Jane American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Williamsport, PA

Our little hippo.

Meet Jane, affectionately known as our Little Hippo. Jane was found as a stray this summer running around Williamsport. She seems to have had a home at some point, but due to some of her behaviors and reactions, we're wondering if perhaps it was a bit of a punitive, scary environment for Jane.

It took Jane awhile to warm up the shelter staff and environment (and for good reason, it's a busy, loud place in here). But once she did, we found out that she is a hambone of a girl. She's still very young, so she's full of energy and loves to exercise and have zoomies.

She recently joined our Freedom Runners program, where volunteers take dogs out on car rides and long walks with other dogs. She does very well! She enjoys the car ride and is learning to walk with other dogs. On her own, she walks great on a leash, a trait not often seen with stray dogs.

We enjoy how she lays like a frog, how her big meaty lips are so pluckable, and how she truly does look like a little hippo at times. (She also tends to snort, so we've started to call her Hip-Pig.) She also has a soft spot for biscuits with peanut butter.

Jane is eagerly looking forward to being in a cozy home of her own this spring, surrounded by love and her special persons(s).

She's ready and waiting in Kennel 75.
