Looking for a unique cuddle buddy with a truly heartwarming story? Meet Lexus, our resident North American House Hippo (okay, maybe she's a mixed breed with a special past). This 10-year-old sweetheart might not have the conventional coat of a canine superstar, but her personality shines brighter than any fur!
Lexus battled a skin infection when she came to us, and while it may have taken away most of her fur (which is thankfully growing back!), it certainly hasn't dimmed her spirit. While she might not be a fan of rowdy kids under 10, she thrives on human companionship in a calm environment - think leisurely strolls, snuggling near (not always on) you, and wallowing luxuriously in her fuzzy bed.
Here's a heads up about Lexus's medical needs: she's hypothyroid and will require medication for the rest of her life. Additionally, yearly or bi-yearly bloodwork is necessary to monitor her condition. But don't let that deter you, with proper care and love, Lexus can live a long and happy life.
Think you can provide the perfect home for this one-of-a-kind pup? Lexus is waiting for her forever human, someone who sees beyond fur and appreciates the incredible hippo she is.
