Adoption Pending! Hopi here! I am 1-2 years old, spayed female and up to date on my vet cares! My foster families (I have two that love me dearly!) tell me that I am a smart, busy, sensitive, velcro girl.  I love to play fetch and can run super-fast, but am always checking in to make sure my people are still nearby.  I can be very “puppy-like” even though I have already been a momma, and would love to have an active family willing to take me to obedience training to see my ability and excitement to learn new things. I would love a human to go on long jogs, or even short walks every day.  Inside the house, I am a “collector”, some might call it nesting, and I love to collect things that remind me of my foster family, such as clothes, shoes and picture frames and bring them to my bed. I don't chew on them, just pile them up and keep them safe!  This is one of my favorite things to do!  At night, I sleep in my crate with the door open and I don’t come out until my foster dad gets up in the morning.  I make sure my foster mom and dad get their beauty rest!  I am a velcro girl and think I am still small enough to sit on your lap!  I haven’t always had such an easy life and my foster parents tell me that I am a sensitive girl.  I most likely lived outdoors, so indoor stuff takes a little getting use to!  Sometimes a girl just needs a little encouragement and support.  If you will love me unconditionally; play with me; be encouraging and supportive and bring me to school so I can learn lots of stuff – you might be my soulmate family!  Love Hopi 

Hopi is an awesome dog - a diamond in the rough!  She is a very smart girl, busy, playful, and sensitive. She would love to have another young canine to play with in her new home!
