About Whopper

Whopper is a distinguished gentleman around 4 years old, weighing in at about 109 lbs. Despite his size, he’s a bit overweight and is looking for a friend to help him on his weight-loss journey. He’s a great dog with a wonderful temperament. Whopper has met other dogs and gets along well with both males and females, showing respect for their boundaries. One of his standout traits is that he’s among the best walkers on a leash. If he happens to pull, he responds quickly to corrections and can easily be guided back to a steady pace. Whopper loves attention and has a knack for cuddling; he'll happily curl up in your lap and shower you with affectionate licks. He’s very treat motivated and already knows how to ‘sit.’ While we don’t have a clear history with kids or cats, we hope he can adjust well with proper introductions. He is already fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on parasite preventatives. Whopper's adoption fee is $185. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
