Getting a dog is such an exciting time! While you are picking out food, toys, treats, and other dog necessities, you might be forgetting about one of the most important tasks you will have as a pet owner: choosing the perfect name for your new pooch.

Raising Hope Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog With a Raising Hope Inspired Name

Hope

Hope is the name of a dog who made headlines in 2012 in Park County, Texas, after she was found with her snout wrapped with electrical cord. The binding left Hope's tongue swollen. She had also been stabbed numerous times and was suffering from severe dehydration. When Hope was found, temperatures in the Texas town were well over 90 degrees. Hope had to have surgery and more than 100 stitches, but she overcame the ordeal and was adopted by a local family. She is a Pug-mix who was estimated to be around four years old at the time she was found. Lucky to be alive, Hope now has a new lease on life, but a year after she was found, nobody had been identified as her abuser. Thousands of dollars have been raised for Hope's medical treatment from all over the world, however, making her an internationally known pooch.

Chance is our second famous dog with a Raising Hope inspired name. Chance is the beloved American Bulldog in the movie Homeward Bound. While in the film Chance is an American Bulldog played by a dog named Rattler, in the book he is actually a Labrador Retriever. In the film, Chance was loved for his spunky personality, but he seems to get the crew into quite a bit of trouble. Michael J. Fox voices Chance in the movie, which makes him all the more memorable. Chance and his friends Shadow and Sassy make quite a journey to find their family after they are left behind when the family moves.

Another movie dog named Chance is a Pit Bull puppy in the film Chance the Movie. In this animated film, Chance is a sweet puppy who is purchased by a cruel owner to become a fighting dog. While Chance struggles in the film, the point of the movie is to show the vicious world of dogfighting.

Raising Hope Inspired Dog Name Considerations

Picking a dog name is no easy task. You have a lot to think about. What kinds of names do you like? Does the name you love fit your dog's personality? Will you get tired of the name? All of these questions can make the process seem incredibly daunting, but it doesn't have to be such a hard thing to do. You might want to think about what your new furry friend looks like and how they behave. If you have a really outgoing dog, you might want to choose a name that fits the dog's personality. You might also pick a name that suits your dog's appearance. For example, a large, muscular pup might make a good Butch. If you start to get stuck, however, there are other sources of inspiration that you can tap into.

As you start to get frustrated during your name search, you might have to start thinking outside of the box for inspiration. We love to take movies, television shows, books, and other pop culture sources and find great names from those sources of inspiration.
