In the shelter’s words
Meet Abby! She's the sweetest House Hippo you will ever come across. Abby is a BIG girl at 87 lbs. but she is so sweet. She has spent a lot of time at Camp Merricks and has never been a problem in any of the play groups she has been in. She was a momma dog for a long time, and she's now very happy to never have puppies again. Abby LOVES water. She will roll around and splash in tubs and small pools... just like a hippo! What Abby REALLY wants is to be inside, on the couch, snoozing or spending time with you. Even when she is at Camp, she is always looking for an opportunity to go inside. Abby's only fault is she pulls like a train on leash. She wants to go where she wants to go, which is back inside. If you don't need to walk your dog everywhere, and just want a house companion who will take up a little space, Abby might be your girl. She's just SO loveable. Meet Abby today and see if she's the House Hippo you didn't know you needed!
