  • Peppa Pig (But Make It a Dog): Meet the House Hippo With a Heart of Gold

    Peppa Pig (But Make It a Dog): Meet the House Hippo With a Heart of Gold
    2025/07/24
    This week’s Star 99.9 Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week is Peppa. Also lovingly nicknamed “Peppa Pig” by her fans. She’s a short-legged, snuggle-loving house hippo who’s just as happy curled up on the couch as she is going for a brisk walk around the block. Peppa is a sweet, adult pup with stellar leash skills, solid house manners, and a serious affection for stuffed toys.

    She’s looking for a home where she can be the only pet, with dog-savvy humans (12+ please!) who appreciate a good couch cuddle after a play session. Peppa does have a few special needs (some allergies), but with the right care, she’s ready to give tons of love. If you're ready to meet your new best snuggle buddy, call 1-800-452-0114 or stop by the Connecticut Humane Society daily between 12:00pm–4:30pm and chat with an adoption counselor! Visit CThumane.org/Adopt for more.
