Hippo's Story

Meet Hippo! <br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog with the perfect mix of manners, personality, and couch potato charm, Hippo is your guy!<br/><br/>We can't understand why this sweet boy was never reclaimed from the shelter because it's clear someone spent time loving and training him. Hippo is fully potty trained and knows an impressive list of commands, including sit, shake, down, stay, and even speak!<br/><br/>Like any true bully breed, Hippo can switch from hilarious zoomie sessions to happily lounging on his bed (or yours!) with a Nylabone in record time. He loves stuffed Kongs, buffalo horns, and is always eager to earn a treat, making him a joy to continue training.<br/><br/>At 5 years old and 57 pounds, Hippo is a fun, stocky, well-mannered gentleman who's ready to bring laughter, companionship, and lots of love to his forever family. If you're looking for an easygoing best friend with a goofy side, Hippo is waiting to meet you!<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please the LSPCA website at https://www.lancasterspca.net/online-application to learn more about the adoption process and to fill out an application

Lancaster SPCA - SC's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process: We do not operate a shelter. All animals are placed in foster homes until a permanent home is found. If you are interested in meeting one of our fur-babies, please complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.LancasterSPCA.net. Once approved, we will set up a meet and greet at a mutually agreeable time. Please note that completion of our application does not guarantee adoption of a Lancaster SPCA animal. We reserve the right to refuse adoption for any reason. Our rescue is an all volunteer organization. For each application we receive it takes time to review, contact all personal and veterinary references, and make a decision on approval. Depending upon volunteer availability, this can take several days to accomplish, especially when we receive a lot of applications or if we have difficulty reaching references. An approved application means that the applicant is approved to adopt a pet from our organization; it is not a guarantee that the applicant will be able to adopt the pet specified on the application. We often receive many applications at once so please don't be too disappointed if your application is approved but the pet you requested is no longer available. We strive to do our best, and always take the best interest of the pet into consideration. Adoption fees: (For adoptions beginning June 1, 2018) -Puppies - $200.00 - Includes full veterinary exam, spay/neuter, microchip, deworming and age-appropriate vaccines.  -Adult Dogs / Seniors - $200.00 - Includes full veterinary exam, heartworm test, geriatric blood work (if needed), spay/neuter, deworming, rabies vaccine and adult booster, and microchip. -Cats & Kittens - $50.00 for one and $25.00 for each additional cat or kitten adopted at the same time - Includes spay/neutering, age-appropriate vaccines and FIV screening. Microchip available for additional $20. Kittens are litter box trained.  Please note the following important information before completing the application: --For the animal's safety, we require that all puppies & dogs are adopted to homes that have a physical fence (no invisible fence) in place at the time of the adoption. Apartments, condos and town homes will be evaluated on a case by case basis. --A home visit will be conducted by one of our volunteers before an animal is placed in the home. --We require that animals already residing in the home be up-to-date on all shots. --We require pets be adopted to inside homes. --For cat adoptions, we have a strict NO DECLAW policy and will not adopt an animal to a home that intends to declaw. --To be considered as an adopter, you must have the knowledge and consent of your landlord (if renting), allow LSPCA to contact both vet and personal references, consent to a home visit by an LSPCA representative and be willing and able to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and proper care for an animal.
