ime as a stray, so his history is a bit of a mystery, but what we do know is he’s absolutely stoked about life. Hopscotch greets each day with full-body wiggles, enthusiastic kisses, and the occasional flying paw. He’s playful, affectionate, and always ready for whatever comes next. He’s obsessed with people and getting pets. He loves walks and exploring, squeaky toys and puzzles, car rides, and playing. Hopscotch loves meeting other dogs. He is still learning how to control his enthusiasm during play, though, so it’s best to stick to on-leash greetings for now. A fenced yard would be great for zoomies but he also enjoys checking out all the scents on a good long hike. A trip to doggy daycare is always swell, too. You provide the adventure; Hopscotch will provide the energy! With an affinity for treats and attention, and a desire to please, Hopscotch is very trainable. He knows some basic commands - sit, down, stay and shake - and is working on a few new ones. We wouldn't say his leash manners are refined yet, but they are improving daily with aforementioned encouragement and yummy treats as incentives. He’s also working on not door dashing and not jumping up to greet his human friends - he just loves everyone SO MUCH! A good guard dog, Hopscotch will bark at unfamiliar sounds but is not an excessive barker. He is fully house-broken. When left alone in his foster home (an hour or so at a time so far), he has been a good boy. This big boy is very energetic and will require an active family willing to give him plenty of exercise. Hopscotch finds managing his energy and impulse control a challenge and sometimes gets quite mouthy in his play with humans. A structured environment and continued training to correct this is critical. Due to his size and energy level, only homes with large breed savvy children who are 10+ will be considered. He has not been tested with cats but we have a feeling he may like to chase them. Hopscotch is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and ready to meet his forever family. Are you ready to give this loving, energetic, cuddle bug the chance he deserves? Submit an application today at .alternativehumanesociety.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
