Hopper

Hopper is a sweet chihuahua mix who absolutely loves his people. He's a tiny little guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He's the kind of dog who wants to be right by your side-curled up in your lap, following you from room to room, or just happily being part of whatever you're doing. He's incredibly friendly, gets along wonderfully with everyone he meets, and has done great with other dogs, especially those his size.

This little guy has a playful, energetic spirit and loves being outside, exploring and enjoying the fresh air. He's leash trained, potty trained- outside only, and overall a very easy, well-mannered companion. He's also smart and eager to keep learning as he continues his training.

Right now, Hopper is still healing from a broken leg, so he'll need a family committed to keeping his activity level low for about another month while he finishes recovering. Don't let that fool you though-his happy, bouncy personality is already shining through, and once he's fully healed, he's going to be ready to jump right back into all the fun life has to offer.

Hopper would do great in just about any home, including one with kids, as long as his people are around often-he truly thrives on companionship and love. While he enjoys other dogs and would be happy to have a playful buddy, he doesn't require one as long as he's getting plenty of attention from his humans.

Hopper is the kind of pup who will stick close to your heart (and your lap), bringing joy, snuggles, and the sweetest companionship every single day. He's affectionate, even-tempered, playful, and just an all-around little sweetheart who is ready to find his forever family.

Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter's expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
