Meet Hopper!
Hopper is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu weighing about 13 pounds, and this resilient little guy is proof that a few obstacles can't keep a good dog down. Despite facing some challenges, Hopper approaches life with a happy heart, a wagging tail, and a determination that will inspire everyone he meets.
Hopper is considered special needs due to severe dry eye that went untreated before he came into rescue. Unfortunately, the condition caused scarring that left him mostly blind. He also received much-needed dental care after arriving, and several teeth had to be removed. Thanks to that care, he's feeling much better and ready to find his forever family.
While Hopper can't see very well, he doesn't let that stop him from enjoying life. Sure, he might occasionally bonk his head on a low-hanging object or get a little too confident and run into a wall, but he simply keeps right on going! His cheerful attitude and determination are truly heartwarming, and he always seems to find a way to put a smile on everyone's face.
Hopper absolutely loves treats and gets excited whenever snack time rolls around. His joyful personality shines through in everything he does, and he is always ready to share his love and happiness with those around him.
He is crate trained and is making great progress with his house training. Hopper is also working on his leash skills and will continue to benefit from patience and encouragement as he learns to navigate the world with limited vision.
Hopper is a sweet, lovable little dog who doesn't focus on what he can't do—he focuses on enjoying every day to the fullest. If you're looking for a special companion with a big heart, an inspiring spirit, and endless love to give, Hopper may be the perfect addition to your family.

Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws .
We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting.
We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and appreciate you working with us.For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process.
Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.
All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public in Oklahoma. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ/OR, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.
Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
