Meet Yoyo

Meet Yoyo, a happy senior hippopotamus with a heart of pure gold. Yoyo is 10 years old, sweet as pie, and slow-moving--in other words, she's perfection. She is dog-friendly and loves to be loved on. She has hip dysplasia and arthritis, so leisurely walks and gentle play are all the exercises needed to keep this big mama happy and healthy. Apply today to learn more about Yoyo! All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!
