Meet Eddie — your velveteen hippo with the softest heart! Are you my forever family?
Eddie is a blocky-headed, plush-coated heartthrob with the most stunning green eyes; equal parts street-smart and soulfully sweet. He’s got a lot of love and a presence that makes people stop and feel something. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with the gentleness of a velveteen hippo, the soul of a poet, and the cuddle power of a weighted blanket… this is your boy.
At just 2 years old, Eddie has already overcome more than most dogs ever should. He was once tethered on the streets of Skid Row and used as a bait dog. And yet… he chose softness. Today, Eddie is safe and finally learning what love feels like — and he gives it back tenfold. He is tender, resilient, and deeply deserving of a forever home where he can exhale for good. There is something incredibly grounding about Eddie. He’s calm, affectionate, and intuitive in a way that feels almost human. He’ll lean into you when you need comfort, greet you with a full-body wiggle, and melt into your side like he’s been waiting his whole life for you.
He loves the simple things:
- Sunbathing
- Hanging by the lake
- Carrying around his beloved plushie toys
