Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 2-year-old Royce.

Here is Baypath’s description of Royce:

“Royce is a young, happy-go-lucky pup with a goofy grin and a heart full of love. This playful boy is always ready for his next adventure — whether that’s a long walk, a game of fetch or zooming around the yard showing off his silly side. Royce has a sweet, affectionate nature and loves being around his people, soaking up attention and sharing his cheerful energy.

“He’s also a smart and eager learner who enjoys training time. Royce has already mastered commands like ‘sit,’ ‘paw,’ and ‘other paw’ and is currently working on perfecting his ‘down.’ With his love of treats and praise, he’s excited to keep learning and showing off his skills.

“Royce would be a wonderful match for an active family excited to keep him moving and continue his training as he grows into the best version of himself. If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion who will keep you smiling and by your side through it all, Royce may be your perfect match.

“Even better — Royce’s adoption fee has been generously sponsored, making it easier than ever to welcome this happy pup into your life.”
