If you've never experienced the joy of sharing your life with a proper house hippo, Aza Lou would like to formally submit her application. This girl is built like a little land seal, comes equipped with soulful brown eyes that could convince you to do just about anything, and has perfected the art of cozy companionship. She's not here to run marathons. She's not here to climb mountains. She's here to sit next to you on the couch, accept forehead kisses, provide emotional support, and remind you that life is better when you slow down a little. Aza Lou is approximately 5 years old, weighs around 63 lbs, and we believe she may be a Pittie mix. She's short, stocky, squishy, and incredibly huggable. She's the type of dog that looks athletic in photos until you realize she's actually a potato with legs. In fact, if Aza wants to get on a couch or bed, there's a good chance you'll be providing transportation services.
Ideal Home
Aza is dog-friendly and enjoys other dogs, but she's more of a "hello friend, okay see you later" type. She would do best with another dog that shares her cool, calm, and collected outlook on life, a cozy companion rather than a full-time playmate. She absolutely can live with another dog, but she doesn't need one to be happy and would be just as content as an only pet. She was respectful of the resident cat and did not chase him. She would likely do well in an apartment, condo, or home with a backyard.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Aza is crate trained and generally walks right into her kennel on her own, though she sometimes appreciates a little boost. She is also potty trained and has wonderful house manners, being respectful and easygoing. She takes treats gently and already knows how to sit and shake, often repeating her shake as if to wave. She walks nicely on leash and enjoys leisurely strolls.
