About Hopper
Meet Hopper! š¾
Hopper is a chocolate and tan Chihuahua puppy with a sturdy little ābeef nuggetā build that has people constantly mistaking him for a tiny Kelpie pup. With his soulful eyes, stocky frame, and sweet nature, Hopper is impossible not to fall in love with.
Out of the litter, Hopper is hands-down the cuddliest and the biggest mummaās boy of the bunch. He absolutely adores being close to his humans and would happily spend his day curled up beside you, following you from room to room, or snuggled into your lap for a nap.
While he has a gentle, sensitive nature, Hopper still has that playful puppy spark. He can be bold when he needs to be, especially when joining in adventures with his siblings, but deep down heās a soft-hearted little guy who mostly just wants affection, reassurance, and someone to love on.
And like any respectable puppy, Hopperās favourite hobbies currently include enthusiastic cuddling and lovingly chomping on your hands during playtime.
My Ideal Home:
Hopper is looking for a home that will continue building his confidence through positive training and socialisation while also embracing his affectionate nature. Puppy school will be an important part of helping him grow into a confident and well-rounded adult dog.
Because heās still a tiny puppy navigating a very big world, Hopper will benefit from gentle exposure to new experiences at his own pace.
He would likely thrive in a home with another friendly small dog to bond with and learn from.
My Energy Level:
Hopper enjoys playful bursts of energy throughout the day, whether thatās zooming around the yard, wrestling with his siblings, or exploring alongside his people. Once heās had some fun, though, heās more than happy settling in for cuddles and a nap.
Heās a beautiful mix of playful and affectionate.
My Suitability to Children:
Due to his small size and sensitive nature, Hopper would be best suited to a home with older children who understand how to interact gently and respectfully with dogs.
My Suitability to Other Pets:
Hopper has grown up around multiple other dogs and enjoys canine companionship. He would likely do very well with another calm, friendly dog in the home. Has yet to meet cats but with the right intro he'd be fine!
Hopper may not be the loudest or sassiest of the group, but heās the one who will quietly steal your heart. Heās sweet, snuggly, sensitive, and full of love, with just enough cheeky puppy attitude to keep life entertaining.
If youāre looking for a loyal little shadow who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Hopper could be your perfect match.

Adoption details
We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form.
For Cats: https://form.jotform.co/92940837256870
For Dogs: https://form.jotform.co/80677377750872
Please use these links rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile to streamline your enquiry.
Our foster carer will contact you when we receive your application to arrange a time for you to meet with their foster pet.
We want your adoption through Maggie's to be a good experience so we will occasionally suggest a different cat or dog that may suit your situation better and the needs of the individual pet.
All our pets leave for their new homes on a two-week trial. At the end of the trial, we will transfer the microchip into your name and provide you with the pets vet certificates. Once you receive the Certificate of Identification from council, your adoption will be complete.
Please consider, that a Maggie's Pet is a pet for Life, before adopting.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
