About Hope

Hope is a little over a year old and combines a bright, energetic spirit with a love for her people. This brindle, medium-sized German Shepherd Dog/Pit Bull Terrier mix is very playful, always up for a game of bubble chasing, and is house trained and crate trained. She's happiest when receiving praise and treats for following basic commands, and she's not shy about giving out plenty of kisses in return. Hope prefers to sleep in her crate, finding comfort there as her safe space, though she’s still working on hopping in and out of the car. You’ll want to skip leaving blankets or dog beds in her crate since she likes to chew them, but she leaves furniture and couch blankets unharmed.
