About Hopkins

Hopkins is packed with energy and always ready for a cuddle or a new adventure. He thrives on attention, whether that's an ear scratch or a full-on snuggle session. Treats work wonders for him; they're the fastest way to gain his trust and start teaching him new things. When meeting other dogs, he can be a bit particular and would need to meet any future canine roommates first to see if they hit it off. Hopkins hasn't had notable experience with cats. Because he's still learning not to jump up, homes with children under elementary age won't be the best fit for him. He needs daily walks and plenty of play, so an active home suits him best.
