My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Have you always wanted a hippopotamus but couldn’t have one? Introducing Magnus. Part pit bull, part hippo, all heart. This absolute unit wandered up to an ITP volunteer’s house on the 4th of July like he had an invite to the cookout. Fireworks? Please. He is the grand finale. 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 is new here and still needs to be neutered, but here’s what we know so far: Dogs: Passed his shelter eval with slow wags and happy sniffs. We’ll do proper intros once he’s neutered, but early signs say this man is a gentleman. Car Rides: Calm. Cool. Collects admiration from passing drivers. Leash Walking: What leash? Sure, technically, he’s on a leash. But he certainly doesn’t know that. 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. Adopt this beautiful beefcake and improve your quality of life today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Complete an Adoption Application!July 26, 2025, 2:29 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Magnus, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
