About Hope

Hope is an 11-week-old German Shepherd and Pit Bull mix who started off her life outdoors but is now learning the comforts of living inside a real home. She weighs about 14 lbs (the smallest of her siblings) but doesn’t let size slow her down—a playful spirit with plenty of energy, Hope enjoys treats, food, and handing out kisses to anyone nearby. Her foster describes her as spunky, silly, and brave, with a puppy personality that fills the room. Hope gets along well with both people and dogs, and she’s gentle enough for homes with children. She’s making progress on potty training, though she’ll need continued guidance as she grows. Her vaccines are up to date for her age, and she’s already microchipped and dewormed. Her future family will need to bring her back for her rabies shot once she’s old enough, but that’s covered by her adoption fee. Hope is now in Fort Worth, TX, waiting to find a home that will show her what it means to be cared for and loved indoors. Click apply to start the adoption process.
