If you’re in the market for a Certified House Hippo,  your search might officially be over.

Joker is a snorty, silly, affectionate guy who takes his walks very seriously. He’s a big sniffer with even bigger snorts, and he brings undeniable main-character energy wherever he goes. Friendly and happy to meet new people, Joker is the kind of dog who makes friends everywhere he lands.

At home, Joker is an easygoing sweetheart. He’s housetrained, crate trained, and has excellent manners, so much so that he can be trusted alone and will politely ignore snacks left within reach. He loves being close to his people, leans right in for butt scratches, and gives top-tier kisses. When he’s not out on a walk, you’ll find him enjoying stuffed toys or settling in for some quality cuddle time.

Joker enjoys the company of other dogs, but he may prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can soak up all the love. He’s calm in busy environments, eager to learn, and still polishing up his leash skills, making him a great candidate for continued training and bonding.

Joker is currently in a wonderful foster home and is not staying at the shelter. If you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet with this lovable, snorting cuddle pro, please email adoptions@kitsap-humane.org.
