My name is KaiSa!

Hi there! My name is Kaisa and I’m the cutest gray and white baby hippo (aka pitty mix) around! I am 2 years old and weigh in at about 40lbs.
I had a litter of puppies back in New Mexico before I moved here to Utah. Food wasn’t always available to me, and with having to feed so many puppies, I lost a lot of weight! My coat lost a bit of its shine as well, but now that I have been rescued I’m feeling much healthier! My coat and body are doing great and I’m ready to find my forever family <3

I am a very smart girl, and I want to please my people. I’ve been going to training classes and everyone is impressed with how attentive I am. At home, I have been learning how to walk next to my foster mom without pulling on the leash, and I’ve made so much progress! I am eager to please my humans, and am extremely food motivated, so I catch on to new training fast! 

Sometimes when I see something small and moving quickly, I really like to chase it! I’m learning not to do that, however it’s probably best if I’m in a home that doesn’t have other small animals like cats. My foster mom says I have something called a “high prey drive”… whatever that means.

I’m always happy to go on walks with you, but just FYI - I am just as happy to hang out at home! I am what some may call a “couch potato”. I looove to sleep, and when I’m awake I like to just hang out in a comfy spot. I do great in a crate, but I won’t destroy anything if you leave me out in a room either! I'm potty trained and will whine when I need to go out. I’m quite low energy & maintenance, however something I would LOVE is to be pet and snuggled! My dream day would quite literally be getting my belly rubbed on the couch for hours on end.
I really love my humans!
Sometimes I love them a little too much, and might guard them against other dogs. I have a hard time sharing my favorite people, and because of this, I would probably do best as the only dog in the house! I don’t really guard anything else, and have never been aggressive towards my humans. The training courses are partly to help me learn I don’t need to guard my people, and I am definitely improving! I need to keep going for a little while, it’s been very good for me. I’m learning so much, and I have so much fun when I’m there! I am looking for someone who would continue to take me to my training classes, so I can keep up all of the good skills I am learning! My current trainer even discounts training after adoption!

I am honestly the sweetest girl, who just wants to hang out and snuggle with my forever person/family. I've spent time with little kids and did great with them, too! My foster mom is obsessed with me and says whoever gets me is going to be very lucky. If you’d like to meet up with me in person, please apply here https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
