My story

We pulled Hopper (aka Hops) from a Kentucky shelter on 12/31/25 to save him from euthanasia He’s an 11 month old tripod puppy that is super friendly and loves to play. He is still working on basic obedience, but has no issues taking his toy to a dog bed or laying on the couch next to you to chew it. He had his leg removed in November 2025, so he does get a little fatigued as he’s learning to walk and run on 3 legs, but it doesn’t keep him from playing with other dogs or running circles in the yard. He also has a lot of other great qualities, including: ✅ house trained ✅ crate trained ✅ cat friendly ✅ dog friendly (male and female) ✅ people friendly/older children (ages 10+) ✅ no resource guarding ✅ loves attention and giving kisses ✅ leash manners with easy corrections We do ask that he goes to a home without small children as he is easily excited and still learning manners. Hopper is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Hopper, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
