the party, whether she’s trotting around proudly with a toy in her mouth, rolling over for endless butt scritches, or wiggling with joy when she meets someone new (human OR dog!). Her foster says she’s fun, friendly, playful, and a great listener. She’s basically a chubby ray of sunshine!
Barbie’s favorite activities include walking with a toy in her mouth, receiving pets (especially butt scritches), and basking in attention from her favorite people! She's got that “Barbie can do anything” energy—whether it’s cuddling, goofing off, or plopping her booty into your lap, regardless of whether she fits.
So far Barbie is finding the hustle and bustle of life in the city to be overwhelming, and we suspect that she would thrive in a quieter area, and love a backyard of her own. She’s done well with meeting dogs in the past (lots of joyful wiggles!), but is still working on her leash manners around new people and other animals. So she would especially love walks in a lower-traffic neighborhood where she can feel at ease!
Barbie has been doing an amazing job with her weight loss journey, and only needs to lose a couple more pounds before having her spay surgery, which PAWS will provide once she's reached her goal weight. In the meantime, she is ready to trade her plastic digs for a real life dream home via our Pre-Adopt Program, and please submit your application and reach out if you’re ready to share your home with this delightful house hippo!
