Hopper is a handsome mix of American Staffordshire Terrier/Cattle Dog/Golden Retriever and 100% built for adventure. He was born on March 21st, 2026 and is ready to find his forever home! This guy is the canine equivalent of a hiking buddy, a personal trainer and a golden-hearted best friend all rolled into one. He is smart, athletic, eager to learn, and happiest when his body and brain is busy! He will thrive with an active family committed to exercise, structure and training. Experience is preferred- this kiddo is brilliant, but he is not a 'starter dog.' BONUS: Hopper comes with FREE training through Rosie Dane Dog Training once he is old enough, so you'll have support from day 1. If you're ready for muddy paws, big adventures, and a dog that will love you with her whole heart, Hopper is waiting! HOPPER'S ADOPTION FEE IS $200 (which covers most of the medical costs.)The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess. Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up. All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in. Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog!
