✨ Meet the fabulous Hopper! This radiant 3-year-old male Catahoula Leopard dog is a true bundle of joy and energy! Tail wagging and eyes sparkling, Hopper is a whirlwind of fun, excitement, and love. 🎉 Now, let's talk about his energetic spirit! True to his breed, Hopper is a delightfully intelligent and ridiculously athletic pup! He absolutely thrives on playtime, whether it’s a game of fetch with a ball, tug-of-war, or chasing after a flirt pole. The world is truly his playground! 🌍🎾 When it comes to new faces, Hopper can be a bit shy at first, like that friend who takes a bit longer to warm up to a party. But with a little patience and some gentle introductions, those initial nerves melt away, revealing a heart of gold. 💖💪 Once he gets to know someone, he transforms into the most affectionate and friendly companion you could ever wish for. He’s sweet, silly, and always ready to sprinkle joy into your life. Hopper isn’t just about fun—he's got brains, too! He's currently excelling in obedience training, mastering commands like recall, down, place, and heel. So not only will he steal your heart, but he’ll also be the smartest one in the room! 🧠✨ On the road? Hopper is your perfect co-pilot. He rides like a champ and is absolutely great in his crate. He's also been a trooper with nail trims, proving he’s not just a pretty face! Although he gets along well with other dogs, he does have a playful side—watch out for those stolen toys as he zooms away! 🏃‍♂️💨 Just a little heads up: he has a high prey drive, so while he can remain calm around cats with supervision, it would be wise not to leave them alone together. Hopper is seeking an active home, one where he can enjoy plenty of playtime in the yard and thrilling outdoor adventures. He needs a loving family that can commit to his ongoing training and socialization—after all, he’s counting on you to help him blossom into the best pup ever! 🌼🏞️ Hopper is currently in a loving foster home in Richmond, VA, and is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $375. So, are you ready to welcome this joyful bundle of energy into your home? Don't wait! Apply to adopt Hopper through the Buddy App today! 📲💌
