Meet Hippo! He packs a lot of personality into a compact frame. Around the house, he leans into the lazy life—happiest as a mellow, affectionate couch potato. Once outdoors, though, Hippo perks up and is always game for a beach trip, a ride in the car, or exploring new places. He does have a streak of stubbornness on walks—especially around little dogs—so he’ll do best with someone confident who can handle reactivity and reinforce calm behavior. With patience (and a crate during introductions), Hippo adjusts well to other dogs and has lived peacefully with them after careful introductions. He travels well and quickly picks up house rules, as shown by his hotel manners in Vegas. Neutered and up to date on vaccines, Hippo is looking for an active buddy to show him how much fun the world can be. He does not get along with cats, but will make a loyal companion for someone experienced who can match his adventurous spirit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
