Magnus

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Have you always wanted a hippopotamus but settled for a dog instead? Introducing Magnus. Part pit bull, part hippo, all heart. This absolute unit wandered up to an ITP volunteer’s house like he had an invite to the cookout. With a giant noggin, a heart of gold, and the swagger of a linebacker, Magnus came to the right place—he's just our type, and when his owners didn't show, we had to have him.  Let’s talk stats: 5 years old 110 lbs of thick-cut beefcake One comically oversized head Four gravity-defying paws Zero apologies Magnus has been doing lots of things lately and we're getting to know him! Here’s what we know so far: Kids: Incredibly chill around kids. Met a 3 year old and 1 year old and did great as they zoomed around and showed him all their toys. (Just look at the pictures!) Dogs: All signs point to total gentleman. Magnus does amazing on pack walks and greets other dogs with happy tail wags and play bows. We will be integrating him into a pack soon! Car Rides: Calm. Cool. Collects admiration from passing drivers. Leash Walking: He does get excited when passing dogs but corrects easily. He really loves going on pack walks and brings the chill vibes for the other dogs.  Playtime: Magnus may not look very athletic, but he'll hustle after a tennis ball like it owes him money. And once he gets going, it’s like trying to stop a freight train. Magnus is a vibe. He’s big. He’s goofy. He’s weirdly majestic. Just looking at him makes you smile. Everything feels a little lighter when he’s around. The jowls, the paws, the presence—chef’s kiss.
