Your Gentle Giant Looking for Love!
Hello there, I’m Hippo, a 5-year-old Bull Mastiff mix, a big boy at 87 lbs, and neutered. I was pulled from the Riverside shelter by TAP and I am so grateful for that! I have picked up bathroom manners and now work on leash manners. I have some anxiety and currently take Prozac (~$5.00) to help manage it. Monthly cost depending on where purchased and market value.
I may look imposing at first glance, but once you get to know me, you’ll see I’m the sweetest and most loveable companion you could ever ask for. I love affection, and snuggling up next to my humans is one of my favorite pastimes. When I’m inside the house, I sometimes get a bit anxious and bark at people passing by, but don’t worry – once we’re outside, I’ll mostly be an observer, calmly taking in the world around me. I can show some leash reactivity though. With some patience, understanding, and training, I’m sure I can overcome this behavior. I adore outdoor adventures and walks, but I can get a little distracted if there’s too much going on around me. I find night walks with minimal distractions to be the best for me. That way, I can focus on our quality time together without getting overwhelmed by everything happening around us.
I would absolutely love a fun-loving home with a yard! Having a safe and secure place to play and explore would make me one happy pup! I’m quite adaptable, so whether you lead an active lifestyle or prefer a more laid-back approach, I’ll fit right in. Just as long as I get plenty of love and attention, I’ll be content. So, are you ready to open your heart and home to a gentle giant like me? I guarantee that with a little understanding, patience, and love, I’ll be the most loyal and loving companion you could ever wish for. Let’s embark on this incredible journey together, creating unforgettable memories and forging an unbreakable bond.
My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/.
