Hopper and Maverick

Hi there, my name is Hopper! I’m a mixed breed pup with French Bulldog ears, a Shepherd or Husky face, and an English Bulldog stature. People who have come to meet me are a bit surprised at how big I am. The scale says I weigh about 60 lbs but I don’t feel that heavy because I am a low rider. I’m currently in foster care, and I’m really enjoying it but I would much rather have a permanent home. My foster mom says everything around me is just so exciting like I’ve never seen it before, like a fish in a fish tank or seeing this thing hoomans call a “fireplace” and how it makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. Despite my excitement, I’m a good boy who loves to play ball – whether it’s with a tennis ball or a big ball, I’m always ready for a game. And I never miss the chance for a good belly rub, they’re my favorite! I’m still learning how to live in a home, but I’m already loving the comforts of sleeping on the couch and taking afternoon naps. I’m a quiet dog during the day, but as soon as I fall asleep, my snores can make anyone laugh! Some people say I remind them of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, maybe it’s because of my strong and sturdy build or my good looks? But regardless, I’m ready to find my forever home where I can continue to explore and learn new things with my new family. So, are you ready to give me a loving home where I can play ball, take naps on the couch, and get lots of belly rubs?
