Hi, I’m Hippo 🦛💙

Don’t let the name fool you – while I might be a solid Staffy boy, I’m really just a big softie at heart! I’m affectionate, sweet, and people-focused, and I love nothing more than splashing into cuddle time with my humans 🥰

Like a true hippo, I’m happiest when I’m close to my herd. I’m an active boy who enjoys playtime and daily adventures, but I also adore lounging around once I’ve had my exercise. A home that can balance fun and downtime would be perfect for me 🐾🌊

I’ll need a meet and greet with other dogs to ensure we’re a good match, and a meet and greet with children aged 10+ is required as I can be a bit strong and enthusiastic when excited. I also require secure, gap-free fencing to keep this Hippo safely in his paddock 🏡🔒

If you’re looking for a chunky cuddle-bug with a playful streak and lots of love to give, come meet Hippo – I promise I’ll make a big splash in your heart 🦛💦🐾

While I'm awaiting my forever home, I'm being fed Savour Life, who are generous partners of AWLQ!

Please Note:

Please visit our Animal Rehoming Centres during opening hours to meet our animals and adopt. No appointment is needed. For select animals, we will require an email application. Where this is the case, instructions will be specified on the animal's profile.

This website is live and updates frequently. To check if an animal is available, please check their adoption profile. If it is active and hasn't been marked as 'adopted', the animal is still here.

Please be aware there is a chance that by the time you arrive at our location, the animal you have an interest in might have been adopted, or another party might be going through the adoption process.
