More about Hippo

Meet Hippo! This is a 5 year old female, North American house hippo...seeking a house!    Hippo is a wonderfully spirited and friendly girl, and her name certainly suits her as she is a short and squat little thing with a mighty powerful personality! Hippo loves people, almost as much as she loves playing fetch!  She may be on the shorter side, but she's still a strong girl at around 55-60 pounds and can pull quite hard on a leash.  She enjoys walks and we know that with a little training she will start to ease up on her leash pulling! Hippo seems to be dog friendly, but is perhaps most interested in hanging with fun people that like to play with her! She is not a match in a home with cats and has not perfected her dog to dog manners well enough yet to live easily with another dog.   Hippo's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccines and monthly preventatives plus a free basic training class at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha.  If you would like to meet Hippo, please submit an adoption application on our website (Adopthope.org). Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit, we do require that adopters have a history of having kept all animals as indoor pets only, altered and kept current on vaccines and preventatives.
