Story
Meet Sir Drake. Also known as Sir Meathead. Sir squishy face. Sir Serious. Drake is a former Death Row inmate whom we helped free due to his innocence. He is around 3 years old, so his playfulness is only when he goes on walks. Otherwise, he is chillin' like a villain. He loves food, food, and more food. He is a strong boy, so the food and balance of little kids may be in jeopardy when he is around. His perfect home would be where he was the center of attention. He is not a fan of cats either. He thinks he was born to be the only pet in the home.

Story
Cuzzin Eddie is here! He is a typical happy-go-lucky hippo that was part of a hoarder situation. He craves love! And more love. He has some flea dermatitis that is already improving. He is a handsome fella in the making. The other dogs do not phase him, and he probably lived with many. He either ignores the cats or plays with them. If you are looking for a lovable hippo who will be your Velcro buddy, Eddie is the visitor who will never leave!
