Story

Hi, I'm Sabrina! I am laid back and love a simple routine, but am also excited to explore the world. Though I cherish quiet moments like basking in the sun, I can easily be convinced to go for a walk, a hike, or even pull my owner on a skateboard! Me and my toy ball are inseparable and I'm always eager for a game of fetch or tug of war with it. My independent spirit means I'm content on my own but always loyal to those I love. I've also mastered the art of being super attentive to human's moods and am always ready to offer love, cuddles, and gentle kisses during anxious or hard times. Because I was attacked as a puppy, other dogs make me upset, so I need to be an only pet. If you're looking for a sweet soul to share in both peaceful and playful times, I'm your girl!

Story

She’s a very smart dog. Loves attention. Loves her belly getting scratched. She’s crate trained. We trained her with a shock collar but shock her twice the entire time we’ve had her. She was raised with cats and birds. She doesn’t like small dogs. But we have not reintroduced her to small dogs. She’s full of energy for age.

Story

Hello, this is Oreo. He is a Rottweiler/pitbull mix. I rescued him when he was approximately 10 weeks old. He is 8 years old now. Housebroken. Gets along with other dogs. Loves to lay around. He is a sweetheart that loves people and goes wherever the people are. He is getting older and starting to shed a lot more with noticeable skin issues. He also has been getting ear infections more frequently. Otherwise he is a healthy dog! He is up to date on his rabies shot. Since all the kids have left the house and the adults are not home much, he spends a lot of time alone and his quality of life has noticeably decreased. Oreo would do great with a retired family that spends a lot of time at home. He is a true companion. He would thrive in a sanctuary environment as well.

Story

💛🐾 Meet Jingles — Ready for His Person 🐾💛 Jingles is a 2.5–3-year-old, 60-pound caramel-and-white all-American shelter dog with a whole lot of love packed into him. A little hound, a little pittie, and a whole lot of heart. He’s affectionate, playful, and athletic — but what really stands out about Jingles is how much he wants to be with people. When he comes out of his kennel, he’s full of excitement, tail wagging and eyes bright, just happy to be spending time with a friend. And once he’s out? He settles nicely and enjoys his walks, soaking up every moment. Jingles is smart and eager to learn (he already knows sit!), loves treats, and would be such a joy for someone who wants a dog they can grow with. He has so much potential, and like so many great dogs, he’s simply waiting for a chance to show it outside the shelter environment. An active home where he can go on adventures, stretch his legs, and then come home to rest and feel safe would mean everything to him. He seems to enjoy other dogs, and meet-and-greets are always encouraged to make sure everyone’s a good fit. ✨ Jingles doesn’t need perfection — he just needs his person. Someone to choose him, to take him home, and to give him the life he’s been waiting for. If you’re ready for a loyal companion and a full heart, Jingles is waiting for you at Hopewell Animal Services. 🐶💛
