About Hopper

Meet Hopper, an energetic and affectionate Catahoula Leopard Dog looking for an active home where he can thrive. This 3.5-year-old boy, born in December 2022, weighs in at around 50 lbs. Hopper loves playing with his people—whether it's fetching a ball, tugging on a rope, or engaging with a flirt pole, he's always ready for action. While he enjoys the company of humans, he tends to be less interested in other dogs, focusing more on his favorite toys. A bit shy around new people, Hopper requires slow introductions but quickly becomes a loving and friendly companion once he warms up. He shows remarkable intelligence and is eager to learn, impressively picking up skills like recall, down, and heel during his training. He rides well in the car and is a champ in his crate, making him a well-rounded companion. Due to his high prey drive, Hopper is not suitable for homes with cats and would thrive best in a household that provides ample playtime and opportunities for exploration. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to join a family that prioritizes ongoing training and guidance. For anyone looking for a loyal friend filled with spirit and fun, Hopper may be the perfect match! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
