Hopper thinks about what would happen to Ellie if he and Beverly were to disappear and looks over at the dog now where she's lying peacefully in her bed. He can't take on two more dogs, but he hates the idea of them being thrown into a shelter.

"Do you?" he asks. "Want them? Even just one of 'em?"

Maybe he can take one if Laura takes the other. It's a stupid thing to focus on, but it's something he can do, something tangible he can try to fix.
