Angie is the epitome of a "house hippo," a 4-year-old pittie mix weighing around 56 lbs. She's not about the high-octane energy often associated with her breed; instead, she's a professional snuggler, a champion sunbather, and a devoted companion. Angie has a short, stocky build, a cute blocky head, and a soft, shiny black coat that makes her utterly irresistible. Her foster parent affectionately calls her a "house hippo," and it's the perfect description for this comfort-built, snuggling enthusiast. She's content to quietly hang out near her person, nap by their desk, and enjoy leisurely strolls and sunshine. Angie is an A+ snuggler who loves to be the "little spoon" and believes personal space is overrated in the sweetest way.
Ideal Home
Angie would thrive in a home with children around 6 years and older who can appreciate her calm and gentle nature. While she has been wonderful with children aged 4-10, she may find younger toddlers a bit overwhelming. She's also happy to share her life with mellow, respectful dogs, but she needs a home without cats, as she finds them too interesting.
Ongoing Health
Angie is a rescue dog, and while her breed and exact age are a mystery, she is up-to-date on all vetting, which includes vaccinations, deworming, flea and heartworm preventatives, and she has been spayed.
Training & Support
Angie is crate trained and can comfortably stay in her kennel for up to eight hours. She is house-trained but has a mild tendency to chew on shoes and magazines when unsupervised. Keeping these items put away and using her crate when you're away will help manage this behavior.
