My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hopper is a sweet and affectionate dog who is looking for his forever home. He came into our care when his previous owners were no longer able to take care of him. Once Hopper bonds with his people, he loves to be around them. He spends most of his day in our offices and is a great work from home and office dog. Hopper loves going out on long and slow walks, taking in all the sniffs and sunshine. He was not accustomed to receiving treats but is slowly learning to accept them and be the spoiled dog that he deserves to be!

Hopper has seasonal allergies that require some medical care to keep him comfortable via ongoing medications. He has food sensitivities, so he will need to be on a limited ingredient diet (currently on duck and fish). Additionally, he is working through some skin issues and will require regular medicated baths to soothe his dry skin until it is back on track.

Hopper is looking for a loving home where he can be the center of attention and receive the care he needs.

If you're ready to give Hopper the loving home he deserves, come meet this special guy! Please note Hopper is a big boy weighing almost 100lbs.

Thank you for your interest in adopting! Do you think you could be Hopper's person? Apply today!

Whereas:

The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.

We pledge our energies to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals, who depend on humans for their well-being, experience, as a minimum, five essential freedoms:



1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease

3. Freedom from distress

4. Freedom from discomfort

5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
