Meet Hippo, a spirited 5-year-old female with the stocky charm of a North American house hippo and an outsized personality to match. She’s compact but strong—coming in at about 55-60 pounds—and her love for fetch is second only to her fondness for people. Hippo relishes her walks and is always up for playtime. While she can pull pretty hard on leash now, consistent training should make outings much smoother. She does best as the only dog in the home: Hippo’s manners with other dogs are still a work in progress, and she does not get along with cats. For humans, though, she’s all in—affectionate, playful, and eager for companionship. Hippo is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and reliably house trained. Her adoption fee includes a free training class to help kick off your life together. If you’re looking for a dog who brings energy, heart, and a little comedic bulk, Hippo is waiting in Cedar Rapids, IA. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
