About Utopia

Utopia isn’t built for the sidelines. She’s ready to lace up her metaphorical sneakers and take on your next adventure, whether that’s a trail run, a round of fetch, or a backyard game of flag football. Forget about a lazy day on the sofa — Utopia thrives when she’s active and keeps her people moving, too. She might be a Catahoula and Mastiff mix or simply an All-American mutt; either way, her energy and focus make her a natural for agility and any challenge you throw at her. Utopia came from the Ashtabula Dog Warden and now waits in Chardon, OH, with high hopes someone can match her zest. At about 1 to 2 years old and around 50 lbs, she’s got plenty of stamina and her playful, slightly tomboyish attitude is hard to resist. She’s eager to please but still has a lot to learn about manners — at this stage, she’s a whirlwind of enthusiasm and will need structure and training to channel her energy. There’s no known history with cats or other dogs, and she’s best for a household with no children under 14. Her adoption includes spaying and up-to-date vaccines, both of which she took in stride. Utopia’s ready to meet her match. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
