About Hope

Hope is a 7-month-old Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix bursting with youthful energy and warmth. She blends playfulness and affection, so it's no surprise she quickly charms everyone she meets. Hope found herself at risk in the shelter after an owner surrender, but rescue gave her a shot at a happy future. This girl is friendly with people and other dogs, and she’d do best in a home that can match her active side, ideally with a playful canine buddy or a family that enjoys activity. Hope is both potty and crate trained—she’s eager to please and benefits from continued structure as she grows. She’s bright, loves carrying her toys (and the occasional shoe), and sticks close to her people. Watching her foster brother, Goji the bearded dragon, provides endless entertainment. She’s passionate about playtime and equally committed to cuddling up at the end of the day, although bathtime is not her favorite. Hope’s knack for de-stuffing toys is legendary, her devotion runs deep, and her silly personality guarantees she’ll be the heart of her new home. She does not get along with cats but is great with kids and other dogs. If loyalty, fun, and companionship are on your wish list, Hope is the dog to meet. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
