Hypnose (“Hippie” for short) is a young Staffordshire bull terrier mix whose family has to move and can’t take him with them. He takes a minute to warm up to new people, but once he does he’s quite engaging.

More tests need to be done, but it appears that Hippie does not know how to “play ball.” He likes it well enough, but he’s one of those dogs who jumps up when the ball is headed down, and down when the ball is headed up. At 10 months old, there’s still hope he’ll get the hang of sports and not be relegated to a lifetime of participation ribbons.

No matter: Hippie is good with other dogs, cats and people. He will do best with a family who is home more often than not. He craves your company!

He is up to date on his vaccines, neutered and ready for you to come meet him at PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 2 to 6 p.m. You can also visit PAWS online at www.pawsgh.org, find them on Facebook or Instagram, or call 360-533-1141.
