My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pitopotamus is a sweet and goofy lady who has no idea she is a senior. She does have ongoing medical issues including requiring a prescripion diet for her skin. She gets baths once weekly with a medicated shampoo. This routine seems to be working very well for her. She does also have a sensitive stomach so doesnt get treats or human food.
She was labeled as dog aggressive, however, she has gone two years with no incidents and has been introduced to several new dogs. She also was labeled as cat aggressive however has only shown mild interest in cats(always separated by kennel door) unless they swat her then she barks. Due to the risks she needs to be in a home with no cats and mild tempered dogs, with an experienced and patient owner she likely could live with a housemate.
Never been around children but is quite clumsy so might knock them over.
Her adoption fee would go as a negative credit on her account to go towards future medical care.
Up to date on vaccines and prevention!
