MIDLAND, Texas — Meet Chopper, NewsWest 9’s Pet of the Week courtesy of the Midland Humane Coalition.
Chopper is a two-year-old basset hound/terrier mix.
He is a short but stout dog with a scruffy wire-haired coat, who probably won't grow any bigger than he already is.
MHC says he was found outside of a local church tied to a tree.
The coalition was unable to find his previous owners and no one came forward to claim him; however, he was already neutered and had a collar so he must have had a family at some point.
Chopper is very friendly and likes to be a lap dog. MHC says he isn't reactive to the cats in the adoption center, so he might do okay in a home with a cat.
If you are interested in meeting Chopper, you can call the Midland Humane Coalition at 432-557-3405 or email them at ADOPT@midlandhumane.org.
