They do a great job here. I’ve just started to volunteer at Hopalong and I’m so happy to be able to help. 100% recommend it to all cat and dog lovers.

Foster puppy and my own pup adopted 3 years ago from Hopalong. Very supportive team, always on hand for a call or to lend advice. #adoptdontshop

We adopted our puppy from Hopalong in January 2020. She was fostered by Tina who is absolutely hands down the greatest foster any dog could have. I am floored by any negative comments. She IS picky about potential adopters and for very good reason. There are so many people out there that should never have a dog. She has a keen eye for choosing the right person. She has hand raised many puppies that were dumped that were literally days old and raised them to be amazing dogs. She is absolutely incredibly caring, and nurturing and wants the best for every dog. Her own dog has been the nanny to all the puppies and dogs she has fostered. I cannot say enough great things about this organization. They are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful foster mom.

We cannot say enough good things about Hopalong and Tina. We were casually looking for just the right dog when we met Tina. She was kind enough to invite us to her home to meet her puppies where we met and fell in love with our little Marvel, he is the puppy of Mama who is mentioned below. We visited her home multiple times to play with Marvel and Tina asked us lots of questions about ourselves, our lifestyles, and how we viewed topics like discipline, health and exercise, and sleep arrangements for our dogs. She allowed us to fall in love with Marvel while making sure that we would be a good fit for him. The adoption process was smooth and we had no problems bringing our little guy home. We maintained contact with Tina and consider ourselves lucky to call her a friend. We loved our experience with Hopalong and Tina so much that a year after getting Marvel we contacted Tina about getting a sibling for our dog, and she promptly told us she had the perfect puppy for us. We have two wonderful dogs thanks to Tina and we have seen all the hard work she puts into caring for her puppies and finding them the perfect forever homes. Each dog leaves her home to a new deserving family that gives them the best possibly home because of her hard work.

I walked into the petco in alameda and didn't even make it past the front door mat... I fell in love with this little runt of the litter! My boyfriend and I had to have her to an addition to our family. The staff at petco was beyond helpful but the woman I spoke with on the phone with hopalong was so warm and kind while giving us our interview. I absolutely love how their organization handles themselves! I just received my holiday packet thanking me for our adoption and varies donations. Look for your fur-ever baby through this beautiful rescue! They truly care about the animals that they care for. I adopted this beauty (Autumn) a year ago today and she is fur-sure my kitty soul mate! Thanks again hopalong!

Tina is the best foster mom ever! Tina, Gary, and Nulo are such warm and wonderful people. They did a fantastic job helping me navigate the adoption process. It’s been difficult to get a rescue doggy during the pandemic, but because of them I have a new best friend! Tina and Gary treat each and every foster dog so well. They provide premium food for their foster babies (and even cook for them!), spoil the heck out of them, and provide the best possible interim environment for them before they go their furever homes. Tina was always accessible throughout the adoption process. The family welcomed me into their home several times to visit my baby Momo and bond with her before she was ready for me to take her home. Tina is also a fount a knowledge and gave me so much invaluable advice. Tina and Gary care so much about their foster babies and go above and beyond to ensure each and every one of them is matched well with a compatible family who will provide a loving home. I’m so grateful to them!
