HANK (mini hippo) only 20 lbs - Mixed Breed and Shar Pei Dog for Adoption in Elyria, Ohio

Hank is 5 months old and 20 lbs. He came to Rescue with his brother, Wally because they were older puppies that didn't sell. Never heard of a mini hippo?

Here is the description:

"The Mini Hippo Dog is a relatively new designer breed believed to have originated in the United States. It is a cross between the Cocker Spaniel, a small, energetic, and family-friendly sporting dog, and the Chinese Shar-Pei, an ancient breed from China known for its wrinkled skin.

. The breed was developed primarily as a companion dog, combining the affectionate nature of the Cocker Spaniel with the distinctive appearance and loyalty of the Shar-Pei "

So..... poor little Hank is only 5 months old and already homeless. He has lots of adorable wrinkles and a docked tail. He is a friendly but lower key pup who loves people. He likes to play and be his puppy self but doesn't seem to be rowdy or wild. All of his vet care is up to date including his neuter.

adoption fee: 350

NOTE: They look much larger in the pictures because the pictures are close-up. They are small enough to pick up and put in your lap.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Shar Pei is a distinctive breed known for their deep wrinkles and blue black tongue. Originally from China, these medium sized dogs are loyal, independent, and protective of their families. Shar Peis have a unique appearance with a hippopotamus like face and a broad, padded muzzle. Their coat can be either horse coat or brush coat, coming in a variety of colors. While they can be aloof with strangers, Shar Peis are devoted companions with a calm demeanor, making them wonderful family pets.
