Moo Deng, adoptable from Richmond Animal League, might not be a pygmy hippo from Thailand... but she's right here and ready to be your very own house hippo!

Her ideal home would include a dog friend to show her the ropes, as Moo Deng is a gentle soul who's still learning to open up to the love of humans. She may be a little shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’ll be your most loyal companion.

At 3 years old, this sweet girl enjoys the simple things in life—like head massages and back rubs! Once you've proven your petting skills, Moo Deng is sure to come out of her shell.

If you're in the market for a peaceful princess (but a real hippo isn’t exactly in the cards), Moo Deng is your girl.

Moo Deng is currently in a foster home. If you're interested in meeting her, please submit an adoption application at www.RAL.org.
