Aza Lou the Land Seal Sweetheart

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. In fact, if Aza wants to get on a couch or bed, there's a good chance you'll be providing transportation services.

Aza is one of those dogs that is simply easy to be around. She has found the perfect balance between affectionate and independent. She loves being close to her people, loves giving kisses, and would happily sit in your lap if you let her, but she's not clingy or overwhelming about it. She's content just being near you, always nearby but never demanding. Every now and then, her silly side comes out, and she'll throw herself onto her back and start squirming around like a fish out of water, her upside-down facial expressions guaranteed to make you laugh.

Ideal Home

Aza is dog-friendly and has done wonderfully with every dog she's met so far. 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. She would be just as content soaking up all of the attention as your one and only. Aza also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. She would do wonderfully in an apartment, condo, or home with a backyard.

Ongoing Health

All vetting is included in the adoption fee, which includes DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, and a microchip with free lifetime registration.

Training & Support

Aza is crate trained and generally walks right into her kennel on her own. She is also potty trained and has shown herself to have wonderful house manners. She's respectful in the home, easygoing, and overall just a very pleasant roommate. She takes treats incredibly gently and already knows how to sit and shake. She walks nicely on leash and would make a wonderful companion for leisurely strolls around the neighborhood.
