Meet Hippo! He’s a stocky, 50 lb, purebred 2 year old English Bulldog with a funny lookin’ under bite who came to us from Redwood City when his owners could no longer keep him.
He’s fully housebroken, loves car rides, & loves meeting people. He’s easily entertained with a house broom and likes to play/chase it around, although is respectful of it when you actually want to get some house work done.
He likes to snooze in sunny spots, relaxes in his crate, loves attention, and will never turn down a treat! Hippo is a silly yet bossy boy, as many bully breeds can be. He needs some work around his leash manners as he’s a puller (which works as a skateboard buddy but not for your daily walk) and needs to be the only dog in the house as he’s people friendly but does not get along with other animals. Hippo has some silly antics trying to get your attention by grumbling so don’t be fooled and he gets the zoomies quite often which is always a spectacle.
Hippo is not a first time dog owner dog. He will need a strong leader that has previous breed experience, in an adult only household. His wiggles of excitement and rambunctiousness can easily knock over a small child. He should be the only dog in his home 🙂
Hippo is neutered, up to date on shots and is ready for his forever home! Please email adopt@rocketdogrescue.org (He will not be attending adoption events, unless meet & greets are arranged first.)
