Hippo

Hippo is a sweet senior gentleman looking for a loving home to spend his golden years. Hippo loves everyone he meets- whether it's making new human friends or soaking up attention from familiar faces, Hippo is happiest when he's surrounded by people who love him.<br/><br/>Despite his age, Hippo still enjoys being part of the action, though he does have some stiffness in his hind end. He is currently on long-term Meloxicam to help keep him comfortable and mobile. Because of his mobility limitations, Hippo would do best in a home without young children who may accidentally bump into him or be too energetic around him.<br/><br/>When meeting other dogs, Hippo is wonderfully easygoing. He tends to ignore the other dog entirely and is usually much more interested in introducing himself to the other handler!<br/><br/>Hippo does have some ongoing medical needs that his future family should be prepared to continue. He requires:<br/><br/>Long-term Meloxicam for mobility and comfort ($150 every 1.5 Months)<br/>Long-term eye lubricant (OTC can be used)<br/>A Prescription Veterinary Diet (PVD) Derm diet with an S/O Index, which must be maintained long-term ($170 for a month and a bit)<br/>Daily Omega-3 supplementation (can get at any pet store)<br/>Hippo is looking for a family who will embrace both the joys and responsibilities of caring for a senior dog. In return, he'll provide endless affection, a gentle presence, and the kind of unconditional love that only a senior dog can give.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal companion to share your couch, your walks, and your heart, Hippo may be the perfect match. <br/><br/>Here's How It Works<br/><br/>We keep it simple.
