About Hopper

Meet Hopper, a bouncy 9-year-old Miniature Schnauzer mix weighing about 17 pounds. True to his name, Hopper loves to hop in happy circles and show off his signature spins. He's full of personality, with plenty of love to give. Though he’s a total cuddle bug at heart, he’s still learning the ropes of snuggling. In his foster home, he’s made wonderful strides like becoming 90% potty trained, sleeping soundly through the night in his crate, and conquering his fear of stairs. Hopper is great with other dogs, but he’s also a clever escape artist, so his future family needs a secure home with a fenced yard. He currently has a temporary buzz cut, but his scruffy coat will return once he reaches his healthy target weight of 25 pounds. What Hopper truly needs is a patient, loving family to help him feel cherished and safe. Could you be the one to give this sweet, bouncy boy his happily ever after?
