Story
🐾💙 Meet Artemis — Your Sweet, Playful Little House Hippo! 💙🐾
Looking for a lovable companion with a big heart, a playful spirit, and an adorable face? Meet Artemis! 🐶❤️
This handsome young Boxer/Pit Bull mix is one sweet little house hippo! Artemis previously found a loving home, but sadly, financial hardship meant his family could no longer keep him. Through no fault of his own, he's looking for a fresh start and a forever family to call his own.
And this boy has so much going for him!
🐶 A Playful Pup Who Loves Other Dogs!
Artemis gets along wonderfully with other dogs! He's generally submissive and respectful of his foster family's resident dogs, and he enjoys having canine friends to play with.
He's a high-energy youngster who loves to run, play, and get the occasional case of the zoomies! An equally energetic doggy sibling could be a fantastic match, although he also responds to guidance when his canine companions have had enough playtime. Sometimes he just needs a little reminder that the party is over! 😂
His previous adopter also reported that he walked nicely on a leash and enjoyed trips to the dog park.
🏡 Great House Manners and a Smart Cookie!
Artemis already has some wonderful skills under his belt!
🐾 Housetrained, with no accidents since returning to his foster home!
🐾 Crate trained and knows the command "Go to bed!"
🐾 Knows "Sit" and listens well.
🐾 Uses a dog door and is learning to ring a bell when he needs to go outside.
He's a smart, responsive boy who will benefit from continued training, consistency, and patience as he grows and matures.
❤️ A Sweetheart With a Sensitive Side
Artemis is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and eager to be part of the family.
He's previously lived with children between approximately 8 and 12 years old. Because he's still young, energetic, and prone to enthusiastic zoomies, a home with older children would be the better fit. His excitement could be a bit much for very young kids!
Artemis can also be sensitive to raised voices and may retreat when startled, so he'll thrive with a patient family who uses gentle guidance and positive reinforcement to help him feel safe and confident.
His compatibility with cats hasn't been established.
💙 Ready for His Forever Family!
Artemis is a wonderful combination of goofy energy, sweetness, affection, and eagerness to learn. He's already got a great foundation of house manners, loves other dogs, and has so much potential as he grows into his big personality!
All he needs is a family who will appreciate his playful spirit, continue helping him learn, and give him the stability and love he deserves.
Could this adorable little house hippo be your new best friend? 🐾💙
