-white all-American shelter dog (likely hound with a little pittie flair) who is ready to find his forever home — and maybe a canine buddy, too! 🐾 This sweet, playful guy is excited when he first comes out of his kennel, then settles in nicely once he’s on the move. On walks, Jingles takes in the world with curiosity and walks fairly politely by your side in a harness. He enjoys affection, leans in for pets, and already knows sit — a great foundation for continued training. 🐶 Canine Social Notes: ✔️ Shows interest in other dogs ✔️ Walks nicely alongside canine friends ✔️ Enjoyed off-leash playtime with a female shelter dog ✔️ Meet-and-greets are required to make sure personalities and play styles are a good fit Jingles would be a great match for an active home that wants a dog to join them on walks, outings, and everyday adventures. With his young age, sweet nature, and eagerness to learn, he has tons of potential to be an amazing companion. Come meet Jingles at Hopewell Animal Services — and if you have a dog at home, bring them along for a meet-and-greet to see if the vibes are just right! 🐕💙

Story
💪🐾 Bruiser: Big Head, Bigger Heart! 🐾💪 If you’re looking for a total heartthrob, Bruiser is your guy. This 2–3 year old, 50-pound white and brindle hunk has a giant blocky head, an even bigger smile, and the sweetest personality to match. 😍 He may come out of the gate with a little strength and excitement (he’s a strong boy!), but after a short burst to get the wiggles out, he settles into being a mostly easy walking buddy. He’s very attentive, easy to redirect, and eager to please. ✨ Bruiser’s Best Qualities: 🐾 Very sweet and affectionate 🦴 Treat motivated and gentle taking snacks 🎓 Seems to know “sit” (or is a very quick learner!) 👧 Good with kids — respectful and well-mannered 🐶 Enjoyed playtime with a female dog and was tolerant of her play style 🌟 Rockstar at a recent off-site adoption event Bruiser has that rare combo of strength, sweetness, and social skills that could make him a great fit for just about any home. Come meet this handsome boy at Hopewell Animal Services and see why everyone who meets him falls for that big smile. 💙🐶

Story
💛🐾 Kevin Is So Much More Than a Kennel Number 🐾💛 Kevin is a 2–3 year old, 50-lb tan and white All-American good boy (maybe a little black mouth cur, maybe some shepherd — 100% heart). Shelter life has been overwhelming for this sensitive guy, but look a little closer and you’ll see it: Kevin is smart, attentive, athletic, and so ready to bond with his person. When he gets out of the kennel, he lights up. He loves car rides, is super treat motivated, and would be an amazing companion for someone who enjoys staying active and keeping their dog engaged. 🐶 Kevin’s highlights: ✨ Super affectionate and people-focused ✨ Dog friendly — especially with pups who enjoy his rambunctious play style ✨ Athletic and eager to learn ✨ Tons of potential with the right guidance Kevin just needs time — time to decompress, settle into a routine, and feel safe. With a patient, understanding (likely adult-only) home, this boy is going to absolutely blossom. If you’re the kind of person who sees potential, who understands that the best dogs sometimes need a little extra grace at first, Kevin might be your perfect match. Come meet him at Hopewell Animal Services and see the sweet, loving dog waiting behind those kennel doors. 💛🐶

Story
This is my American Bully / Pitbull mix. KING, I acquired him as a puppy from a private owner. He is about 2 years old. Due to personal circumstances, I’m looking to rehome him and make sure he goes to a loving, responsible home. He is a strong, loyal, and affectionate dog who enjoys being around people. He’s very alert and protective, but also sweet and playful once he’s comfortable. He does best with someone who has experience with bully breeds and can give him the time, structure, and attention he deserves. I’m looking for a home that can provide stability, patience, and regular exercise. A small rehoming fee of $100 applies to ensure he goes to a serious and caring owner.

Story
🛡️🤍 Xena: Warrior Princess of Second Chances 🤍🛡️ Meet Xena, a 3–5 year old brindle and white boxer mix with the sweetest eyes and the gentlest soul. When she first arrived at Hopewell Animal Services, she weighed just 34 pounds — a heartbreaking sign of the neglect she endured. Thanks to lots of TLC, good meals, and kindness, Xena is starting to fill out — and her spirit has never been stronger. 💛 She may have come from a tough past, but she’s left it behind and is fully focused on her bright future. ✨ Sweet and gentle ✨ Wonderful on leash ✨ Enjoys walking with other dogs (meet & greets required) ✨ Receptive to affection and direction ✨ Very treat motivated (and understandably enthusiastic about snacks!) Xena doesn’t ask for much — just quality food, soft beds, and a home filled with love. She’s ready for her next chapter, one where she’ll never have to wonder where her next meal or cuddle is coming from. If you’re looking for a resilient, loving companion with a heart of gold, Xena is ready to meet you. 🐶💕

Story
Harlo was born around April 19th 2024. I adopted Harlo when he was 4 months old, he was picked up by a local shelter as a stray. He lives with two other dogs and one cat, however, he will not leave the cat alone and it’s getting worse as he gets older. I have children in the home ages 5 - 17 and he has always been good around them. He is up to date on his shots, he is neutered and microchipped. I did have a DNA test done on him. He is a fence jumper, easily gets up and over a 6’ fence, so please be mindful of that. He is a very sweet dog and loves to cuddle next to you. He is also crate trained. I currently have been feeding him Purina True Instinct in a slow feeder bowl, otherwise he likes to inhale his food. He has always been good about letting me trim his nails and behaves in the bath. He could use some work on his manners but overall he is a good dog.
