About Hope

Hope is a sweet girl who arrived at the shelter in very poor condition as a stray. Despite being severely emaciated and having a poor crop job on her ears, she greets new people with tail wags and happy wiggles. She's recovering well and gaining weight, eagerly waiting for her forever family to find her. Daily walks are a highlight for Hope; she loves to sniff around and explore her surroundings. Food is her favorite thing right now, although she could use some training on taking treats gently, as she tends to snatch them quickly from your hand. Hope has shown curiosity and friendliness when meeting other dogs at the shelter, though she does not get along with cats. While her suitability with children is unknown, her social nature makes her a great companion for dog lovers. If you're ready to give Hope the loving home she deserves, consider applying for adoption.
