About Hida

Hida, formerly known as Ripple, is a sweet and affectionate Mastiff who is ready for her forever home. After being surrendered due to owner financial difficulties following an incident with a squeaker toy, she has made a remarkable recovery, successfully passing her board-and-train with honors. Now, she’s brave and loves adventures, from car rides to meeting new people. She thrives on human interaction and adores kids, who always have a special place in her heart. Although she enjoys socializing with other dogs, Hida prefers a home where she can be the boss. Her recent placement didn’t work out because the other female dog was too dominant for her liking. To match her personality, she would benefit from living with a more submissive male dog or even as the only pup in a household. If you’re looking for a big cuddly companion, Hida will happily share your bed and fill your home with love. Don’t miss out on meeting this affectionate girl!
