Why rush through life when you can take your time to roll in the grass and smell the flowers? That’s Doodle Hopper’s philosophy! Slightly shy but super sweet, this easy-going, laidback chunk of a fellow is looking for a forever home that will accommodate his passion for snuggling. After all, humans make excellent pillows!

Dislikes: Hyperactive dogs.

Training: Doodle Hopper knows sit and stay, walks well on a leash, and is working on house training.

Yard requirements: Although a fenced-in yard isn’t a necessity, Doodle Hopper would love his own outdoor space where he could lie in the grass and sunbathe.

Health issues: Doodle Hopper is heartworm positive and is scheduled to begin his treatment on May 16, followed by two injections a month later. He can be adopted at any time throughout his treatment, which is covered by the rescue until his retest comes back negative.

His story: He was found as a stray on March 2. Although his past is unknown, the scars on his body point to a hard life. Despite his difficult beginnings, Doodle Hopper adores people and has so much love to give!

His ideal forever home: Doodle Hopper would thrive with a responsible, low-key person, couple, or family who will give him lots of time and affection. He would also benefit from having a laidback dog sibling who could help build his confidence.
